French Ancestors Newsletter

(Includes surnames index to all 15 volumes)

French Ancestors was a newsletter focusing on the origins of the French immigrants who settled in western Ohio (primarily Darke and Shelby Counties) in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. They originated in the northeastern part of France, in the regions known as Lorraine, Alsace, and Franche Comte, as well as in the adjacent French-speaking areas of neighboring countries.

Each issue of the newsletter contained informational articles -- about history and culture, everyday life, and customs of these regions of France -- and genealogical records extracted from European civil and church records. In addition to the newsletter, the editor has published three books of extracted genealogical records -- for the French villages of Hennemont, Hannonville, and Frahier.  French Ancestors was published between 1988 and 2002 by Marianne Doyle, 2923 Tara Trail, Beavercreek, OH 45434-6252 (DoyleMR@aol.com).

The table below does not index every surname mentioned in French Ancestors or the books, it only lists the primary families covered by each issue/book. If you have questions about the records, you can contact Marianne Doyle or write to me at wmcnitt@hotmail.com
