Can some look up and see if my GGGF or siblings are listed in the book - most likely 1830 - Variants of the spelling of his last name were GAUNY, GAUNEY, GAUNE, JAUNE, GONEY, GONET. He was Jean Napoleon GAUNY in America and was only 5 when he came over. He MAY have travelled with an older sister (Marguerite possibly?) or she may have been old enough to be married and travelling under her (unknown) married name. Various sources I have say he was born in 1825 and came here when he was five. We do not know what part of France he came FROM, but research shows that the majority of the few people with this name were concentrated in the A-L area. Can't find their original arrival records in America, so I thought I would work backwards and try their departure instead. Twenty + years of research have failed to find his birthplace or parentage L Are there other resources I could check regarding departures from France to America in the 1830 time period? Thanks Karen Gauny Crisalli South Carolina, USA
Karen, I will check my copies of the Alsace Emigration Book. Sharon Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Karen, Sorry, but I find no entries under any of those spellings.
