Hi and Happy 4th to all, I have a couple of questions I am hoping someone can answer for me. While looking through some death records I have I found a reference to a person by the name of Alfred Duprat who died as a young child. His mother's name was Evelina Pariseau. Then it list's the witnesses as: Louis Pariseau, grandfather (I understand, this could be the mother's father but then it lists the father as) and Alfred Pariseau, father of the child. The father's name is Alfred Duprat. Am I correct in concluding Pariseau is a "dit" for Duprat or the other way around? Also, the English for Duprat could it also be Pratt? Thanks for any help. I think I have most of my relatives in my data base, but I think they are probably listed under a "dit" name and I have no clue. Is there a book someone may suggest for the different "dit" names and/or English translations for them? TIA, Pam Harbison
