Looking in my Jetté genealogical dictionnary of French Canadians, there were two families of Guérin that came to New France, one from Amboise, the other from Poitiers. As I said in one of my previous posts, always look at www.genealogie.com because there might be another person who has pertinent information for you. Luc.

Hi Elsie, I have copied this reply to the list as it may be of interest to others. Could I ask you if you know the area of France your GUERIN line was based. I ask as it is a name that is often occurring in my research and is usually associated with the La Tremoille family at Thouars which is in the Deux-Sevre department and the Poitou-Charentes Region. If so I can give you several leads to follow. The name GUERIN is also on the list of prisoners that were sent to the colonies. There is a Marie and a Philippe GUERIN. Again they could be associated with LERPINIERE, the name I research, as there was one in the same list. If they were connected then there is a fair chance your GUERINS sailed from Marseilles and were shipwrecked off the coast of Martinique. This would have been in 1687. No record of the other names. There is information regarding the above together with other information concerning Protestants that left France for other parts. These records are at the Archives nationale, Centre des archives d'outre-mer at Aix-en-Provence. Unfortunately, unlike most other French archives they refuse to provide any information and insist it be done through a professional researcher, which so far I have been unable to find. Has anybody any ideas? If all else fails I will make a holiday out of it during the summer and pay them a visit. Roy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elsie H.

Dear Roy, Please post these lists somewhere. If not directly on the list, maybe Andrea can put them on the web site. Elsie Wilson I'm particularly interested if there are these names listed: GUERIN DUMONT/DUMOND BILLIBEAU At 05:01 PM 1/31/01 +0000, you wrote: >Quite a lot of information exists regarding the above covering the years >1685 - 1789 and I possess some of the information. > >The total information covers > >1.
