Hi Ricki
I believe the name Yoddow is in the same family as Guindon.The name Guindon was under Guedon and came from france in the 1600.
They move to Canada in the 1670.
Guindon had other names like Yada,Yaddow,Yanda,Yandan,Yandaw,Yandeau,Yandeu,Yando,Yandon,Yandaw,Yandeau,Yeaudon,Yedan,Yedon,Yondau,Yondeau,Yonden,Yondon,Yondow.
As you can see we had lots of defrint names but all means the same thing.
Please let me no if it help you in some way.
Roch Guindon
