Possible name change?

suzannevermette — 27 Feb 2008 11:54:57 GMT

This sometimes happands as I'm sure you know, dit names are often the cause of this as is the fact that people at least early on aren't always literate, etc.

I'm having a hard time tracing my Barre line. See my last post. I found a record of a man named Antoine Lefevbre de la Barre and wondered if their was a conection.

Has anyone found a time, etc when the Lefevbre named changed to Barre?

Thanks

Barre, German-Franch

LaVonne Ayres — 5 Jan 2005 1:59:45 GMT

I do not yet have any southern BARRE connections. Seems like they are pronounced like BAR and may be more French. Ours is pronounced like BEAR, and some generations ago was spelled BARE. Mine are from the German-French border region, but I think were most likely German. (Although Germany as a country did not exist then). Some did migrate out west during the gold rush, and I am not sure I have accounted for all 3 brothers yet though. One of which I think was John so there's a slight possibility. ( I have at probably 4 named John, a couple close in age.) Thanks for replying, and keep me in mind if something comes up again.

Isaac Barre ~ 1762-1802

BasketLady420 — 27 Sep 2004 3:47:43 GMT

Barre, Isaac. 1762-1802. British statesman, officer, b. Dublin, Ireland.
Member of Parliament, 1761-1790; vehement champion of the Americans and exceedingly unpopular with George III; coined the expression "sons of liberty," which the American partiots later adopted; the city of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was named after him, along with John Wilkes.

I am not related to this person, I am just passing on this information, which comes from a book titled "People & Events of the American Revolution" by Dupuy/Hammerman. R.R. Bowker Company, 1974. pg.287

Frances Theresa (maiden: Barre-) Irmischer

paulamrazek — 28 Jan 2003 5:38:34 GMT

I am pretty overwhelmed, not having much info on my grandmother's family. She's deceased, and her mother and father raised her and her sister in Chicago, Illinois. She married Paul Hugo Irmischer and they began a lamp manufacturing company called "A & P Irmischer", a Chicago-based manufacturer.

Can anybody more experienced in the geneology thing give me ideas how and where to begin tracing her heritage? It seems really difficult to do with female ancestors.

Thanks! My email is paulamrazek@yahoo.com

Isaac Barre/Richard Barre 18th c; Barre MA, VT, PA

donnaken1 — 28 Mar 2003 1:47:42 GMT

Hello all,
I've done a little surfing lately and discovered that Barre, MA; Barre, VT; and Wilkes-Barre, PA were named after Col. Isaac Barre. Isaac was of Irish descent, and was a fairly high ranking officer in the British military during the French and Indian War. He was with Gen. Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham. Subsequently he became a member of Parliament, and became famous for coining the term "Sons of Liberty" when he sided with the colonists in the debate in the British Parliament over 'taxation without representation' prior to the start of the Am. Revolution. See:

http://www.famousamericans.net/isaacbarre/

Does anyone have any more information, especialy ancestral info on Isaac? I am curious because Richard Barre(Barry) from whom several of us are descended was also of Irish descent, was born around the same time as, and came to Canada around the same time as Isaac. I am trying to obtain information to determine if they were related. (Or, at least, to determine if Richard came to Canada as part of the military.)

Thanks/Merci to all,
Donna Barré

Barrs and Barre Surnames

Al Barrs — 8 Apr 2005 9:45:00 GMT

Does anyone have information on the following:

I have been told by genealogist in England that Barrs is the English translation for the French Barre and that the Barre first came to England from France in 1172 to fight the Irish and for one reason or another never got back to France. Apparently they migrated to England and Scotland. There is a bay between Irland and Lanchashire named Barrs Bay. I have traced Barrs to Warwick, Worstershire, London and to America in 1768.

I have located the town of Barre in France. I have found many Barre in France even today.

Does anyone have any history on this line back to 1000's forward?

Thanks,

Al Barrs
