I think I can help with some Lirots; my mother's maiden name was Eleanore Victoria Lirot [b:29 Mar 1919 in Meriden CT; d: 6 July 1993 in Sheldon, VT]. Her father was Albert Joseph Lirot [b:22 feb 1892 in Meriden, and died 9 Jun 1971 same city]; his father, my GGrandfather, was born in Thannen Kirch, Alsace Lorraine 13 Apr 1861 and passed away 13 Apr 1951 in Meriden. His father was George Lirot and the only thing I have on him is he was born 23 Oct 1834 in Alsace and married Anna Kuntze [b: 3 Apr 1833 in Alsace]. August married Virginia Kuster [b: 15 Jan 1865 in Thannen Kirsch], and had Otto, Anna, Rose and Albert Joseph for children. More if you are interested.
