Re: Any Etienne Huguenot Ancestry

russlynnetienne — 2013-01-29 21:05:42Z

Hello Turningstones,
Thanks for getting in touch.
I may be related to Phillipe Etienne since my Quebec Etienne ancestors were Huguenots also. I have not made that connection yet with Phillipe. My 8th great grandfather was Jacques Gratiot of Trois Rivieres. He was born in 1627 in that town.
We have a connection with Jacques Gratiot and by extension to his father Leonard and his mother Laurenche Bisson who were born in 1600 and 1610 in France respectively.
I have not made the connection with Jean Godefroy and Marie LeNeuf yet.
May I have a look at your tree for the Gratiot, Godefroy, LeNeuf and Etienne connections?
I am very interested in exploring this further.
Again, thanks so much.
Russell Etienne

Re: Any Etienne Huguenot Ancestry

turningstones — 2013-01-29 15:57:47Z

Are your Etiennes any relation to Philippe Etienne who lived in a little Huguenot enclave in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec in the late 1600s? (Other Huguenots living there at the time include the family of Jean Godefroy and Marie LeNeuf and the family of Jacques Gratiot.)

joanneainger2009 — 2013-01-22 22:05:06Z

hey
i think that you and my partner are the same family? His grandmother was Idris Etienne and he is also related to the Jno Lewis and Henderson families.

i also went to Uni and our professor was Dr Justina Hendersona and I understand that she is also related?

The reason i signed up is that my partner has heard that his great great grandmother was Syrian and he would like to find out about this? Cheers.
BTW although hjis mum was an Etienne from Dominica, his Dad is a Thomas.

Re: ETIENNE / AKINS

CAkins77 — 2012-10-13 16:27:01Z

The change of name, Etienne to Akins, took place sometime near the end of the 1800's. There was no documentation and it was not recorded in the court system. Best I can tell they all changed at the same time but I have not found a reason for the change. There was a time that being French was not a good thing and even though they were Swiss they had a French name and spoke French. Might like to check my tree for more information or contact me, clemakins@gmail.com.

Re: Etienne, France to Dominica

It would be interesting to see if we are family as I am finding it hard to make any connections on this...I have looked into the issues with docs for Dominica but I am yet to hear back from the person..

please look at my family tree and see if there is any connection. My dad had 9 brothers and 3 sisters and they had many children in and out of marriage so it is all possible. My grandfather's name was Cookman well that is what he was known as.

Wel my grandfather passed on a few months ago but I remeber him telling me that we are all decendants of two brothers chaildren. I am of the 4th generation and so I have met many of our cousins and other relative. Surprisingly even while I am in the Service in the US. Treva's dad and my grandad are first cousins, Antoine and the clan from massacre are the same category. I am from Soufreiere myself but now residing in the US. Well I hope every one is doing well but it would be really good to get that family tree going.

Hello my name is michael Etienne and have little idea about the Etienne family history and would love to know more if anyone has any information. My father is Joesph Etienne and my grandad is Michael Etienne. My dad has two brothers with the Etienne name, Andy Etienne and Treva Etienne plus loads of step brothers as my nan and grandad had seperated and had more children. I would love to get in touch with other relatives or people who know any more relatives within my family. This would be greatly appreciated. Lastly the one thing i do know that our family was part of the slave trade and were brought to dominica by the French and were given a last name in French. This makes it more difficult to track our family history but i am aware we could be originally from Ghana

Thanks :)

Re: Etienne, France to Dominica

maetienne — 2010-08-25 17:17:44Z

Well I am from Soufriere, DOminica and I am an Etienne, from what I was told from greats is that the Etienne'e were two brother children who came to Dominica from Frace, one went to Delice and the other went to Soufriere, and hence expanded. I can ask my Dad if he knew about any Delsols who are related. some of the Etienne and the Henderson's from Grandbay are related, not all of them and I am sure that happened through marriages. we just foun out that there are some etienne's in Penville. met some of them and it went right back to a first cousins of my grandfather. I am in the service in the US and I met a guy from Louisanna who is an Etienne and he insists that his father was from Dominica so I am sure we are related somehow.

good luck.

Plaquemines Parish, LA Etienne Family

leeksoul1 — 2010-04-14 04:21:58Z

Hello. My name is Shana and I am doing research on my family tree. I am looking for information on the Plaquemines Parish Etienne family and the Thompson family.

So far I have a bit of info on my great great grandparents Willis Etienne and Mary Thompson Etienne. Their children were Willie Jr., Jonas, Seagle, Felix, Fred, Susan Etienne Makey, Isabelle Etienne Griffin, Eliza Etienne Miller, Mildred Etienne Cosse, Estelle, Victoria, and Newella.

Willis was born in Point A La Hache, LA around 1872 and died in Phoenix, LA in 1926. I believe his parents were Susan Ettienne and M. Ettienne (Marcellin?).

Mary Thompson and her people are somewhat of a mystery to me. I am not sure when she was born, but I believe she died in Phoenix, LA in 1928.

Any info regarding the Etienne and Thompson families would be much appreciated.

Re: Etienne Family Website

JaneMoore1 — 2010-03-10 20:15:41Z

Hi Don,

It is certainly possible that my Etiennes and yours are realted way back when in the Alsace-Lorraine / Belgium / Luxembourg area. I don't have my Etiennes back that far, so I cannot say. All that I have on the Etienne branch of my Ehardt family begins with the marriage of Helen Orth to Dominik Etienne ca. 1925, perhaps in Klein-Beregsau (today Beregsau Mic, Romania). Helen was the granddaughter of Dominik Ehardt, and Dominik is the ancestor that I have in common with the Etiennes.

My Ehardts, by the way, migrated to the Romanian area in 1769 when the Hapsburg Empire was settling southern Hungary. So just maybe some of your Etiennes also migrated to the Romanian area about that time, while other Etiennes (the ones you are descended from) chose to stay put.

Sorry I don't have more news for you.

Hello Jane,
My Etienne family tree does not have your Dominik Etienne nor Helene Orth nor Josef Etienne on it so I don't have any proof that we are related. I have traced my Etienne ancestors back to the 1600s in France. They were Huguenots.
Hope this helps you in your search and good luck.

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.

Re: Etienne, France to Dominica

AriaBella — 2009-08-05 21:21:34Z

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.

Re: Etienne, France to Dominica

delfunK1 — 2009-08-05 02:31:23Z

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.

Re: Etienne, France to Dominica

AriaBella — 2009-08-04 05:19:59Z

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.

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.
