Welcome to the anglecized Stone world!. The story goes in our family that when you gggrandfather settled in Oswego, he was Catholic and sent his children to Catholic school. The nuns there told them that they were no longer DesRoches, but Stone and Stone they have been ever since. A slight variation on the Ellis Island changes. Our ancestor was Jean Baptiste DesRoches who married a Margureite T? in 1845 in Montreal according to the Canada Archives record. Other than that, we have no record of when he arrived who his parents were. sue [email protected] Southampton, NY
