Re: Amos Jacques b.1829 --parents: William and Charlotte

davidledger150 — 2012-05-08 21:16:36Z

I have a William Jacques b1805 which would be the right sort of age for your Amos's father. I have no more information on William himself.

His parents were Thomas b1786 and Hannah Mewkill b 1780.

He had siblings John b1808, Mary 1810-1851, Ann b1811, Charles b1815, Elizabeth 1817 - 1820, Thomas b1819, and Joseph b1822.

I'm descended from Charles. All children of Thomas b1786 were Leicester based.

Ora Jaques

aarmstrong612 — 2012-05-08 17:43:16Z

Hello! I am looking for the family of Ora Jaques born 1891 in Iowa. Both of his parents were born in Canada. He is African American.

He has two children, Rolland & June both born in Omaha There names were changed to Jakes, he married Willa Mae Michels (Who was african american and her father was part french) in Omaha NE, and shortly died there after in 1934. He was shot dead in the streets.

I would like to find more information about his parents. And being that his birth was in 1891, I'm assuming I should hit the slavery road block.

Any information helps

My name is Joyce (Lapointe), daughter of Raymond Leo Lapointe. My father's mother is Stella Jacques (26 Feb 1899 Lowell, MA) married Joseph Leo Lapointe. Stella's parents are Napoleon Jacques and Angelina Lusignan both born in Canada. We may be part of your tree. That is really all the info I have on them.

Hi!
After so many years I think my researchs about Jacques name
are ending.Recently in november 2011 i had been in Spain in a little middle edge city named Jaca .This city is in the Pirineus Mountains and was in the 1500 the firs capital of the Aragon Kingdon..Its umbeliveble how everything is like the early times!!!So you can imagine ,the name Jacques cames from Jaca.And the habitants from Jaca are named the" Jacques".
This city uses to have to sinagogs and a very big jewish quarter.
Jaca was the first place in Spain ho had documents showing the presence of jewish people.
The spanish kings Fernando fron Aragon e Isabel from Castela took off the jewish people all his belongs and properties until this peaple runs away from France,because is the neigbourhood,very close, (just 20Kms)on the other side of the mountains.The did it probably for dont be killed for the inquisicion.
The real thig was: the gentios didnt have any reason for scape.So ho moves away of Jaca from France and after other parts from the world includding South and nort America ..
Thats what I find until now..

Nicolas Jacques & Catherine Alard marriage record

jnicklaw — 2012-01-25 22:05:24Z

Would like some help in filling in the gaps of the French text to English of marriage record for Nicolas Jacques & Catherine Alard. Have tried to guess at some words but failed. Wondering if someone fluent in French might have a better grasp at filling in the blanks. I also attached a file of the document.

Thank you so much for replying! I am looking for Pierre-Noel son of Nicolas. I question everything I look at as I have learned the hardway that there are alot of errors out there. I will track down your page and see what I can learn. Looking at actual records keeps me straight, but this one I could not find a way around--until you answered! Thank you again!

Re: Pierre Noel & Nicolas

Jeanne63 — 2012-01-04 18:33:21Z

Dear Kathy,
It’s hard to know to whom exactly you are referring. Assuming you mean Pierre-Noel Jacques, son of Nicolas JACQUES & Marie Louise Hélène LANCELEUR, baptized 25 Dec 1753 at Charlesbourg, I have his father Nicolas born 20 Mar 1724 & died 28 Aug 1800.

Nicolas, the son of Louis JACQUES & Marie Marguerite SÉGUIN / SIGOUIN, was the brother of my husband’s 6th Great Grandfather Pierre JACQUES, who married Marie-Ambroise CHALIFOUR on 12 Feb 1720 at St-Charles-de-Charlesbourg.

I do have a Nicolas JACQUES, son of Pierre JACQUES & Marie-Anne BOUVIER, who was born 1748 & buried 28 Oct 1751 in Verchères.

Where did your information come from?

There is a lot of misinformation on the Web, which is why documentation is so important. I invite you to check out my J R JACQUES website on Ancestry.

Pierre Noel & Nicolas

KathyHeide69 — 2011-12-30 17:16:10Z

Hello,
Is anyone able to clarify why Nicolas Jacques is shown to be deceased in October 1751 and his son is born December 1753? (Over 48 months difference) It's in quite a few trees that way and I am unable to understand HOW that is possible? Help!

I have translated a B/M/D document from Contrecoeur Paroisse De La Tres-Ste-Trinite (1744 – 1774)that states the place and date of Nicolas Jacques death. Can anyone confirm the place of death for Nicolas Jacques who was born 28 Sep 1691 is one in the same?

Re: Is the Family name Jacques a jewish name?

DonaldWalterSchalk — 2011-10-19 00:19:06Z

My name is Schalk, but the family name was Jacques when they entered the United States. The name was misunderstood and was written on the entry form with the spelling "Schalk". there are several of the family members (decendents) with names that are different but still related. ex Chalk, Schalk Schalck, Shalk etc.

There is still a part of the family in Hoste, France where they have been for hundreds of years. I visited them about three years ago, and met various members of the family. The family speaks French, some German (due to the German control during the war), and limited English. You will be very proud of your French family.

The name may have been Jewish if you go back to the early part of the millenium, but most of the later records show them in France.

There is a "cousins" reunion held at three year intervals in Hoste, France. I believe the next one is in 2012.

SandraFergus11 — 2011-10-09 11:48:30Z

Excited to see this message. My Jacques history starts with Solomon Jacques in Union/Townes County Geogia. He was born about 1795, married twice, had a son also called Solomon. Second wife Martha mother of my great grandmother Martha Hannah married to Floyd Collier and ended up in Cherokee County NC. Other than one census record showing Solomon and Martha in Georgia (he as an old man) I can't find more about him.

Bonjour Viviane, Non, le patronyme JACQUES n'est pas obligatoirement juif. C'est mon nom de famille et nous sommes situés dans le nord-est de la France. Bien souvent cela venait d'un ancêtre qui avait fait le pélérinage de Saint Jacques de Compostelle. Donc des catholiques.

Having another older child would make sense since Hannah & Thomas were married 5 Nov 1804 and the first child I have for them is John born 1 Feb 1808/bpt 7 Feb 1808. I would love to know about William. I have some more info further back on Hannah's family but not Thomas'. I would be more than glad to share. Why don't you email me directly at patzipf@verizon.net

Re: Jacques Family of Leicester - 1800's and earlier

majnoon64 — 2011-08-08 14:29:00Z

Yes, I think I have a connection to this family. Thomas and Hannah Jacques would be my 4 x grandparents too. Mary also had an older brother I believe, William Jacques born 1805, he was christened at a different church so he doesn't show with the other baptisms. I will have to recheck my records to be sure but all the names and dates of siblings match the information that i have.

Re: Is the Family name Jacques a jewish name?

Holland1901 — 2011-07-31 19:38:26Z

I would say the name is French not Jewish. Jacques or Jaques as a surname was in usage in English parish records in the 1500s. It could predate the French Huguenots remember that England in the middle ages was an Anglo-French country ruled by the French speaking Normans.
