My great-grandmother...

was named Viola Porteous.
Porteous MAY be french-Canadian, or possibly from the UK. I cannot be certain, b/c she was adopted.
If anyone happens to know something, it would be appreciated.

i've found a good site for you...(m)

http://www.free-definition.com/Porteous-family.html

it tells the history of the Porteous family! :)

Porteous used to be from a French immigrant with the surname Porteuse. Porteuse probably means 'courier' or 'messenger'.

hope i helped.
