Greetings,

I administer the Degruy@Rootsweb list. We've been thinking that perhaps if we submit a list of some of the families allied to our Degruys, we might find researchers "out there" who might be interested in sharing research on some of these names. So below you will find a list of some of our related names. We are limiting this to our Louisiana [and maybe a couple of Mobile] names. We're not listing the European connections.

If anyone wants to respond, here are some options: you could join the Degruy list and submit your contributions and queries to the list. That would make sense if you have a lot of interconnections. If not, you could respond to me at the following address and I will then submit your email to the Degruy list and ask anyone relevant to your research to contact you. If you do this please use this email:

listadministratordegruyl@earthlink.net

This is an "experiment." We'll just have to take it step by step and see how it goes.

Thanks for any participation.

Renee

Here are some of our names:

PS: Our progenitor also had the names Dumenil/ DuMesnil, Valentin, Fouchard, de la Folie [some of these may have been European family names or titles, so I don't know if there's any point in including these at this point. In the beginning Antoine Jean-Baptiste Valéntin Du Mésnil Fouchart Verloin spelled his "last name" as Degruysverloin [all one word with an umlaut on the y.] Eventually that became Verloin Degruy.
