Our E3b D'Arcy line is said to be of Norman origin and to have come with
William the Conqueror also. They are represented by line 20 in the E3b
project chart (today). Not a close match to your Harvey line though.

Andrew,

This Harvey surname history is supposedly fairly well identified back to
1459 in Kent, England, with this ancestor's heritage going back to a
Norman coming with the invasion of 1066 or thereabout. Nothing else
known of origins.
