I am looking for information on the Huyet dit Champagne's in Charleville, Ardenne, Champagne, France. The first Huyet dit Champagne that I have is: Pierre Poncelet Huyet dit Champagne; Mother's name was Margueritte Saume. Both from Charleville. Their son, Etinne, born abt. 1692, came to Canada around 1710, as an apprentice shoemaker. Any information on the Huyet dit Champagnes's from Charleville would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
My name is Rebecca and I live in Australia. I am also trying to find out information on Isabelle Huyet dit Champagne, born in L'Anse Creuse in 1830, MI. I believe from my family tree she is my Great, Great, Great Grandmother. Any information would be great. I am trying to find out her parents names and where they originated from.

Thanks

Rebecca

Hello Rebecca, Right now I live in Arizona (last 10 years) but was born in MI and married a Champine/Champagne and have been researching my late husband's family tree. Someone in Canada was kind enough to send me the info....I have more, but they belong to other branches of the family. I would however, like to know how/why Isabella moved to Australia....marriage date, etc. if you have the info.
Please send me an email pine1234@citlink.net
Happy hunting, Teri Champine

Hi Terri
As far as I can see from my limited information she didn't move to Australia. She had a Daughter, Exilda Julia Amelia and she was born in Ontario 20 Feb 1856, She the had a Daughter, another Exilda born in 1877, and the she had my Grandmother Thelma who was born in MI but died in Dubbo NSW Australia in 1970 when my mum was very young and I never got to meet her. Any confirmation would be appreciated.

Thanks Terri

Bec

I am going to try and post the info here....but if it comes messed up -- Send me an email to the following address...not reply on this post.
Teri

Hi

I am researching my family in Aube (10) in Champagne-Ardennes and use the Yahoo genealogy groups to locate people who are able to do research at the archives. The research is done for free and they will send you scanned copies of original parish records (with a translation from "Old French" if needed). The people on my groups that I am a member of are only too willing to help, but "patience is a virtue" because some are very busy and you may need to wait a week for them to get your info if they are busy. For Ardennes you might send an email to the following address to join the group:

GenArdennes-subscribe@yahoogroupes.fr

Note that the language on this one is French. If you do not speak French you can always write in english and use translator such as Google and past the translation into your email to the site. Let them know when you ask for info that you don't speak French and use a translator - often they do speak english and will respond directly to you. I have been in contact with 2 very distant cousins in France - one of whom speaks fluent english, the other a bit!!

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info! I was wondering how I could possibly get more information.

Teri Champine

Here is another way to find out about your relatives from Champagne or any other place from France. I am French but live in the US. I use the Mormons' Family Centers to do my research on this side of the pond. They have copies of most towns in France and it is open to everyone, regardless of religious belief. I think they have centers all over the world. It's free to go there. If you need a microfilm, all you have to pay is shipping. These microfilms are the exact copies of the civil and church records the Archives in France hold. Check out FamilySearch.org for a center near you. You will also find there, cheat sheets for understanding French archives, words, time periods, etc.

Most people on the Yahoo groups are French and do not speak English very well so you will probably have to post in French. Good luck.

Hello Rebecca, Teri,

I do researches in France, and I go sometimes to Champagne - I should go there still once before the summer. I could propose help.
