Re: Surname meaning. (Defee)
Im related to DeFees...like you I thought French but the more ancestry research I do and the more census records I find I believe it could have been spelt, Diffi or difi..origins from Scottland. I have a DeFee cousin who doesnt have any French in her DNA test. I can trace the name back to the 1700s in South Carolina. Contact me if you need help
