John,
Thank you for the response. I don't understand, however, the connection between Joseph GIROS in the subject line and the Castilian C. TRABUE in the body of the text.
I have found that my GIROS people were indeed from what is now Alsace -- it was very close to Frahier where my DeLoye ancestors resided. These people were all Catholic rather than Huguenot. I did have some Huguenot ancestors from near the Belgian border who settled in New York in the 1650s, and it is an interesting history.
Thank you for letting me know there were other GIROS out there in France.
