This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

His middle name was Fontaine. He told us that his family had some descendants of France but was mostly Welsh and Irish. They moved to New York many, many years ago and ended up in the Bronx. This may be an interesting connection to your question about the French relatives. We have lost contact with every single relative many years ago. But since Sweatt is a pretty uncommon last name...we may have a connection. I am very interested in my family history..but no one seems to know anything in my family. I would love to hear from you if you are interested to chat about roots. Have a good day. Karen
