I have been researching the PINTARD genealogy and a Count Jean and Marie Celeste PINTARD appear in the following reference: "It is a tradition that the PLACE family was among those who were succored by Count Jean PINTARD and his noble wife, the Countess Marie Celeste PINTARD, to reach England and later America." The PLACE family first went to New Rochelle, New York and then went to other colonies. My ancestor, Antoine PINTARD, came to America in 1687 from St Roman de Tosque by way of La Rochelle and the Island of St Christopher in the West Indies. I have not been able to make a connection between Antoine and Jean PINTARD, although some genealogists have done so. I would most appreciate help in finding information on Jean and Marie Celeste. Thanks. Bill Pintard
