Hi, I don't know about your Ford ancestor's parents, but I may have a clue. While researching my husband's Chastains I discovered that some Fords were originally Faures. To see what I am talking about, open the Google search engine http://www.google.com and then type this into the box: Ford AND Faure You will get a lot of people whose names changed and you can see from what areas they came. It would probably work with other search engines just as well. Good luck. Kay
