'Puff Adders Head'
This Kente motif is a symbol of exploitation,
being over-burdened with work.
From the African proverb,
"I cannot even carry the python, yet you are asking
me to use the puff adders head as a carrying pad."

  CONSIDERATIONS FOR RESEARCH:
                              
*Other surnames may also exist under the
Head of Household surname.

*Variations of surname spellings are common: e.g.
 (Amoreux, Amoureux, Amorouex, Amereu),
(Ribault, Ribeau, Rebo), (Govreau, Govro, Govru)
and often represent the same family.

*Older Federal Census Records are often faded,
illegible and/or damaged, thus challenging to transcribe!
