Oral reference in our family to a "town in France near the German border" as being the origin of the family name brought me to seek out the small town of Varey, France in the Dept of Ain, about mid-way between Lyon, France and Geneva, Switzerland. It was also stated that the family name was originally "de Varey" which would support the geographical origin. Varey France is still a small town of about 200+ people with a chateau that pre-dates a known "Battle of Varey" which took place there in 1325.
