Early Origins of the Turvill familyThe surname Turvill was first found in Normandy (French: Normandie), the former Duchy of Normandy, where this distinguished family held a family seat as members of the aristocracy in that region. The Tourvilles variously place their origin at either Tourville-la-Campagne in Eure in the arrondissement of Louviers, or in Turville in Eure in the arrondissement of Pont-Audemer, or Tourneville near Evreaux, all in Normandy. It is likely that the locations represented seigneuries held by the family. Early History of the Turvill familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Turvill research.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Virtus semper eadam
Motto Translation: Virtue is always the same.
