I'm planning a trip (my first) to France/Germany (Alsace-Lorraine-Baden areas) this year. I would like help locating what a fellow researcher stated was a small village in this area (I think between Lyon & the Champaigne region), still named Flournois. I haven't found it on any map yet; but, as I recall, my correspondent stated it was little more than a big house and a very few smaller ones. With a computer crash, I've lost that communique. Any help much appreciated. I've traced my Flournois/Flournoy family (w/a lot of help from fellow researches distant relatives) back to this area in the late 1500's (Nicholas, father of Laurent). Laurent fled to Switzerland w/his wife, Gabrielle Mellin of Lyon. They had 2 sons born in Geneve: Gedeon & Jean. Gabrielle's father was killed in Lyon as a result of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, as I understand. My great grandmother was Elizabeth Julia Flournoy of Scott Co. KY, dau of Rev. David John Flournoy & Cassandra Conn. David John was a son of Mathews Flournoy, who was killed by Indians (aka Native Americans) during one of his horseback trips to VA & MD to bring back lead glass windows for his new home in Scott Co. KY, which he built next to Fort Flournoy. I visited here this past fall. Members of the Flournoy family lived in this distinctive house until the late 1950's. The house then went to ruin & was used as a cattle enclave for a while. It has since been purchased and historically restored to its 1850's spendor by a horse-breeding consortium. Some information might be obtained from the Georgetown Historical Society, should anyone else be interested. At the time of my visit I was told there had been about 6 - 8 visitors since the completion of the restoration in late 1999 - most of them, like me, were descendants or other relatives. Thank you. djstevenson
