Dubois Family coming out of ???nowhere???
I just got into this.
My grandfather's name was John "Barney" Bernard Dubois (also found some accurate info with teh spelling Du Bois)
his father's name was Victor George Dubois
& his dad was Dorcine dubois
what I can't figure out was where Dorcine came from or his parents or where most of the family is now.
I know due to my grandfather's mother's (Josie florence Newcomb) early death when he was a baby, he was sent to live in Louisiana, possibly Gonzalez with his Uncle Henry & Aunt Ida, who is the one who nicknamed him Barney because as I was told, literally, John Bernard was "too yankee of a name"
