Hello to all, I'm new to this game. Maybe this info will help some. My grandfather was JOHN EDWARD EVON b. 1893 Saginaw, MI. married NANCY BANKS CARTER. JOHN'S father was HENRY EVON, came from Canada, I think, and his ancestors from FRANCE, but don't know when. Henry married HARRIET SPRING OR LAFONTAINE. My family had always heard that the original name in France was EVEUX OR EVEAUX. Also I seem to recall my dad, William, mentioning an Uncle or Great-Uncle Napoleon.
