Hi Jackie, I too, am researching the DeNormandie family. I am descended from Clarissa who married Thomas Kirkbride Biles. The information that you have regarding the DeNormandie family history can be found in a book by Arthur Sandys titled "Annals of De Normandie" that can be found at the NYC Public Library as well as at the New England Historical & Genealogical Society in Boston, MA, and the Library of Congress. The only place where the book was easily accessible was in Boston, where it had been the gift of Louis Joseph Sands, the brother of Arthur Sandys, the author. Both of the other libraries house it in the rare book section and require special permission to view it. The book specifies that there were only 50 copies printed and were for the family. It is truly a treasure to anyone who is descended from this noble family. I have one entry in my files that differs from what you have and that is that Wm. Penn De Normandie (1824-1881) married Sarah Ten Eyck 18 Feb 1854 in Shodack Landing, NY. Regarding the Biles family, the children of Thomas Kirkbride Biles and his wife Clarissa DeNormandie were: Mary, Thomas J. (1793-1848), Charles (1795-1865), William Henry, James D. (1799-aft 1875) & Hannah (1806- ) Regards, Debbie Anderson

Jim, I may regret this but................ if you have a lot of requests, email them to me as attachments and I'll create a website on my domain and leave it there until there aren't any more hits for a month. In this way, people can take a look a grab that which they want. You only have to email once.

Jim, If you have a Yahoo! account (they're free), one of the features they offer is a "briefcase" to which you can upload up to 30M of files with a max of 5M for each file. You can keep files private or share them with others at your discretion. It's a nice feature. Hope this helps. Cheers Philip (Not a Yahoo shill, just a satisfied customer)

I get completely different results in every search I do (not just in GOOGLE or GOOGLE BOOKS) using DE NORMANDIE & DENORMANDIE. I have found quite a bit on this family very quickly. I am adding it all to my WORLDCONNECT Rootsweb site. (see URL below) I will be uploading a lot of new information I found over the last 2 days sometime today. That YARDLEY book online at HERITAGE QUEST has been a huge help. Someone wrote all over the YARDLEY-BROWN-DE NORMANDIE pages in this book adding great notes that were really helpful.

Jim, If you put scanned images into your photo editor program you can reduce the size, then save the new images, making them more manageable to email or post.

Jim, post them to the Bucks County Board at Rootsweb which allows attachments. That way, they'll always be there, and anyone can download them if they want.

Hi Folks : I have scanned a few old deeds , wills and photos of my family (King) and a mystery civil war soldier from Durham . These scans even zipped are too big to conveniently e-mail to everyone who wants copies . What's a good way to deal with this ? Is anyone related to a civil war soldier from Durham ? He is probably one of the miners as the photo was found behind a mantle in the last remaining mine worker house along Cooks Creek across from the limestone quarry .

Hi Jacqueline: It's great that you found your de Normandie connection. I don't know if Elizabeth Strickland would be the wife of your James or not, but what I did was to do a search on "Normandie" in the PA GenWeb Archives online (the archives easily found through a google search). There wasn't much that came up for that name, but this will abstract did. I have seen the name Strickland before near my ancestors on the census and had not seen any connection, but this particular connection may help me figure that out. My Brown ancestors were very connected to the Yardleys, and the Yardley name comes through out line even though I do not see a direct Yardley ancestor (Susan married to Thomas Yardley is as close as I can see so far). For research I would suggest using the PA Genweb Archives. You can search by county, which makes it easier. The most useful sections are the will abstracts for those counties which have them. When you get to the Brown ancestry, I would be happy to help you out. Our family has a lot of information . Feel free to email me.

It's been a long while since I posted my Steckel ancestors of Baden, Germany and Bucks Co., Pennsylvania, USA. Other spellings include Stickel and Steckly. I am hoping that someone else on this list is also interested in Stickel families from these areas. Descendants of George Adam Steckly Generation No. 1 1. GEORGE ADAM1 STECKLY was born Abt. 1785 in Baden, Germany. He married CATHARINE [UNKNOWN]. She was born Abt. 1784 in Baden, Germany. Child of GEORGE STECKLY and CATHARINE [UNKNOWN] is: i. CHRISTIANA2 STECKEL, b. 23 Nov 1827, Baden, Germany; d. 06 Jun 1897; m. WILLIAM WHITMAN; b. 15 May 1823, Pennsylvania, USA; d. 30 Sep 1898. They had 10 children, all of whom settled in Bucks and Northampton Counties, Pennsylvania and neighboring Hunterdon Co., New Jersey. Other Steckels in that part of Bucks Co. at the time were Catherine Steckel and son Francis Steckel; Nancy Steckel; Henry & Anna Steckel; Geo. Adam & Magdalena Steckel and sons Jacob & Samuel Henry Steckel; William & Elizabeth Steckle and daughters Emma & Clarissa Steckle; and Samuel & Anne Steckle and son David Steckle. I have primary sources for all of the above information. Write if you'd like them or if you have some knowledge of eastern Pennsylvania Stickel families. Thanks for your interest. Mary Jo C. Martin Melbourne, Australia

CLAIRE/CLARA DE NORMANDIE was the sister of SARAH (DE NORMANDIE) ABERCROMBIE who was my 4-great grandmother & wife of JOHN JOSEPH ABERCROMBIE, SR. I found these items yesterday and wonder if anyone might have anything on THOMAS KIRKBRIDE BILES who d. 1821? This DE NORMANDIE family was very prominent in Bucks County, the emigrant was ANDRE DE NORMANDIE who was connected to FREDERICK THE GREAT, according to item found yesterday in GOOGLE BOOK search. See item below. I am expecting more on ERNESTINE and her mother's line (incl. ANDRE-ANDREW DE NORMANDIE) from the National Genealogy Society located in Virginia soon. ============================= IGI Individual Record FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 North America CLAIRE <DENORMANDIE> Female Christening: 28 DEC 1761 Christ Church And Saint Peters, Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Father: ANTHONY DENORMANDIE Mother: MARY DENORMANDIE Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record.

The DE NORMANDIES were a princely family of France, holding feudal tenures in Champagne from the earliest times, the heads of the house being the lords de la Motte. In 1460 GIULLIAUME DE NORMANDIE was made royal governor of Noyon in Picardy, and founded the chapel of ST. CLAIRE in the church of ST. MARTIN. He married a DE ROYE, princess in her own right, and daughter of the lord of DE MAILLY D'AISILLY and MONTESCOURT. >From GIULLIAUME DE NORMAMDIE descended LAURENT DE NORMANDIE, the warm friend and supporter of CALVIN, and the executor of his will, who fled to Geneva, and, as did his sons after him, filled some of the highest offices in that republic. >From LAURENT came JEAN DE NORMANDIE, one of the deputies sent in 1603 to conclude a treaty of peace with the prince of Savoy, and from JEAN came JOSEPH, named after his uncle and godfather, the celebrated DUC DE LA TREMOUILLE. These were all counsellors of state and syndies of Geneva, as was MICHAEL, the son of JOSEPH. >From MICHAEL came ANDRE DE NORMANDIE, the confidential agent and lieutenant of FREDERICK THE GREAT at Neufchatel. In his old age this ANDRE DE NORMANDIE, born at Geneva in 1651, came to America in 1706, with his two sons, JOHN ABRAM and JOHN ANTHONY, and settled at Bristol, where he died in 1724. Of his sons, JOHN ABRAM, in 1688, and JOHN ANTHONY, in 1693, married HENRIETTA ELIZABETH, and MARY, daughters of DOCTOR FRANCIS GANDONET. The former died at Bristol in 1757, and the latter in 1748. The remains of father and sons repose in SAINT JAMES' church-yard. The children of the two sons married into the familes of BARD, of Burlington, and ANDERSON, whose whereabouts is not known. Some of the DE NORMANDIES sided with England in the Revolutionary struggle and got into trouble, while with others WASHINGTON was on terms of warm friendship. The families were valuable citizens in the church and ont of it. Some of them were physicians and men of science and culture, and they owned considerable real estate in the county. DOCTOR JAMES DE NORMANDIE, a physician with large practice in PENN's manor, was the last of the family to leave the county, and settled in Ohio about thirty-five years ago. His son JAMES is now a clergyman of the Episcopal church at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The father married a sister of SAMUEL YARDLEY, formerly of Doylestown. Late in life DOCTOR JOHN ABRAM went to Geneva to claim property left him and his cousin, by an old nobleman. He there met VOLTAIRE, who was so pleased with his society that he made some preparation to return with him and lay his bones here. The doctor brought home a miniature given him by VOLTAIRE, which is yet owned by the descendants of the family. ARTHUR SANDS of Trenton, is a descendant of the DE NORMANDIES. ======================================================== Jacqueline Sleeper Russell website: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SRCH&db=jacquelinesr

I have tried in the past to see if I could tie in to Isaac White and have been unable to. My James White married Hannah Yardley. I know her parents (Richard), grandparents (Richard), but not his. We believe it was John White who had several sons, but have not been able to find positive proof. John White lived in Lower Makefield Township (near Yardley). Supposedly James died in 1812, probably buried in the Slate Hill Cemetery (again no proof, but one of his daughters, Lucilla White Cook and her children are buried there). His sons George and Samuel moved to Ohio about 1830. Had sisters one who married Mitchell lived in Miami Co Ohio. One married a Scott. Lived in Champaign Co. Ohio. Hannah moved to Miami Co Ohio a few years after her sons and died just a few years later..in the 1830s. Mike Daley

The Brice I was referring to was the husband of Catherine Moore, but I was wrong. Brice's brother John married Martha Mercy Iliff. Just a little brain fade. What's that expression? Look before you leap! Lynn Linda Huff Muessig wrote: >Which Brice Pursell are we talking about? > > >

Mike, Do you know who was James White's parents? The area you mentioned in Ohio is where my great grandfather Isaac White s/o James and Elizabeth Robinson White moved when he left WV, was VA, at the time he left. Does Hampshire Co. WV sound familiar?
