Surnames: Abraham, Desmarets, Fleury
Hi,

I'm looking for information on the Abraham(Desmarets) family in France. I'm particularly interested in the parents and siblings of Godfroy/Godegrand Abraham (Desmarets). He lived in Paris and was married to Denise Fleury. Their daughter was Marguerite Abraham, who immigrated to Canada in 1665. I have a feeling that the Abraham family originates from Normandy. Also, Godfroy's name is sometimes recorded with Desmarets as the surname, but in most records it is omitted. I'm wondering if Abraham is a Sephardic surname?

Thank you,
Caroline

I neglected to mention that both Godfroy Abraham and Denise Fleury were born around 1620.
