Surnames: DeRouen/Drouin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YCB.2ACI/290.315 Message Board Post: My grandparents were DeRouen's - Nora and Olivia, from Bell City, LA. They are buried at the DeRouen-Lorraine Cemetary in Hayes, LA. We have done research on the DeRouen's. Our branch stems from the widow, Bazeline DeRouen, who came to the Hayes/Bell City area in the 1854, with seven sons and one daughter. We were able to trace the line back to Quebec, but the spelling was originally "Drouin".
