You are so right about the De meaning they were known by another name. My grandfather was an orphan and WAS known by another name, which I do not have at present, because once he came here, to the United States, De Ceault was the name he used. You have been so helpful. I will keep trying for more information, as suggested. Additional help is gratefully accepted.
