Dear Fernin, Thanks for joining our discussion group. I notice that you did not list your 4G deGruy grandparents. The information that I have on them is not clear. Can you shed some light on the wives and children of your 4G grandfather, Jean-Baptiste Valentin deGruy. Which wife are you descended from? Thanks. ~Bonnie

This is a first-time effort. If anyone has any corrections or suggestions to make, please feel free. It would be great if someone can put this in context of DeGruy ascendants earlier than listed. I am new to this, so I assume the first 'g' is for 'great'. If not, it will need adjusting. Plus, this only has two 'DeGruy' generations: GGG-Antoine Onezine DeGruy (& Louise Evelina Ceuvin) GG-Frederick Nicaud (& Lucie Felicie Verloin DeGruy) G-Evelina Nicaud (& Sidney Francis Lewis) grandmother--Evelyn Marie Louise Lewis (& Robert M. Farrell) mother--Evelyn Lewis Farrell (living--living) ________________________________________ From: degruy-bounces@rootsweb.com [degruy-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Degruy List Administrator [listadministratordegruyl@earthlink.net] Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 8:16 PM To: GEN DEGRUY Mailing list at Rootsweb Subject: [DEGRUY] Degruy List Lines - Have You Submitted More?

Afternoon Gene, Regarding your last email [see subject line above] was "Friends of French Art" the title of the magazine? If so, are you referring to a current or past issue of that magazine, or just to the magazine in general? When you say: " there is a poignant link w/ our< +FRENCH LOUISIANA COLONIAL+ >plantations/people< +VALENTIN VERLOIN deGRUY+ >and our< +DUFOUCHARD deGRUY+ >and yes, degruise< Do you mean that there is in that magazine the actual mention of our name [de Gruy or Degruise]? If so, please give us the date, and issue information and the page number so we can also check it out. If our name is actually mentioned it would be good to have a photocopy of the page so that we can put it on our website. So, if we can't find it, perhaps you could email us with a copy of the page with our name on it.

Hi, no I don't know any of these people but my Aunt Gloria Shinn might she has not responded to any of this yet.

Here's a little experiment to see how our Degruy list lines can be of service. I note that several of you [nancy24_2001@yahoo.com    imbrowax@yahoo.com  dugruise@charter.net] descend from Joseph Degruy and Adeline Diaz. G5 7th Jean Baptiste Degruy & Marie Therese Aufrere G4 6th Joseph Verloin Degruise & Marie Couturier G3 5th Duminie Verloin Degruise & Charlotte Falgout G2 4th Joseph Dumini Degruise & Adeline Diaz So my question is.... did you three know each other before this Degruy@Rootsweb.com list? Did you know that you each came from the same branch of descent? Will knowing this encourage you to confer with each other and compare notes on your shared heritage? Will you check with each other to see if there are any shared family stories about your line? And a question for everyone: What do you think about the potential for using the list lines in this way? Have you looked to see who else on the list is close to your particular line of descent? Can you think of any other possibilities for advancing our mutual investigation of our heritage by conferring based on these mutualities? I'm wondering what might happen if all those from a particular branch would work together in fleshing out as much information on that particular branch as possible. Theoretically, at the end, we could simply combine all the various results from all the various lines. In this way much more might be accomplished than if one or two people try to do Every Single Individual....all by themselves. Anyone have any ideas about all of this? R This is a "discussion" list.
