Dear GEORGE researchers, Is anyone researching the surname GEORGE with roots in France. Catholic religon. In checking the LDS records, it is just like having the name Smith or Allen. Does anyone have a suggestion? My ggg-grandfather came to New York state from France with his family. His wife was Catherine (maiden name unknown). children all born in France: Joseph Jr, b. 1837 Pauline, b. 1839 Mary Ann, b. 1844 Charles, b. 1841 They were in NY city for awhile and then settled in Oswego Co., NY.and were in the 1855 State Census. There are other GEORGE families in this area too with the same origins but I cannot connect them. Thanks, Sheila George German
