Hi: There was a De Bourdeaux family in France. I have: Pierre De Bourdeaux/Marie Antoinette Patinot as parents of 4 children 1:Charles B:12 MAY 1606 2:Jacques B:12 MAY 1606 3:Marie Anne B:27 JAN 1609 4:Joseph B:17 MAY 1610 all from Pont a Musson, France. This information is from the Mormon Church's microfiche from France #23299. I have not been able to find any other information on this early family, or their connection to Michel Boudrot of La Rochelle. Don Boudreaux Lafayette, La.

Good morning, My "Petit Larousse Illustré" for 1991 tells us that Pont-à-Mousson (54,700) is today the capital of a township in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle, situated near the borders with Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. This department was formed in 1871 by merging the 2 departments given to France by the treaty of Francfort. So far from the coast, I would not hold much hope of finding a connection.
