Palomba Family Name - Late 1800's

lkguar — 23 Dec 2001 6:36:05 GMT

Looking to communicate with anyone connected to the Palomba family living in Bone, Algeria in the late 1800's, and/or anyone connected to a DiGiacomo living there about the same time. I am quite certain the Palombas were French and are also connected to the family name DiRenzo.

Searching for the Garbine family from French Algeria

Hello,

I am looking for my mother's French relatives. My mother was born and adopted in the U.S. and we recently learned that her birthmother's name was Josette Crisafi (maiden name was Garbine). Josette was born in 1920 in Maillot, Algeria but was of French and Spanish descent. She supposedly had a brother named Andre and a mother named Josephine. My mother and I looking for any of Josette's siblings, nieces or nephews. If anyone has information about the Garbine family from Algeria or France, please contact me.

Cholet, Anton in Algeria/French North Africa

baadcop — 15 May 2006 9:23:03 GMT

Looking for a relative of my mother's. Her name is Gilberte Antoinette CHOLET b.04/14/1928 in Algieria, probably in Oran. All I know is her father was French and her mother was Spanish, He died in WWII, was a pilot, M.I.A., probably shot down in German territory. Her mother's name was Adele Blanche Lucie Ermine Anton Cholet, she died in Paris in 1966 or so. Gilberte has a cousin by her aunt Helen Anton Lecerf named Gerard whom I think lives in France. Gilberte emigrated to the U.S.A. in about 1948 to the Tacoma, WA area. Was married for about 7 years to a man named WOLD, Kenneth. I'm not really interested in him but maybe the name would ring a bell with someone.

John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich, Lands of Carlea

Sharron — 29 Jan 2005 4:19:49 GMT

John Dubh Mhor Stewart, natural son of James Berg Stewart, 2nd Laird of Ardvorlich, Perthshire Scotland: b/about 1635: d/about 1719. He was a soldier for the Marquess of Atholl and got from him a a beneficial tack of the Mill and the Lands of Carnlea (Carnlia) on the North Shore of Loch Earn. My gggGrandfather, Robert Stewart: b/about 1770 in Wester Ardveich: d/about 1830, was a decendant of John Stewart. He married Catharine McNaughtan 1774 and they had ten children: Robert died and Catharine came to Canada with the ten children in 1835. Some of these children were married and had children of there own. I feel that some decendants of John Dubh Mhor Stewart work at the Ardvorlich Estate, on the south shores of Loch Earn and some reside today in South West Perthshire. Any information on this Stewart/McNaughtan line would be appreciated.

Hello. I am the grandaughter of Marius Beroud who was born in 1884 in Zarouria, Algeria to Jean Beroud and Fanny Bisonson. This Beroud family were originally from Switzerland although maybe the family lines can be traced back to the Burgundy area of France. Grandpa had brothers and sisters of whom we know very little other than their names.
Grandpa came to Canada, met our grandmother and took up a homestead in northern Manitoba. I would like to exchange trees with other family members working on the Beroud/Bisonson family. Thanks. Sharon

CHEVRIER/BEFFEYTE

yvette — 21 Oct 2004 5:12:56 GMT

Both lived in Algiers until 1932 or so, when Pierre CHEVRIER died and Therese BEFFEYTE came to the US.

Pierre: b. 14 Dec 1961 Marzy, Dept Niese, France
Parents: Jean-Pierre CHEVRIER, Francoise DURAND

Therese: b. 13 Oct 1875 Cette, Herault, France
Parents: Marie-Alfred BEFFEYTE (1849-?), Marguerite COSTESECQUE (1849-?)

I would be interested in if it is possible to obtain records from their time in Algiers. Originally Pierre was in the French army (Zouaves) and apparently chose to stay in Algiers once he was out of the army.

Armand Prat, né à Relizane en Algérie

pprat — 29 Jan 2005 4:24:41 GMT

Je recherche désespérément tous renseignements ou documents sur mon père Armand Prat, né à Relizane en Algérie le 8 avril 1923. Mon père est ancien combattant de la deuxieme guerre mondiale.

Il est le fils de François Prat et de Joséphine Hatagnera et il a marié ma mère, Mathea Polidori, le 29 août 1945 à Moltifao en Corse. Je suis le seul fils né de cette union.

On m’a raconté diverses histoires contradictoires au sujet de son décès. Ma mère m’a dit que quelqu’un a dit à mon grand-père qu’il est mort à Lyon en 1947, mais qu’il a été enterré en Algérie.

Je veux savoir où et quand mon père est mort, où est il enterré, et si j’ai des parents sur le côté de mon père.

Si vous avez des informations, veuillez m’envoyer un courriel.

Je vous demande de m’excuser à l’avance de vous avoir dérangé et je vous remercie de toute information que vous pourrez me fournir.

Veuillez accepter l’expression de mes sentiments les plus distingués.

Algerian/Tunisian grandfather

t_bell117 — 29 Jan 2005 4:25:12 GMT

My grandfather supposedly ran away to sea when he was 12. We have even had problems identifying the name (which doesn't help!). From crew lists I've tracked down he has consistently signed his name as Ali Bell Mohomll.

From the Central Index Register of Seamen 1913-1941 I see that he states his place of birth was Sfax, Algeria. But Sfax is in Tunisia not Algeria! So which is it - is he Algerian or Tunisian?

Was there ever a time when it was all Algeria? Did the distinctions perhaps become blurred when they were both part of the French protectorate?

Any assistance/thoughts would be gratefully received.

Looking for any information on Cholet/Chollet/Cholette family in Oran during WWII. They lived on the cliff above the harbor and were probably fairly well off as they had servants.

MIA forever. Have heard he flew for Spain. My mother, Gilberte Antoinette Cholet had one cousin that she knows of, and they lived with her grandfather. Moonie died in France in the mid 1960's. Mother never heard from any other of her family ever after she emigrated in late 1940's and married a Kenneth Wold in Washington State. Anyone who has ANY information on this family, please let me know.
