Hi, I am a direct decesendent of Crookman Etienne (my great grandfather). It was my cousin that place the original posting on this site.

I live in England where there is a large contingent of the Etienne family. I am currently making a family tree and would love to know if we are related and if so how you would fit into the tree.

I see. I was under the impression that there is a family link between the Etienne family and the Delsol family. I suppose that there still could be as the blood lines in Dominica are a bit complicated.

I believe that I am related to some people in Soufriere with the last name Jno Lewis also. It is also my understanding that I am some how related to the Etienne family. My grandfather was Joseph Etienne Henderson of Grandbay.

Do you know if either the Delsol family or the Etienne family have Carib blood? I have always been curious. I do know that many people deny it, but it is always possible due to the history of the island.

Good luck on your search and please let us know what you find out. Take care.

I found out that i had a great grand Auntie that her name was Rebecca and she was married to a Lance Delsol. My father took the last name of his uncle and used it as my first name. Yes my family lived in Soufrière, Dominica and i still haev relatives there as well. But I believe there is more still out there.

Hi there Delfunk1!

I hope that all is well. Do you by any chance know what town your family is from? That would certainly help. The Delsols in my family are from Scottshead, Dominica.

It is too bad that Joan Etienne has yet to reply. I really think that she can help both of us in our quest/search. Joan's grandfather could be your uncle (I think).

Do you know anything about your roots in Dominica? Do you know anything about the Delsol/Etienne name?

I am still searching myself. I hope to be able to go to Dominica in the future. I have been told that Baptismal certificates and wills hold tremendous information.

Anyway, nice meeting you and good luck.

My name is Delsol Etienne, named after one of my uncle from the Island of Dominica I now reside in Melbourne, Fl. I have three older brothers and two younger siblings as well. I am now looking for history of my name and my family ancestry from the island.

Re: Etienne, France to Dominica

delfunK1 — 2009-08-02 02:15:53Z

I have a question. My name is Delsol Etienne, I spoke to my mom and she stated that I was named after one of my uncles. I know that my family is from Dominica as well. I have so many questions for the person who posted this.

Joseph Etienne Henderson of Dominica

AriaBella — 2009-07-18 20:08:48Z

I was wondering if anyone has any information on the possible familial relationship between the Etienne family of Dominica and the Henderson family of Dominica.

My grandfather was Joseph Etienne Henderson of Grandbay Dominica. I suspect that he is somehow related to the Etienne family.

Any information that you have would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Etienne, France to Dominica

AriaBella — 2009-06-30 20:54:52Z

Joan Etienne: You say that your maternal grandfather was named Delsol Etienne. Were the Delsols and the Etiennes related?

MDBains — 2009-03-05 20:50:31Z

I know a little but from what I have read, two french brothers arrived in Louisiana and married into the Houma Indian tribe there. Etienne was my great, or great great grandfather, he was Etienne Billiot. His wife was Sedonia Billiot. This information is just from talking with several of my relatives that in the last 20 years I have just met. My mother was a billiot. She had 12 brothers and sisters.

Re: Any Etienne Huguenot Ancestry

russlynnetienne — 2008-11-18 03:39:19Z

My Etienne Family is of Huguenot ancestry from France and I would like to hear from others who maybe related.
My Etienne ancestors, Jean Etienne and Pierrette Lisonette, arrived from Montauban, France, at Quebec about 1750.
I have traced their descendents and now want to research their ancestors and siblings.
Can anybody help? Would you be interested in what information I may have?

Re: Etienne & Cager, LA

gtclee03 — 2008-05-19 18:22:36Z

In response to your message...I believe Virginia last name was either Willis or Williams. She married Charles C. Cager. I believe she was born in Red River, Louisiana. Virginia's mother was named Mariah James-Anderson. Her fathers name is still questionable....B. Williams is what I have heard. Virginia had two known siblings, Leonard Smith and Ada. Leonard Smith, Sr. married Isabelle Cook (daughter of Dicy Morris and James Cook). Isabelle Cook-Smith is my Great great great Aunt. Leonard Smith, Sr. is believed to be one of the founding pastors of Battle Ground Baptist Church (originally organized in Fazendeville “The Village”). Ada had two girls as far as my knowledge…..named Louisa and Cinderella Scott. I’m told, Ada died giving birth to Louisa in the 1880’s. Louisa Scott married my great great great uncle…Bazile Jolicoeur (son of Alexandre & Catherine Clarke-Jolicoeur). Cinderella Scott married Arstide Charles. If you have any questions about the information I have provided…..feel free to contact me anytime. My email is gtclee03@yahoo.com.....and my Cell number is 206 778 6957….my name is Gabriel. I live in Washington State.

Re: Etienne Family Website

ivycin1 — 2008-04-05 08:47:16Z

Just beginning to research the Etienne name....my great-grandmother was Mary Etienne from Belgium. She married Johann or John Umhauer (from Germany)and they lived in Minnesota. Any info would be appreciated.

Etienne/ Arkush/ Manley

wacky124d — 2008-03-12 18:50:09Z

I am trying to locate descendants of the ARKUSH and MANLEY families who might be able to help me. In the Norwich NY library, I found an older photocopy of a fading family bible record. One line follows:

Herbert Hovey MANLEY b. 1857 in MN, who ended up in Chicago then San Gabriel.

His daughter Dorette MANLEY b. 1889 married Ellis John ARKUSH. They lived in Redwood City, Hillsborough, and Burlingame.

They had Ellis John ARKUSH Jr. b.1914 and Carol Doris ARKUSH b.1915.

Ellis John ARKUSH Jr. married Laura Pearson and had daughter Sharon.

Carol Doris ARKUSH married Robert ETIENNE and had children Robert Jr, Dorelle, and John Roger.

The reason I'm trying to track this line is that the bible record was contributed by a Helen Nicol Tanois(?) of Burbank. I have written to the address given and have not received either an answer or returned letter. The name and address are handwritten and a little hard to decipher. There are parts of this bible record that are just unreadable, and I would love to track down whoever might own the bible to see if the bible record could be re-scanned with today's modern tech. This California line is not directly related to me, but the line from an ancestor is. Grateful for any clues!

Etienne, Bouvange (Wolkerange), Messancy, Luxembourg, Belgium

blandfords — 2007-09-09 01:45:58Z

I have Jean Pierre Etienne born 1872 in Buvange, Belgium, married Catherine Hebeler in Belgium. Jean was the son of Pierre Etienne born 1828 in Hondelange, Belgium and Elisabeth Decker. Pierre may have married a second time to Marie Richard. Jean and Catherine immigrated to Chicago, Illinois early 1900's.

Dear Les

Thank you for your email. There is a Rootsweb Message board for the surname EIGHTEEN itself and an embronic Rootsweb mailing list too. I have been researching the family name as a one-name study for just over two years now, as it was my maternal grandmother's maiden name. I too descend from John Cook EIGHTEEN and his wife Sarah NORFORD. Would love to hear more from you. You can contact me at eighteen@one-name.org or using my email address given if you click on the author details. I also do a newsletter for researchers of the name EIGHTEEN, but that too is new.

Love and best wishes

Hi Julie I never knew there was so much interest in my Family name.

Well looking at the message boards, I see so many things that my Late father Told me as a child, My Father was Roanld James Eighteen, Son Of Charles who was son Of John who went to Reading in the Mid Late 1800's

I was also told that it is thought the Family Originates from France and ettenne was one thing that was expected to be the Name as a frenchman will always introduce themself by his family name first then there Christian name and this was thought to be why the family name was changed from ettienne to Eighteen.

John Senior Set up a fish and Horse Buisness, and the Eighteen Family were Know as the Fish Family of Reading until 1992 when my Fathers Business stopped tradeing after his Death, If you Mail me back, In The mean time I will Try to Contact a Cousin of Mine who I Know has done a lot of reasearch about where and when and a family Tree.
