Bolt and DeBolt have very different origins. You'll find the former at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Bolt-family-history.ashx, and the latter at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Diebolt-family-history.ashx. You'll find a history of the American Debolts/DeBolts at http://www.brittanywhite.com/debolts.html.
