I suspect that the surname is a variation of Lefevre [Lefebvre, Lefebre, Fevre]. The surname was in Louisiana in the early 1720s [From Switzerland and from Nantes, Brittany, France]. It was also in Acadia and in Quebec. The surname is found in the Arkansas Post and in the Illinois Region. Many of the French surnames in Oklahoma came from Arkansas or Louisiana but some also came from Canada, Detroit, Illinois, Missouri, etc. Stanley LeBlanc www.thecajuns.com -----Original Message----- From: Don2717@aol.com [mailto:Don2717@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 6:54 AM To: ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Are the LaFevers of Acadian origin ???
