Classification: Census
Surnames: Couchot, Carr
I have just starter trying to find some of my ancestors. My g-mother on my mother's side was Frances (Fannie) Couchot. She was born around 1889, married Joseph C Carr and lived in Dayton, Ohio. I believe she had several brothers (Otto, Frank and Roger) and 3 sisters (Therese, Myra (or Mary) and Ursula). I am unable to find any information on my g-mother prior to the census in 1910. I believe she was born in Versailles, Ohio and that either her parents or g-parents immigrated from France. Of anyone has any info on the side of the Couchot family - HELP! I have tried every approach I can think of to find more information on her and our family.
You can contact me at getpatti@yahoo.com. Thanking you in advance.

Hi, my grand father was Otto. All of his siblings were born in Versailles. I do know his fathers name was Frank. I have been told that before migrating to ohio the family spent time in Canada. The Couchots are from the loraine region of France(north east). Thats about all Ive got.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the help. I knew about the family being in Versailles but never heard about being in Canada. I think your grandfather may be my grandmother's brother. If I find out for sure, I'll let you know. Thanks again.

Hello Patti,
I am not so sure about the Canadian background, but positive about the Loraine Region of France. Have you found out any more information? I think my great, great grandfather was Joseph, Franks father. There is a building in Versailles that is imprinted with N.J. Couchot but I am not sure what the N stands for? I wonder if he went by Joseph, and his first name was something else. I have looked at the Versailles Public Library and have found little information. If you find anything, let me know!

Hi Mike,
I have found out more information regarding the our Couchots. I found two N.J. Couchots - father and son. The N stands for Nicolas (the jr. spelled it Nicholas) and the J is not for Joseph but for Jean. Somehow my grandmother's names were switched "Eugenia Frances" to Frances Eugenia, and she was the daughter of Frank and Mary Emma (nee DeLaet) Couchot. This information I got from her death certificate.

Frank was the brother of Nicholas, Jr. I was getting rather frustrated trying to find info on my grandmother, so I decided to take another route and did a search for her sister, Ursula - no luck. But then I did a googled Ursula Couchot and found a page that had everybody on it going back to the the 1600s in France - actually in Hannonville-sous-Cotes, Meuse, France, I did not find any Canadian connection but did find the the above town is in the Lorraine area of France, almost due west of Metz.

Sorry to be so wordy, but genealogy can be confusing.

I hope this helps. Any problem, let me know.
