Can check surnames in Recouvrance-Brest (Brittany) Acte De Naissance Records Index - [1863-1866] & [1855- 1858]

KayFakhar — 20 Aug 2008 5:24:00 GMT

I have copies of (nearly) complete Acte De Naissance record indexes for the above years if anyone would like me to attempt to check a surname.
It's in old French handwriting, but most names can be determined since it is alphabetical. Some months/days are available, others are not. The indexes do not include the parent names.

Signed: Kerros (officiate of registry office), Françoise CHAUVIN, LeCLERC fils, LeCLERC, CALVES, TIELIN, LeVOYER

Birth record:
Acte de Naissance
Joseph Marie LeClerc. The date on the seal was 1816, though it may not be significant. Parent names were Michel LeClerc and Jeanne Francoise Chauvin. (These are the names listed in the above Marriage Record.)
It is signed by Lepage, Chauvin and LeClerc.

Perhaps Michel LeClerc and Jeanne Francoise Chauvin are the 'grand'parents of Pierre Charles LeClerc.
[Pierre Charles LeClerc's father was Joseph Marie LeClerc.]

-----
There was another Brest-Recouvrance record, but the surname is not spelled exactly the same. I don’t know if these are two different surnames, or two variations of the same surname.
19 December 1816
Birth of JEAN FRANCOIS LeCLERCQ
Son of FRANCOIS-JOSEPH LeCLERCQ, Shoemaker in Brest, and MARIE ANNE SCHUMACHER, his wife, married in Brest-Recouvrance.
Witnesses: JEAN SPRINGLER, Carpenter in Brest, parent of the child**; JEAN-CLAUDE MANGIN, prison-guard in the penal colony of Brest.
**[The description 'parent' of the child does not make sense because FRANCOIS-JOSEPH LeCLERCQ & MARIE ANNE SCHUMACHER were listed as parents.]

Thank you very much for any help!

RE: Hypolite Laurent

Hello,
I've recently discovered I have a Hypolite Lorinse (Laurent) in my tree. He was born in 1805 in France and later immigrated to St. Martinville, St.Martin, Louisiana. He may be related to a SO B. Laurant and David Delaureal (Guadaloupe). I'm still trying to figure out if there is a connection to theses people as they all live near each other and have the variation in the Lawrence spelling in their last name. Does anyone have any information about these people?

Recherche date de naissance, Kerpert, Bretagne

j'ai un petit problème,

J'ai reçu des actes de naissance . Ce sont les actes de naissance des enfants de mon arriere grand-mère MARIE-GUILLAUME LE LAY.

Il se trouve que sur ces actes MARIE-GUILLAUME LELAY serait né en 1818 ou 1819 et moi, la date que j'avais déjà était 1814. Donc j'aurais besoin de savoir la date exacte de sa naissance mais je n'ai pas son acte de mariage.

Elle serait marié entre 1855 et 1858 avec Louis Sérandour à Kerpert(22).

Il se peut que son prénom apparaisse comme MARIE-GUILLEMET.

Y a t-il quelqu'un qui puisse m'aider?

I am looking for people by the surname Laurent that originally had family in St. Malo, France. My GG grandfather came to the US from St. Malo working as a Rigger on a boat. We were always lead to believe that he had many sisters and brothers that he left behind. He was born July 1808 in St. Malo. As the story goes he left home because his father did not agree to help him further his interest in becoming an artist as a career.
Any help anyone can give me will be much appreciated!

He immigrated to America in 1881 or 1887 (the last number is difficult to read). He received his citizenship in Jefferson County, MO in 1892.

I intend to visit this area in a few months, but hope to obtain a few leads before I travel.

Senet, Chenet, Senette Family

JanaMcDougalRooke — 9 Feb 2007 2:59:01 GMT

Trying to find information about the Senet, Chenet, Senette Family, possibly in Bretagne. Our ancestors came to Louisiana in the early 1700s. I will give some of the information I have, some is just questionable. We have Bordeaux in some of the documents, but still not sure if this is correct. We have found Chenet/Senet families in Bretagne.

Jean Louis Senet was married in France to Olive Berger and had minor children in France when, on September 27, 1729, he was drowned. In LOUISIANA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY, Vol. 4, "October 8, 1729, Attorney General Fleuriau reports the drowning of Sieur Jean Louis Senet, while on his way to his plantation by dug-out on September 27, 1729. There being a widow in France and surviving minor children, a guardian should be appointed." The tutor appointed was Daniel Rafleau. (same reference).
Jean Baptiste Senet I was the son of deceased Jean Louis Senet. We find his marriage contract to Marie Salmon in LOUISIANA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY, Vol. 5, page 275, "October 14, 1735, Marriage contract between Jean Baptiste Senet and Marie Salmon. (The brides's parents were from Chafou on the Swiss border).
Later in LOUISIANA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY, Vol. 14, page 141, we find: "Marriage contract, dated February 1756, between Jean Baptiste Senet, Jr. son of deceased Jean Baptiste Senet and Marie Salmon, also deceased, a native of New Orleans, minor emancipated; and Mary Josephine Dauphin, daughter of Jean Joseph Dauphin and Marie Anne Meunier. Relatives for groom: Daniel Rafleau (his step grandfather), and his uncle and curator, Louis Drouet. Witnesses for the bride: Her mother, Marie Anne Meunier Dauphin; her brother-in-law, Adam Verdun; Jean Monget Latime, her special tutor." Jean Baptiste Senet (called Alexandre Chenet) and his wife Marie Josephine Dauphin Senet had six children, the third of whom was Victoria, who was our forebear.
In LOUISIANA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY, Vol. 14, page 141, we find the death and succession of Alexandre Chenet (Jean Baptiste Senet): Novmber 27,1779; Succession of Alexandre Chenet, Alcalde de Verges gives official notice of the death of Alexandre Senet, stating that he leaves minor children. His widow, is Marie Josephe Dauphin. The will found in Andre Almonester's archives is ______. He states in his will that he is named Jean Baptiste Senet, son of Jean Baptiste Senet and Marie Josephe Salmon born in the ville de Alresta in the Kingdom of France, that about twenty years ago he married Marie Josephe Dauphin, by whom he had six children: Rosa, aged 14, Jean Baptiste, aged 12; Victoria, aged 10, Honorata, aged 8; Eugene, aged 6; and Julia, aged 2. Their marriage contract before Chante_, Notary, stipulated what each one should bring to the community. He had a plantation eleven arpents fr___ by _____ _______dec., two leagues from the city on the other side __ ______ river, adjoined on one side by Jean Baptiste _______ and on the other side by Jacques Dauphin, with ____ slaves. He names his wife tutrix and curat ____ and names his six children his sole heirs."
Victoria Senet, or Chenet, was born about 1768. She married Jean Louis Drouet, as we have said and bore him four children. She died December __, ____. Her third child, Edmond Paul Drouet, is our ______ ______.

There are many French and Spanish documents relating to our family in the Notarial Archives. I (John) have also found some enticing information which may explain why the Senettes came to Louisiana. A certain "Sieur Senet" was the first Captain of the Port of New Orleans, working for the French East India Company. This person was praised by a colonial governor in a letter which I found. But in another was fired for stealing stores from the company! Unfortunately, I cannot fiind the man's first name anywhere.

JEAN BAPTISTE SENET, son of the deceased JEAN LOUIS SENET ant of Dame
(blank) OLIVE, a native of Bordeaux.
with
MARIE SALMIN AMANNE, minor daughter of the deceased JACQUES AMANN and of

I have searched the Archives Finistere and the Mayor's office in Berrien but have not previously heard of this son. Please help me identify him!

FAMILLE DESSOMMES À NANTES

Luis DESSOMMES — 10 Jun 2005 10:59:17 GMT

Bonjour à tous,

Je m’appelle Luis DESSOMMES et je habite à Monterrey, au Mexique. Je cherche plus d’information concernant Philippe DESSOMMES, originaire de Nantes en France, marié avec Marie GIQUIAU. Je pense que Philippe est né à peu près en 1775.

Philippe et Marie ont eu un enfant: Honoré DESSOMMES né à Nantes à peu près en 1798.

Après d’avoir habité à La Havane, à Cuba, Philippe et sa famille sont arrivés à Philadelphie aux États-Unis en 1809 et ils habitaient à New York entre 1810 et 1820. Philippe luttait dans la guerre de 1812 contre les anglaises. La battaille a eu lieu à La Nouvelle-Orléans.

Honoré, fils de Philippe, s’est marié avec Louise SÉJOURNÉ à peu près en 1818, on ne connais pas la place du mariage, mais le premier enfant à eux est né à New York:

1. Philippe-Auguste, né en 1819.

Entre 1820 et 1821 la famille returne à La Havane, à Cuba, où le reste des enfants de Honoré et Louise sont nés:

2. Teresa-Clara, née le 7 janvier 1822
3. Eduardo-Adolfo, né en 1823
4. Honoré, né en 1826 (mon arrière-arrière-grand-père)
5. Marie Louise, née le 16 août 1829
6. Luis, né le 22 décembre 1832
7. Eugenia-Isabela, née le 28 septembre 1834
8. Matilde, née en 1838.

Je voudrais connaître l’origine de mes ancêtres DESSOMMES à Nantes. Quelqu’un peut m’aider?

Merci beaucoup
Luis DESSOMMES

Georges Cadoret immigrated from Bretagne to Quebec, around the 1640s, in the first group of colonists there. His father was Pierre Cadoret. However, I cannot find anything on Pierre - and would like any information anyone may think could help me in my search. I have access to French-Canadian records, if I can be of mutual assistance to your family search. Thank you.

Aufray Coulon dit Mabrian, Bretagne

Marcel Victor Prefontaine — 14 Mar 2006 10:26:30 GMT

Am looking for info on the acendancy of one of my ancestors: Aufray (Auffray) COULON dit Mabrian

He was born around 1640 in Saintes, France (near Nantes) to Jean Coulon & Marie Pibelin. Aufray arrived in New France in 1665 as a French soldier in the Regiment de Carignan-Salieres; Mabrian was his military name, the origin of which I have no info on. After the end of his military service in 1668, Aufray decided to remain in New France and settled in the Sorel area of Quebec.

He married Francoise Tierce in Quebec City on Oct 13, 1671. She was a Fille Du Roy baptised at Saint-Sulpice in Paris, France in 1656, daughter of Guillaume Tierce & Catherine Toue.

Aufray died young and had only two childeren:
A daughter, Marie Jacqueline Coulon dit (spouse: Mery Emery Herpin/Arpin dit Poitevin),from whom I descend

A son, Rene Coulon dit Mabrian (spouse Genevieve Vanier) who had a very large family with many sons who may have continued the family name of Coulon or possibly Mabrian.

His wife, widowed with two young children, remairried on May 2, 1677; her seocnd husband was Pierre Guignard (Guinet) dit d'Olonne with whom she had six more children.

Also, I came across info on the net linking the title Sieur de Villiers to the family name Coulon. I have also seen this title attributed to Auffray Coulon dit Mabrian but do not know if this attribution is factual, speculative or simply the result of error or wishful thinking on the part of certian researchers.

Any additional info would be appreciated?

Thanks.

P.S. also speak & write French.
