Gary, I couldn't find BAUBEAU but did find BAUBAULT. I think they may be just different versions of the same name. It STILL means someone who stammers or stutters and still comes from the same Latin source, "balbus". One of the reasons I think the above two names are just different versions of one another is because I have a few French names in my ancestry in which the spelling has changed from Dusseau to Dussault but they are actually the same family.

Barbara, Do you have an Elise DUSSEAU in your tree? Her father would have been James KENYON. Stan <snip> I have a few French names in my ancestry in which the spelling has changed from Dusseau to Dussault but they are actually the same family. Barbara >unsnip>
