Re: Francois family from Corsica France

Aguagalicia — 2011-07-11 22:33:48Z

Hi, I don't know if you are still needing info. My greatgrandmother was Louise Marie Francois who married Albert O Duffy. They only had two children, Mamie Thelma (grandmother) and Robert Fred who never married. I remember as a teenager, after my grandmother passed away, I liked to go through a box my mom had kept that had photographs and I remember reading a letter Louise had handwritten claiming land her father, Andre, had left in Corsica. In the letter she gave details about his arrival in Louisiana. And, even though I cannot recall the details, she mentioned the ship's name and date. My mom, it seems, has the box in storage. I have only recently started researching my family tree and I have mentioned the letter to my mother but she seems to have no knowledge of it. I have not been able to find details about Andre Francois, only census info from LA. My aunt Norma, Louise's youngest sister, lived with our family the last couple of years of her life, she talked about Edgar and Frankie, but not much about her older siblings. Are you related to my great grandmother Louise? I would be grateful for any info you might have on the Francois. I'm curious about the stepson, what was his name?

Hello my name is Marcus from New Orleans, Louisiana. I am researching my family ancestry on the Francoise (Francois).

My grandmother is Marie Nadeja Vallerie born April 10, 1911 in Pointe Coupee, Louisiana. Her father was Louis aka Jim Vallerie born in 1880. His mother was Marie Francoise born in 1865. Her father was Gustin Francoise born in 1842, married to Idelle who was born in 1843. His father was Severin aka Savarin Francois born in 1813, married to Amelie born in 1820 and Eugenie born in 1830.

FRANCOIS SURNAME FROM PLAQUEMINES PARISH, LOUISIANA

kehkashian0007 — 2010-12-08 18:27:23Z

I am doing genealogical research and trying to find more inquiries about my creole ancestors and fourth great grandmother and grandfather whose names were Josephine and Honore "Pahte" Francois. I do not know my fourth great grandmother Josephine's maiden name or if she had even derived from Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. I have had a very difficult time trying to find their marriage records, I am hypothesizing that they had gotten married around 1850. I am trying to find more inquiries about their children or my fourth great aunts and uncles, JUSTIN FRANCOIS born about 1854, JULIEN FRANCOIS born about 1856, AUGUSTINE FRANCOIS born about 1859, FRANCOIS FRANCOIS born about 1860, HONORE FRANCOIS born about 1862, HYPOLITE FRANCOIS born about 1863, ADELIDE FRANCOIS born about 1864(It is a very high probability that she was my third great grandmother who had been called DELIETTE, but had changed her name to ELISTE. She had married a man named Richard Jefferson in 1887 ). LUCIEN FRANCOIS born about 1868, JOSEPHINE FRANCOIS born about 1870, and CAMILITE FRANCOIS born about 1875.

Walter (Brooks?) Francois

scoobygert — 2010-09-13 01:18:03Z

I am looking for information on my great grandfather, Walter Francois. He was, according to family legend, born on a ship coming from France just as it entered New York Harbor. He was said to be a twin, but no one remembers his brother's name. He would have been born in the late 1800's as his daughter, Helen Franchois, was born in 1909 in Illinois. He was married to Ruth Little and Americanized the last name at some point. Thank you!!

I am the original poster noted as LawsonHouse. Yes I have a son Robert born abt 1927 to Leo Francois and his wife Hazel Marie Briere. Robert's nephew is married to my sister. The other poster who responded is also of this family and will probably reply to you too.

Re: Leo J. Francois, b. 1892, Maquoketa, Iowa

hikaru2011 — 2010-06-01 15:38:09Z

Did Leo J. Francois have a son named Robert Francois in the 1920's by any chance because the information says that he died in Scott Co. Iowa and that is where my entire Family is from.

Good Morning to you also,
I understand delays - life intervenes. Is your friend a relative of Edgar? I would love to know about her relationship to the Burrells. It has not been easy tracking the descendants of this family. My immediate side moved to Washington, DC. Could she tell me more about Edgar and Family?

Good Morning Aurelia,

I am sorry that it has taken so long for me to get back to you. I am doing this research for a member of my church and she has been out for a few weeks. I spoke with her last week and she states that he is indeed from the Northshore, specifically the Mandeville area.

Did you get my answer to your e-mail question regarding the middle name of Francois? I would like to hear from you if you are related to the Burrell Family or have info about Edgar Burrell. I am related to the Burrell Family. I am almost certain that his middle name could have been Francois.
Thanks, Aurelia

Re: Francois, Burrell, Harris AA New Orleans

AureliaBrooks — 2009-03-30 20:16:29Z

I am not sure if Edgar's middle name is Francois although it's possible since his mother's maiden name was Francois. The family originated in Mandeville and many lived in New Orleans. If possible would you share information so we can determine if this is the correct Edgar?

Thanks,
Aurelia

FRANCOIS, Peter D. married DOTY, Hannah

kellyfranc61 — 2006-01-08 03:31:54Z

Peter D. Francois (b. 1868) married Hannah Doty (b. 1873) in 1892. Stated they had been married for eight years on 1900 US Census. I located both of them in the 1915 IA State Census. In the 1920 US Census, Hannah is remarried to a W. L. Beckett. Found their marriage date to be 1/10/1918. I can't locate Peter in the 1920 US Census so I'm assuming he passed away sometime between after the 1915 IA census was taken Hannah's marriage to Beckett. I would love to have an obit for Peter or any other information regarding him. Thanks.

Francois (dit Lepage) / Tousignant

maurice_a_l — 2005-08-22 17:33:14Z

Looking for the parents of Louis Lepage who married Madeleine Boyer Feb. 2, 1735 in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Province of Quebec.
According to the parish register I consulted, his parents were Pierre Lepage and Madeleine Tousignant. Various unverified sources suggest they married circa 1702, location unknown; and that his grandfather was Pierre Lefrancois dit Lepage whose marriage to Madeleine Gaumond on Aug. 16, 1670 in Quebec City I found in the register of that parish.
Other unverified sources suggest his father's name was Louis Francois. Would very much love to find the record of the mariage of his parents. Any help much appreciated.

Hello Mary,

Bethel Ruth Francois is my Great Grandmother though I have never met her and am not sure when she died. Her Daughter's name was Ruby Belle Francois who was born in Tomah, WI and was my Grandmother as well. She had married my Grandfather Melvin Laverne Johnson in or around Mondovi, WI, and Melvin died June 12th, 1944 in the Normandy invasion on the shores of France. Ruby Belle Johnson (Maiden Francois) (her stepfather's name was Hedding, and no information about her paternal father except his name might have been Underhill) came out to California in the Santa Cruz area with my Father Kenneth Melvin Johnson. She married a Elmer John Kensinger who has passed away as well.

Is any of this information helpful?

Regards,
Ken M. Johnson
