My mother just celebrated here 99th birthday Aug 30...
She is from Brusly. Her Father was Jon Danos? Doiron(spelling). There are also some Dorion's from Brusly here in the Slidell Area.. He said his father changed the spelling of the name so it would not sound French after WW2 because a lot of people disliked the French.. He said his grandfather (he is about 60+) was also named Jon Danos?
I was one of those that I could speak English & French when I started school. The teachers in kindergarten told us that only trash spoke French.. I told my mother & father and they never spoke French in the house again.
Now I cannot speak or understand a word of french...
Do not know any of the names you mentioned.. I will try to remember to ask my mother next week but she gets a little fuzzy sometimes.. (I am starting to relate)..
