Hello, I'm new to the St. Anne mailing list. I've been working on my family history, many of whom came from St. Anne - and have been trying to figure out how to correctly spell a name that has really got me stumped. The name appears three times in my family tree - however, the spellings that I have come across are all radically different, and it is an unusual name: Ulger/Eugere/Euchère. It is a man's name - two of my family bore this name as their "middle" name, one as the "first" name. Has anyone ever come across this name before in their family histories? Does anyone have an opinion about the correct spelling? My guess is that spelling #1 - Ulger - can't be correct. Spelling # 3 - Euchère - seems the most "French" sounding . The spelling Ulger came from Fr. Chiniquy's baptismal records, though, while the other spellings came from census records, which might be less reliably authentic. Of course, maybe they are really three different names altogether. I would greatly appreciate the thoughts of anyone on the mailing list. Thanks - John Farnen (descendant of André Changnon, St. Anne, IL)

Well... In my database I have: 4 Uldege 13 Ulderic (don't look like it) 9 Eucher (3 of them used Eugene) ----- Original Message ----- From: "jfarnen" <jfarnen@acegroup.cc> To: <ILSTANNE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 24, 2005 8:46 PM Subject: [ILSTANNE] Need help with name spelling > Hello, > > I'm new to the St. Anne mailing list.

Bonsoir, Ulger could be Ludger which was sometime pronounced Ludgère. Euchère is a well written name. Never seen Eugere, but could it be Eugène ?
