I am looking for anyone with the surname of Vitu, this was the name of my great grandfather, and I have found it hard to find any information on any other parts of the family. :-)

Carol,
You have not said what information you are looking for, and what you have already found. Which other parts of the family do you want to know about?
Have you already found Octavian in the censuses?
Thanks

To me the request looked like Carol was looking for anyone with the surname Vitu

If you are looking for living people Carol use the search trees to look for any connections.

It looks like the name died out in this country so you may not find any.

Can only see one birth with that surname since 1916 born 1979 but no marriage for him up until 2005

The second time of writing this message, but thanks to everyone for the help, will follow the line of Eliza's marriage to Douglas Deverson, I have most of the other information provided, there are now probably no further family left to trace, thanks again.
