    1. [HWE] Re: Changing names: JEAN LUCADOU
    2. My Jean Lucadou came to Manakintowne, VA in 1700. By 1705 he was naturalized with others and the name became John and his son Pierre Antoine became Peter Anthony and Guillieume became William. The last name also changed - again phonetically and Americanized - into 15 various spellings and became LOUCADOU/LOOKADOO/LUCKADO/LUCADO among others. Various spellings appeared with each census record. Even brothers often spelled the name differently, so everyone needs to research the names phonetically whenever they trace the lines. The European lines retained the LUCADOU name in France and England and in Germany the VON LUCADOU name appeared. Carolyn Lucado Griffin
