Hi List members, The e-mail *below was to me from the Acadian Research List that I am on and I thought that I would share it with this list. Please read below to see if any of you could help the people in France find descendants of the Marceau/Marceaux family. Thanks, Linda Louviere d'Amours *Subject: We Need Help Members We have an e-mail from France. They need help finding a person. Please read and advise. Earl Dear Mr. Gates: I am hoping that some of your members may be interested in helping with a request we have received at our office, Le Centre International, the International Trade Division of the Lafayette Consolidated Government. This request comes from the City of Chartres, France. They wrote to the French Ambassador in Washington, D.C., who passed it on to the French Consul General in New Orleans, who in turn passed it on to us. Here is a brief translation of the request: Dear Mr. Ambassador: The City of Chartres would like to hold some festive cultural events during the spring of 2006, centered around General Marceau, native son of Chartres, who died in 1796 at the age of 27. For this, we are trying to find some of his descendants, whose surname changed from the spelling "Marceau" to "Marceaux" and who are located in Louisiana. We believe that among these descendants there is a pastor, the Reverend Sydney Marceaux. We would like to know whether it would be possible to help us so that we can include those descendants who are now far away from Chartres. Hoping that you may be able to help us find some traces, we send you our best regards. Nadine BERTHELIER Director of Arts, Cultural and Historical Heritage We would very much appreciate any information you and your members might be able to provide. We will be happy to translate any information into French and send it to Chartres. Sincerely, Ann Morgan Le Centre International 735 Jefferson Street Lafayette, LA 70501 Tel: (337) 291-5474 FAX: (337) 291-5480

I've spoken to Ms. Morgan and sent her an email with information on Francois Marceau who married Pelagie Dartes in 1809. She will obtain additional information on the first name of General Marceau, the name of his wife and names of children to determine if Francois was a son. There was also a Eugenie Marceau who may have been a sister of Francois.
