New to this list....I am searching for the FORCE surname. Family stories tell me that was originally La Force and that we are related to the owners of the La Force castle in France. As far back as anyone in Canada and the US can go on our line is to Noah FORCE born 1768 married to Mary BEEMER in 1787 in Deckert, New Jersey USA. They moved to Canada 1812. In the Ontario census it says that Noah's grandson, Francis Force was a German farmer....but we know that he was born in the USA. All researching has stopped at Noah, no one can go any further back than him. If anyone has an idea as to where to go it would certainly be appreciated. Thank you, Tom
