Re: I have old rifle, name on it Lt. Denis

0911Miata — 2011-12-17 00:29:09Z

I also have an old rifle with the name Lt. Denis on it. Does anyone know who made this and when. I have read the other posts but no one seems to know. I am really curious about this rifle and would appreciate any help or suggestions where I could find more info.

Thanks

Hi! I just logged on to leave the same query. I have found other Denis family in the same area as Francis but have not been able to make any connection. I have indication from the census that his parents were both from South Carolina. My interest is Robert Bailey Denis. Which child is your line? I will be still looking so I will be happy to share if I find anything. Good luck in your search.

There are many "DENIS" in the Green Bay WI area. My great grandfather was Leopold Cianee Denis. He was apparently born in Belgium, but he was found in a church tower and was raised by a woman whose name was DENIS, so he also took that name.

:) Thanks.

I am still hoping someone will help me find even the tiniest information, or at least points me in the right direction. Maybe someday I'll have more time to devote to learning exactly how and where to find the information that I need.

I am still searching, but not as diligently as I was back then. Best wishes on your search.

Re: Michael Joseph Denis

Zemindar1 — 2011-07-24 18:01:20Z

Michael,
I don't really have any helpful info, but as my last name is Dennis, I suggest you double the "n", or start under Dene, Deny, etc. I am finding info under all of this in my search.
That's how I noticed yours,

Good luck,

It involves the Maceo brothers who fought in a major war in Cuba,one brother fled to Jamaica and subsequently Bronx NY. The name was changed to McClean and eventually changed back to Maceo. The cousin who is the direct grandson is currently living in Florida.

Re: Denis or Dennis

mc3718e — 2010-10-20 22:21:43Z

my grandmother's name is Josephine Dennis DuRoss.I have a copy of her obit: She died August 16, 1972 at age 92 (the date was handwritten at the top.) (The obit said she died on Tuesday. I did not go back to see what date Tuesday was, but it would be either the 16th or the Tuesday just before the 16th)

Her survivors included one daughter Mrs. Fred Charbonneau of Ticonderoga; five sons; Orris of Pottersville, Merril (my father) of Glens Falls, Wallace of Ticonderoga, Morton of Farmington, N.H ( now dead); George of Crown Point and one sister MRS PEARL LAWRENCE of Wadhams, N.Y

Remember all this info was copied from an obit in 1972

Re: I have old rifle, name on it Lt. Denis

catherder178 — 2010-08-03 00:06:04Z

I have a Mauser 71 Jager rifle inscribed to Lt. Denis too. I've just been doing some research on it and it appears to have been manufactured in 1880 or 1882 (both dates on the rear of the receiver). The inscription reads: L, F, & P on top with Lt. Denis underneath. This was my grandfather's until a few years ago. There are a number of "I under crown" proof marks on various parts of the receiver. I'm very interested to know who Lt. Denis was.
The serial numbers on the action are all 80026.
Sorry I can't so much but ask more questions but maybe this rings a bell for someone.

Denis surname in Puerto Rico

odt73 — 2010-05-02 07:42:32Z

My great grandfather was Miguel Denis Rodriguez, born around 1875 from San Sebastian Puerto Rico, that's all I can find from the 1910 census. "Denis" seems to be French in origin but the question is how and when they got to Puerto Rico.

Any ideas on how i can find out more???... Anyone??

Olivier Denis birth & death

RobertJLaCroix — 2010-04-23 14:03:04Z

I'm looking for the birth date and location of Olvier Denis, son of Edouard Denis and Victoire Delisle. He was born around 1842.

At the time of his death he was the husband of Leontine Boucher, she died in 1878 he might have remarried.

Thank you

Re: I have old rifle, name on it Lt. Denis

freidelkyle — 2010-02-12 22:35:25Z

I have a rifle with the name Lt. Denis on it as well but stamped 87 1883 on the right side of the receiver. It's also stamped J. G. M/71 on the left flat of the receiver. I've not yet identified the high crowned proof marks to figure out where it was manufactured or who for. It's single shot, and it seems a smaller bore size than the standard 10 or 11mm. I was wondering if maybe it was a special model manufactured for a specific customer because some of the markings are inconsistent with the standard Mod. 71 Mauser. But since it seems there are similarly marked guns out there but with different years on them I'm not sure. The serial number is 4366 and it matches on all the parts. So if anyone has more info to contribute it would be of great help.

Bieliauskaite — 2007-05-23 20:35:31Z

I am not related, but I was just browsing in an antique store in Kalamazoo MI and saw a photo of a lot of folks, and a sign that said Denis Reunion, Memorial Park, 1923. It is about 10 inches wide and 4 inches tall, just guessing. I think the price was $20. I think this likely came from either Michigan or Indiana. I can pass along the store name and phone number if anyone is interested.

Re: Michel Denis

sluggan1 — 2006-06-13 05:56:36Z

Hi Jill,
Unfortunately I can't be much help to you as I have not yet started researching the French side of my family. However, I do have a connection to a LeTellier family from Caen. All that I know of them is that this surname is the surname of one of my great great grandparents. The LeTellier family of Caen married into the Foucard family - my great grandfather Emile Paul Arthur Foucard migrated to London some time after the 1840s where he and his brother Charles Auguste Arthur Foucard established a few businesses - one being Charles Foucard Goldrei and Son. If you do an inter-net search you will find details about this company. My cousin in Sweden informs me that the Foucard Estate in Caen - which was quite large - was completely destroyed by the Nazi's during the second world war. It was used as some kind of Nazi base and I suspect a lot of family items were looted, so much of the family history was lost at this time. I wish I could be of greater assistance, but until I start researching this side of my family - at least in France - I can't offer more than this.

Cheers,

Don Cameron.

I have old rifle, name on it Lt. Denis

ctait2000 — 2006-03-24 01:56:37Z

I'am not searching for Denis in my tree, but I do have an old rifle with the name Lt. Denis engraved on it. I don't know much about rifles but I do know it's a single shot bolt action, Mauser. It has 1881 on it but I don't know if thats the yr. I was told that it could be 1920. So if anyone has a Lt. Denis that was in the service, maybe we can find the history. Thank you! Claudia

Michael Joseph Denis

listinak — 2005-10-23 04:24:53Z

I'm looking for any information on my grandfather, Michael Joseph Denis. The information that I know is that he married my grandmother, Margarite DeLeo, had two sons, Raymond Louis Denis and Michael Felix Denis. They lived in NJ (New Brunswick) and NYC. I know he was a sailor in the US Navy and served in Rhode Island ? (dishonorable discharge, I think) and he died in 1980 in NYC. I understand he was of Hungarian decent, but I have no idea when they came to the US and from where. I believe his mother's name was Teresa but I don't know a last name. My grandfather had a half-brother Joseph Balazy and a sister, Teresa (Denis?). I would really like to just fill in some of my family tree and just have hit one dead end after another. I can't find birth info, marriage info, ggparents names or dates, ect. ANY help would be greatly appreciated
