    3. CUMMING, Ga. — Someone pulled up several headstones and foot stones and caused other damage at a cemetery, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff's incident report. A man overseeing James Cemetery, 1575 Union Hill Road, said he saw many damaged or pulled up stones when he arrived July 15 about 4 p.m. He said about 50 feet from the entrance of the cemetery there was a pile of ash littered with Coke cans, which he assumed to be from a bonfire. The man said he found a piece of mail by the bonfire addressed to a man in Alpharetta.

    3. Hi Luella Hi Luella - I too have Anne LeNeuf but I didn't have her father Michel so have added him. I do have the year she and Antoine Desrosiers were married as 1649 and a bit more info in a previous message copied here: QUOTE If you have the surname DESROSIERS in your lineage (dit names are Dargis/Dargy/Dargie, Dutremble, Desilets, and LeFreniere), you are probably a direct descendant of Antoine Desrosiers and Anne LeNeuf ( http://www.apointinhistory.net/desrosiers.php ). This is a DOCUMENTED royal lineage to Charlemagne ( http://www.francogene.com/gfna/gfna/998/qrd30.htm ). Anne LeNeuf's grandmother was Jeanne Le Marchand. Her lineage to Charlemagne has been documented, and she is an accepted gateway ancestor for the lineage society Order of the Crown of Charlemagne ( http://www.charlemagne.org/ ). The article documenting the lineage from Jeanne Le Marchand to Charlemagne was originally published in French in the "Mémoires de la Société généalogique canadienne-française." It was later translated and published in English in a 3-part series in "Michigan's Habitant Heritage" : Part I, 23:4 (October 2002): 149-159; Part II, 24:1 (January 2003): 1-9; and Part III, 24:2 (April 2003): 49-55.
