His father was Antoine Gaspard DeGruy Verloin and his mother was Francoise Hyacinthe leComte (or leConte). I am interested in Julia Zoe DeGruy or Zoe DeGruy because she married Frank L. Mitchell in 1878 in New Orleans. He is the one I can not find any info about. Wondering if you had some line on him. My name is Leonard F. Mitchell and the email address is victor40@hughes.net or call if you wish at 775-720-9627.

Terrific Sale for Degruy Family DNA Project includes all variant spellings

RobinDaviet222 — 2008-09-01 16:20:11Z

The Degruy DNA Project has been establish. At the present time, there is a great sale going on at FamilyTree DNA. Through our group and the sale, you can save $140 off the cost of a 37 marker YDNA test over the price of purchasing it as an individual outside our group. The current price is only $119. There has never been a lower price.

It is a great time to join. You can do this online through FamilyTree DNA and pay by credit card.

Due to popular demand FamilyTree DNA is extending its Sizzling Summer Sale until September 30th! The following big incentives are being offered:

Product Promotion Original Sale
Y-DNA12 Free mtDNA $189 $99
Y-DNA25 Free mtDNA $238 $148
Y-DNA37 Reduced $189 $119
Y-DNA37+mtDNA Reduced $339 $189
Y-DNA67 Reduced $269 $218
Y-DNA67+mtDNAplus Reduced $409 $288
mtDNAplus Reduced $189 $149

IMPORTANT: This promotion requires that payment is either made by credit card or received by the conclusion of the sale on September 30th, 2008.

To assist with the Degruy YDNA Project, you need to be a direct male descendant from a Degruy family line or a line of one of the numerous variant spellings of this surname. Ladies, you are welcome to enlist your husbands, if they are the descendant, sons, cousins, uncles and so on. You can also join the project if you are a direct female to female to female line to a female Degruy ancestor. The mtDNA tests are also on sale.

We recommend doing at least the 37 marker Y-DNA to truly define the Degruy family branch from which you descend. The top two bargains are the Y-DNA37+mtDNAplus and the
Y-DNA67mtDNAplus. This will provide your immediate family with both the Degruy line going back and your mother's line also going back to her mother, grandmother, etc.

If you are a female, the only DNA test you can do is the mtDNAplus. However, you can save money if you have a brother who is willing to do either the 37 marker or 67 marker Y-DNA test +mtDNAplus.

Men carry both the Y and X chromosomes, therefore your brother can get results for both your male direct line and your mother's female direct line through the combined tests. It costs less than just you doing the mtDNA testing and him doing just the Y-DNA testing. The information you will receive will be the same. To sweeten the pot for your brother, offer to pay for the difference between his 37 or 67 marker test to upgrade it with one that includes the
+mtDNAplus. This makes it a win-win situation for everyone.

For a more indepth explanation of both Y-DNA results and mtDNA results go to http://www.familytreedna.com/

Remember, if you are the researcher, but not a direct male or female descendant, you can help to encourage the relative who you find to be the donor by offering to share the cost of the testing. Only one male in a family needs to be tested because all male siblings most likely have exactly the same DNA. With this in mind, maybe a family with several siblings would all chip in to have one of the gentlemen in the family tested. The older the generation being tested the better, but this certainly is not a deal breaker if that individual is not into this "new fangled" technology.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to e-mail me at robindaviet@cs.com

Dear Friend in Netherlands,
Although I received two emails from you this morning, my responses to you are still bouncing back.
This is a shame because I sent you an invitation to our private Degruy
Family Collaboration Website. And I don't think you received it because of the problems with the email.
If you do, please let me know.
Thanks,
Renee

DEGRUY-L-request@rootsweb.com
and put as the subject heading and as the only message in the body

that should work.

There is a DeGruy Rootsweb mailing list for those who are interested and a DeGruy web site.

Re: Antoine Valentine Verloin DeGruy

2005-03-29 03:42:03Z

A lot of info has been compiled on the web. Clementine Verloin DeGruy was my GG grandmother, and the G granddaughter of Etienne deBore, 1st Mayor of New Orleans. My grandmother said C.V. DeGruy held her pinky finger out when she drank tea with an "aristocratic" flair. Clementine V. DeGruy married Michel Edmond Alphonse Bozonier Marmillion (b. Aug 6 1849) on Feb 8 1870. Marmillion was born at the San Francisco plantation "Sans Fruscin" built by his father. The plantation still stands on the River Rd. C.V.DeGruy's parents were Theophile DeGruy and Felicite Anaise Foucher. THANKS, Stewart

Antoine Valentine Verloin DeGruy

AVoorhries — 2005-02-07 23:24:30Z

Looking for ancestry for Antoine Valentine Verloin DeGruy, a French soldier at Kaskaskia, Illinois (Fort Chartres), in the early 18th century. He was supposedly born in Paris, France, or in the Palace at Versailles, just outside of Paris.

He married Marie Therese Aufrere in Illinois and left a number of children; after he died she remarried Joseph duSuau Delacroix and moved with him to the New Orleans area, bringing her DeGruy children with her.

This DeGruy and Aufrere are the ancestors of most, if not all, DeGruy, DeGruise, Verloin families in Louisiana.

If anyone knows of the DeGruy name outside of Louisiana, I would still like very much to have your information.
