Hello Michelle,
Sorry about the french part: I thought you were writing from St-Chamas. Yes, I think I know who you are. I believe your mother's name is Reine Lescoutre who married your father named Bill (from Kansas?). Your grand-father, named Leon, is the brother of my grand-father named Adolphe. Which means that we are second cousin of the same generation. My father (Henri), son of Adolphe, emigrated to Canada in 1951. I was born in Montreal, Canada. I now reside in Ottawa. Where do you reside? My records show that your mother's mother was Gabrielle Manson, born before 1888. Leon is the son of Auguste Lescoutre born in 1862 in Lumbres, Pas de Calais, who was married to Marie Josephine Caillol, born in 1870 in Grans. I have the family tree of the Lescoutre ancestors up to approx 1660. We come from the Pas de Calais area in the north of France. If you send me an e-mail (slescoutre@hotmail.com) I can send you a copy from which you can work from. I am also interested in your tree. Is it available on the net? Cheers!
