[edit] Dendurent

Hi, and thanks for your message on my page about this (my) name. Actually, I've been aware of William Urban's page on the family for many years. He's a retired historian from Monmouth College and somehow related by marriage to my cousin. Hence, his interest. However, from close study of the article itself, I'm not convinced he's entirely correct. Three main problems: (1) the gap in record-keeping in Quebec in the 18th century due to the shift from French to British rule (he acknowledges this), (2) information that common ancestor Joseph Dendurent was born in St. Johns, Newfoundland rather than in Quebec, and (3) evidence that several Franco-American families which married into the Dendurent line were Hugenots; and indeed most of the family now are Calvinists of one denomination or another.

A Dendurent/Dandurand connection is certainly suggested by the fact the names are pronounced exactly the same way in French.

Thanks for your interest. Are you a genealogist? --Halcatalyst 15:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

And again, merci beaucoup pour les trés valables informations!!! Now I have a resource -- Jean Tosti's work -- where I can follow up on some other family names as well. Again, many thanks! --+Halcatalyst 01:23, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

But wait! You gave me several sources --> several more thanks. --Halcatalyst 01:29, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
