I received your information from the Board and have just spoken to a cousin who was a Napoleon (grand daughter of JJ Napoleon) and she asked if I would send her email address to you as she can't work out who you are. Her name is Pauline Connors and I would be very pleased to give you her email address if you would like to contact me at sue.hunt@xtra.co.nz Look forward to hearing from you when you get a moment. regards Sue

So interested to receive your note about your connection to JJ Napoleon. I live in Christchurch, NZ, and my mother was one of his many grandchildren. I have, thanks to Ancestry, discovered relatives in the North of England one of whom I keep in regular contact. I have seen where JJ and his large family lived in Preston and met many distant cousins. I have been told about Ryan Napoleon who swims for Australia so no doubt he is a close relative of yours? It seems that one of my mothers uncles was a great swimmer and taught everyone in Preston to swim!! Look forward to hearing from you when you get a moment. regards Sue

Elizabeth Nuuanu Napoleon Rodrigues

kukala1aloha — 2008-05-28 03:58:06Z

I am searching for information regarding my great-grandmother, Elizabeth Nuuanu Napoleon Rodrigues. According to her death certificate she was born on Maui(Wailuku)and her maiden name is listed as Napoleon. She was married to Simon Rodrigues (whose family lived in Kalihi Valley, Oahu). According to my grandmother she had eight children with Simon; Theodore, Frank, Christopher, Bertram, Augustine, Eddie, Christina, and Margaret. My grandmother is Christina. Elizabeth and Simon also had hanai children, Walter Pua and Virginia Kalama. When I was 12 years-old my grandmother told me a story about her mother but no one in my family can actually say if it was true or not. It seems that my grandmother believed her mother was not born on Maui but in Tahiti and she may have been hanai by a family on Maui. No one can be sure if her hanai name is Napoleon or Kaahu. On my grandmother's marriage certificate she has listed her mother's maiden name listed as Elizabeth Kaahu. I have searched on Maui and Oahu for a possible marriage certificate for Simon and Elizabeth Rodrigues but to no avail. I will write a similar message under K for Kaahu in case someone may have information of my great-grandmother under that name. If anyone has information regarding my great-grandmother, I would appreciate your help. Mahalo.

Napoleons Born in Ireland early 19th Century

sueHunt30 — 2007-08-11 07:54:04Z

I am trying to trace my great grandfather's birth and birthplace. I know that he was born somewhere in Ireland (can't find any traces) in about 1839 and moved to England in the late 1870's where he married a Sarah Parker. He died in Lancashire, England, in 1901. He described himself as a horse breaker on his marriage cert. I imagine that he came from a large family and I know that many Napoleons migrated to Chicago from the 1870's to the 1920's so I am just hoping that an American contact may know of a link through their family to him.

Please contact me at lichfield.hold@xtra.co.nz if you think you have any info that may help me.

Louis Napoleon family

kaserjenn75 — 2007-04-19 23:43:06Z

I am looking for more information on Louis Napoleon and his family. According to census records he was born about 1857 in WA and died before the 1930 census probably in Kitsap Co, WA. He was married to a Mary b. 1856 in WA in the 1880 census and had a daughter Mary and a son Henry. The next time I find him in a census is the 1910 Kitsap Co. with wife Susie and a bunch more children including another Mary. His first wife Mary must have died before 1890 and Susie (Susan) may have died 23 Aug 1947. I have not found any cemetery record for any of the Napoleons to confirm that there were two wives or one going by two names. Any help would be great.

Re: -really?-

rayandsue173 — 2005-08-15 21:57:56Z

I was wondering if you could help me fill in some of my blanks. Word is my ancestor is Napoleon also. I am at a loss for the connection right now.although my ggrandfather Adron Rolland's father was Louis Boneparte Rolland whose father was (supposedly Louis Napoleon Bonepart? )Story has it they changed the name. I have a letter that Louis received a letter from lawyers from NY about palaces and inheritance and refused to acknowledge "those people" over there. He said he didn't want to know anymore about them and wanted nothing to do with them. My Louis was b. abt 1851 and d. 1924. I would like to find out something about his family.
I thought maybe if you could share some of your information , it may give me a lead to what I am looking for. Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

Napoleon Perkins

SC102468 — 2002-12-21 14:06:38Z

Hello again! I got my Mom to send you some info. She could probably copy pages from her family history book for you. It may be nice to have that at your family reunion. Apparently, Napoleon was very well liked according to my Mom. One thing she told me that she didn't write to you, was that after Elizabeth died (Betty) the family planted an apple tree and it was always referred to as "The Betty tree". Isaac WAS my GGG Grandfather and his son John was great lifelong friends with one of Napoleon's sons. I am anxious to read more on him the next time I am at my parents house. We do have some photos of John. It would be interesting to see if there are any pictures of Napoleon and his family. I read some of your other Posts and noticed that you mentioned some of your family members being fair skinned. Maybe WE actually are blood relatives! I hope all of this is helpful to you in your search for family history, and would be happy to help you in any way I can. Sincerely, Stephanie Coughlin

Napoleon Perkins

SC102468 — 2002-12-21 14:06:38Z

Marion, Your family history is very interesting! I have totally enjoyed reading your posts. My GG Grandfather was friends with Napoleon's brother Milt, your GG Grandfather or G Grandfather. I thought he was lifelong friends with one of his sons, but it was his brother. The picture that we have of John Garrett is a portrait of he and his wife. His Moustache is longer on one side.. Very strange.. He was a little man, but his wife looked to be a big woman, and not very attractive. She looked mean in the picture, but maybe that's because back then they never smiled in photographs. My Mom was really excited about the Garrett picture that you have. I asked her if we had any pictures of Napoleon or anyone in his family, but she doesn't think that we do. You certainly were right about the connection between our families being very interesting. I will definitely copy the pages and mail them to you as soon as I can. My Mom called her sister in Ohio and she is very excited about my internet findings and is going to see if she has anything else. She is very good at finding out about family history. When my Mom told her about you, my Aunt said she got chills up her spine. She loves to find someone new with new information! Thanks for writing back!!
Sincerely, Stephanie (I love your initials, by the way!! MVP= most valuable player)

Marion, All of the info you have gathered seems very exciting.. I think I know what you mean when you say "closer than we thought" I had heard a few things about John Garrett, Isaacs son.. Interesting things! Oh well, If you could send me your e-mail address, I'll send you a picture of my sister Melissa and I. I thought you may have sent it to me once, but all I have written down is, your address at home and your work number. Please send me your e-mail address, and I will send a picture!! Thanks, Stephanie P.S. I would really like to meet you as well!!!
