Several years ago (maybe 5-6), I did trnaslations of booklets and a series of newspaper articles from Chartres on General Marceau for a Mrs. Marceau who lived in the Lafayette area. The newspaper articles had been sent to her from Chartres, and some family members on trips to France had picked up other papers. General Marceau and his holidays are a big thing in Chartres. I recall that I had returned to Mrs. Marceau the papers, however, I had kept a computer word processing file of my translations. I recall she had been referred to me after inquries to the Terrebonne society. Of course, I had a crash since then. I have looked on my hard drive/other computers without finding, and now think I recall having deleted it 2-3 years ago. As I remember it, and admittedly my memory is going, her husband was a descendant of a brother/nephew of General Marceau who came to Louisiana. Maybe it can be dug up in a past Terrebonne periodical. My recommendation would be to look up Marceaux in the Southwest LA phone directories. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanley LeBlanc" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 9:44 AM Subject: RE: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Re: France needs help finding descendants of "Marceau or Marceaux Family > I've spoken to Ms. Morgan and sent her an email with information on > Francois > Marceau who married Pelagie Dartes in 1809.
