Hello and welcome to Wikimedia Commons and thank you for your question! I only really use this site to upload and edit photographs etc.. and I don't know too much about the origin of surnames, so I'm probably not the best person to ask about this. Also, in the interests of transparency, I always reply on this talk page rather than e-mail.

Although, I have done some brief searches on the "Orret" name today and it appears to be a variant spelling of "Orrett". This site claims that the name means "wolf-counsel", although I can't say if the information on that site is accurate or not. Also, the surname does appear to have some local connections to North West England and North East Wales as illustrated here. Although the number of Orrett families in the region being less than 42 according to the 1891 census would still make this a quite rare name, infrequently encountered, even here. I have never met anyone with the name "Orrett" or "Orret" in person, although the first web link above does mention Jane Orrett, christened in Eastham, Cheshire (now Eastham, Merseyside) in the year 1610, which is just a few miles away from where I live. We also have a nearby road called Orret's Meadow Road on the Woodchurch Estate (a housing estate which was built around the 1950s). So the Orrett families have definite connections with my local area, but I had not heard of them until I had read your question. Also, Orret is apparently a commune in Eastern France. I hope that was of some small help! Regards/Saludos, Rept0n1x (talk) 16:57, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Rept0n1x thank you, although my English is not very good, thank you for the research, because I am being about finding my ancestros with spelling ORRET or ORRETT, but only I have e-mail and the Wiki, thank you again for its help.

If you can help me send me the e-mails for the person or another contact form, and I would already thank for it.

You could try posting on this message board. Free registration is required to post. I notice other people with the name Orret or Orrett have also posted and there's a lot more information there, including an e-mail address for someone else researching the Orrett name (on one of the posts here.) There may be other similar forums on the Internet. Kind regards, Rept0n1x (talk) 07:14, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Also, I've removed your e-mail address as it's not recommended to post a full e-mail address on a publicly viewable website. In my experience, it will just get harvested for spamming purposes. Rept0n1x (talk) 19:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Also, since you posted from your IP address yesterday, I have noticed some previous edits originating from your address which look like vandalism or at least inappropriate for Wikimedia Commons. I have undone some of these edits. Rept0n1x (talk) 07:33, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
