My grandmother on my father's side is a Courville dite De Billy. I have the generations back into france with them. I was always told there was a connection there to a king. Which one, I'm not too sure. Antoine De Billy, s/o Jean De Billy and Jeanne De Puiseux, married on Feb. 21, 1402/03 to Pernelle De Villiers, d/o Jean de Villiers and Jeanne de Vallengoujart. Pernelle was supposed to be the cousin to a king... I have been trying to find the cousin link, but still do not know where it is exactly. > On the other hand, my great grandmother on my mother's side was a Beauchamp who married into the Belanger line. I have gone back down the Beauchamp line to 1560, and from there I hit a wall. So I tried coming back from the first Beauchamp in France. One went to fight in England with William duke of Normandy. He and his family became very wealthy. The daughter of Thomas Beauchamp, the then Earl of Warwick, married 3 times her name was Marguerite Beauchamp. She had children with her first husband, and a daughter with the last one. The daughter was Margaret Beaufort, her father was the earl of Beaufort. She became the mother of King Henry VII and the grandmother to Henry VIII. I am looking to see who came back to france to form my great grandmother's line, but I have been hitting walls for a long time. So, now you know of at least 2 families that came west. I also have Abraham Martin's line since his daughter married a "Ratie"(Rate) and a son of hers Pierre Rate had a daughter who married into my mother's line the Paradis. I have the Paradis line, back into France in 1575, and the Martin line to about 1451 in Germany with Viet Martin. > My father's line is the "Dubois" line. I go back to 1645 in St.Hilaire-Foissac in what is now Bas-Limousin. > So, if you wish you can contact me at... madlady6250@gmail.com. I will help all I can. Good luck with your searches.
