So any help would be wonderful.<br> Thanks, Bree. 2003-05-28 04:05:24Z PCash9234 http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.frans/4/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.frans/4.5.6/mb.ashx My Grandfathers name was Henry, not Harry. I don't know if he had a bother or not, so mybe there is a relationship here. From what I know of his family back ground was Kentucy, and around that area. All I'm sure of is that, when he and my Grandmother were living and raising my mother, they lived in ILL. I don't even know where they were married. I can't find a SS# on him either. My Grandmother never had a job so I guess I'm out of luck there I have some Miltiary records, but not enough for information, I have looked untill I'm blurry eyed. LOL If you can halp at all I would be so greatful.<br> Bree 2003-05-28 04:05:24Z PCash9234 http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.frans/4.5.6/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.frans/4.5.6.7.8/mb.ashx Hi Tina.

I have been having trouble with this site. I have lost the link for my own access, so I have been kick off already a couple of times. I hope this time I can get this e-mail off to you before I get kicked off again. GRRRRRRRRR.<br> I am sending you my e-mail address because I don't think that it will go through from here.

It's also a first name. I know of at least two people who are named Frans Frans - how cruel parents can be! <br>I'm pretty sure that all you Frans-people originated here, in Flanders, Belgium. <br>My reasons for believing this ?<br>* It can't be a German name - then it would be Franz.<br>* The name is very rare in Holland.<br>* Frans in (Flemish=)Dutch also means: "French" - which could explain the original meaning of the name. 2001-04-12 14:27:17Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.frans/15/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.frans/18.265.262.261/mb.ashx Bynum, How nice to forward this to me and how very, very nice it is of you to mention my book.

His wife, Sarah Elting and daughter-in-law, Catherine DuBois both have well documented ancestry; their ancestors and descendants resided in Ulster County, New York and vicinity for many years, but nothing for John France's ancestors. Have you come across "my" John France? I assume that "my" John (Johannes) has roots in France/Germany/Netherlands,the same as the women married to the France men. However, I'd be very interested to know the origins of YOUR France.

My brother is William. Other given names in addition to France wives surnames as middle names (DuBois, Deyo,LeFevre,Freer,Elting,DePuy,Bruyn,Aldrich,etc.) were George,Herman,Oliver,Devine,Joy,Maria,Henry,Andrew,Clarence,etc. Where did YOUR first in America France/Frans come from (France,Germany,Netherlands,or?) I have corresponded with several other NY France researchers that appear to be different lines and counties from mine.

Their son Johannes, Peter, Jozef, born at Potsdam about 1756, an armourer, arrived together with his parents at Mechelen, Belgium, about 1780.
