I have been doing some research on the Kazilar surname.Came across Jean Baptiste Cazellar/Marie Ann Barret,New Orleans,who had several children,including a Jean Louis who was sponsored for baptism by Louis and Marie Francoise Ranson on Apr.6,1762.I am interested in the Kazilar line.There was a Cazelar plantation in New Orleans(Algiers)and several Pierre Cazelar's with records up to c.1850(Paris).I believe that Jean Baptiste and wife were married in Quebec,Oct.14.1751.The Kazilar line that I am investigating goes back to c.1490 in what is today Croatia.The similarname may be a coincedence.Was this Ranson a general?There seem to be a lot of Ransons ranking high in the military
