All - There were quite a few French troops who fought with the American patriots in the American Revolution. Regardless of whether they were technically "French troops" or Frenchmen serving as "American troops", I think most of us understood what Chris was talking about... I would also be interested in those listings, as one of my ancestors reportedly was a Frenchman who fought in the American Revolution. My ggg-grandfather, Jean (later John) Geandreau, is listed in the register of "Les Combattants Francais De Le Guerre Americaine,", 1778-1783, of a list of French participants in the Revolutionary War. He was among the French troops in the squadron of the Count de Ternay, who sailed to America aboard the French ship, "Le Neptune," in February 1780, and June 1783. I would love to get more information on him. I would be interested in getting (or at least accessing) a copy of that book, and in knowing whether there are additional records about that service. Also, I'm curious how DAR treats those soldiers? My Jean Geandreau went back to France and served with Napoleon, and didn't return to the United States until the early 1800's...
