Re: ENZ-ENS-anZ - BAGANZ - Possible Name Change
Two possible options that I'm aware of:
1. One BAGANZ contact of years agso told me her family claimed to have been conservative Heugonots who departed France to Berlin (where statistically the majority of BAGANZ families are even today) just before the Paris Bartholomew massacre of 1758. She believed the name was spelled "de Bagance."
2. My grandfather told us the name had been changed but he said it was from the Braganza family of Portugal.
Anyone have more insight into this? Thanks.
