That is very interesting Amber because I know that a few Taves did move to California by way of East Texas. I am wondering if all of the Taves have some type of relationship. I have also noted on the internet that there are some Taves in France, Russia and Spain -- go figure.
I always thought of it as a Native American name as I said in the previous post.
Thanks for the response - I am just waiting for more information.
Oh yes, I did meet a Tave woman where I work, but she was not very interested in talking about her roots. She appeared embarrassed - she was Africian American.
