Hello James,

I've started a search for Pierre Gregoire and Marie Anne Leveille but it's slow going. The French records of the 1600/1700's are not easily available and can be quite difficult to read (but they're a far sight better than most other country's records). The other problem is not knowing exactly where they came from. There is no Saint-Jean-de-Leon anywhere in France. The cathedral in Lyon is Saint-Jean-de-Lyon but it's not a parish, arrondissement or department. Do you have any family history that mentions Lyon or other place names in France? Do you have any family stories that mention names, places, professions, etc in France? Every little bit helps.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Cheers,

Soosi

Thanks for inviting me to your tree, which I accepted.

The French are usually pretty good about ages and dates which is quite helpful. It's probably a result of their great record keeping. A lot of times, in genealogy, you'll find dates and ages that are all over the place and you have to search over a fairly broad timeline.

One thing to note, in France a woman's records are always in her maiden name, never her married name - even her death records.
