Alvis surname origin
Hello,
I think that I may have asked this question before, some 7 years ago, but perhaps somebody can help me now.
I have yet to find anything substantive as to the origin of the Alvis surname. Does anybody have any solid evidence?
My greatgrandfather was James Anderson Alvis, b.1828 in VA. Married Marie Emeline Tatum in TX. A letter from one of his sons states that James A. "never spoke of his people". None of our family has been able to go back any further than him.
Many thanks,
Jeff
