I think I may have Charron ancestors, from Picardie, near Amiens. Some families from Picardie migrated in the 17th Century to Fehrbach, a village near Kaiserslalutern that had been totally depopulated by the 30 Years' War. I suppose they may have gone there after Louis XIV occupied the Pfalz in 1673. I have ancestors named "Raquet" of that origin.
In 1667, my ancestor Jacques Augustin married Anne Madeleine Charron. I think this occurred before they went to Fehrbach. In the German records his name became "Jakob" Augustin and hers became "Anna Magdalena Scharon." I am descended from them through the Becker family and my name is a translation of "Becker" into English. I'd like to contact others of Fehrbach ancestry who might be relatives of mine.
