Re: origin of said surname
There is a forum for surname questions and discussion - someone will be able to help you there. http://surnames.behindthename.com/bb/surFrom my knowlege of French I can tell you that peau means "skin" and chate looks like a variation of chat (cat). Peaudechate would then mean "cat skin." I'm no expert, though, so someone on the surnames board can verify that for you.________________________________________________
