The Couturiers fascinate me, but the only ones I have in my gedcom are: Bernard [Benoist] Francoise, Maria, Marianne and Pierre. So, for now, all I can do is hang on to this information, Judy. I wonder how these might relate to our Pierre who was a native of Poitu and Surgeon Major [chirurgien] of the Fourth Company of the Swiss Regiment of Karrer, the only permanent military company stationed in New Orleans during the French regime? I wonder.... if he is a member of the Swiss Regiment... did that mean that he had to be "Swiss".... Where is Poitu? Is that in the part of France near Switzerland. I wonder who could answer these questions. I guess there could be the Canadian Couturiers.... and our branch was different. r [email protected] wrote: > Your Ancient Canadian Family Ties > Reginald L.
