My ancestor is Hannah Albert (b. 15 Aug 1811, d. 25 Sep 1887), buried Klopps Cem., Hamlin, Lebanon, Co, PA, wife of John Gerhard (Gerhardt, Gerhart). She may be a descendant of Franz Albert, Huguenot immigrant, native of Duex-ponts, France, who was killed by Indians June 26, 1756 in Bethel Twp, Lebanon Co. (See F. A. Davis, 1875 Atlas of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, page 10 at col. 3)

My Gerhart name may be derived from Gerard. Church records from Langenselbold, Hessen, about 1715, spell the family name with an "h" but an older record shows it spelled GERART, and one early family genealogist hypothesized that the family was Hugenot.

Hi. I just love this site. My ancestors are Bouchillon / Guillebeau. They are part of the last Hugenots that settled in Abbeville, SC. I'm a member of the DAR through a different ancestor. When I tried to submit my application through these ancestors, the records have a flag indicating that lineage needs to be documented. It seems there has been some conflicting information at two points and I would like to try and resolve it -- one way or another. I have the referenced documents and I can understand the concerns, but like any good genealogist -- I want to solve the puzzle. Any assistance/guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My maternal grandmother was a Mallalieu.

Hi Anne. That is a very generous offer and I would be very grateful if you could look up Lucadou or similar spellings like Lucadon, Lookadoo, Luckado, and Lucado.Unfortunately I can't give you any dates so it might be impractical.

FREE RESEARCH OFFER -
For The French Genealogy Blog, I am going to visit the departmental archives of Dordogne. It is more interesting to be doing real research. If anyone has names and dates of birth for ancestors from Dordogne, please send them to me NOW (I leave next week) and I will research them for you. I will also describe the research and use what I find in the blog.

Please pass this on to others who may be interested.

Thank you
Anne

My Mother's maiden name was Lucadou-Wells. I, along with some people in England are trying to trace the family tree. It seems that the original name was Lucadou and they changed their name to Wells in the late 1700s. Later they combined the two to Lucadou-Wells. Does anyone know if this was a common event at that time. I am guessing it was the time of the English - France wars and anyone living in England might have been unpopular if they had a French name so hence the change. Guessing though.

The family I am interesting in is Le Plastrier. They started in France and ended up in England, Holland and Australia. I have the tree in the database, thanks to the original work of a distant cousin-in-law. However, it is a few years old. I would love to be in contact with other family mebers to share the information and to update the information.
Cheers
