I'll be researching this area and transcribing info most likely on the Huguenot and/or DUBOIS list if you want to just sit back and read and cut and paste. But if you want to go whole hog, I would heartily recommend Charles Baird's "Huguenot Emigration to America" as a book you'll turn to again and again for Huguenot migration patterns and info on various regions of France and migrations through Germany, Holland, England, and the Islands to the U.S. (and this applies to all Huguenots, of course, not just DuBois.) As for your family specifically, several articles have been written--and sometimes hotly disputed-- on the European ancestry of Chretien duBois. I have on order via interlibrary loan several articles on Louis DuBois' European ancestry, and when I get them, will let you know the sources, synopsis, etc. Also, Matthew Hilt Murphy's works on the matter are found here and there in libraries--but not often. His works are among the disputed ones, but I cannot tell you exactly why just yet, or if the criticism is justified, because although I've read them, I did not know enough at the time to see if the subsequent fussing is substantiated. So, keep an eye to the Hugo and/or the DuBois list--unless Steve Coker? are you here?--wants cross-posting here, too. This list rarely addresses the "northern DuBois" lines, but the European ancestry might affect us all.
