Posted on: Dakota Co. Mn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Dakota/590 Surname: Francot ------------------------- (Dakota co) I found a passenger list of immigrants travelling on SS 'Belgenland' Antwerp-New York on April 1st 1881 mentioning a Dutch family of farmers: Martinus Francot (father?), Maria Marps (mother?), George Francot, Gustav Francot, Kornelius Francot (sons?) I am married to radiologist Catharina (Cari) Francot (°16/5/'53, Turnhout, Belgium), daughter of Pieter Francot and Lucie Wynans, and sister of architect Hug(o) Francot whose wife is painter Magda Francot (born Joosten) (try websearch for 'Magda Francot'); parents are living in Turnhout, children in Antwerp; Hug can provide more info on name there is a Francot family buried in Antwerp cathedral (17th c. notary)
