My grandfather (maternal) and several generations back shared one or bothe of these names: LEWDA and LEAKE. The family is definately British Isles Celtic, predominately Welsh. Greatgrandfather was MATISON LEDWA; his father was
EWEN LEWDA LEAKE. I am only concerrned with LEWDA LEAKE, as they are namesaked to me. (
Robert Lewda Leake Wait) If its any help, Lewda is pronounced "LU-thaa"; Leake is pronounced "La-a ke" (Like "lake" with a long-sounding, drawn out "a")
