Another spelling is Dare with an accent over the "e". The Darres in Nova Scotia originated with a Nicholas Dare who settled here in 1752 with a shipload of German Protestants. They settled in Lunenburg (recently declared a World Heritage Site by the UN) where the German culture is still evident. Nicholas gave his state of origin as Montbeliard . The name has evolved into Dory in Lunenburg but is spelled and pronounced Darres alsewhere in Nova Scotia

My granfather was born in Antwerp Belgium. I wonder if there
is any other Darris's out there that would have some sort of knowledge
of the original spelling of this name. I know he entered the U.S Through Ellis Island
I am trying to trace this down but cannot find it because of the spelling..
