How do you spell the name? With an unknown origin, I started noting the different spellings of Genoway(s) as they could be found mostly in France, but also any variation that we could use to find information.

The name comes from "Genoa" and there are many variations as the people of Genoa(between France and Italy) migrated throughout the world.
