2022 Thank-you notes * November '22: Thanks for the
information on the website. Because of the 1856 census
records and others I was able to further my wife’s
line about her Scottish and Norweigian ancestors. It was
good..... Terry and Janie, Oregon |

Ferrall SURNAME REGISTRY * Annette Lynch has registered surname NAZETT / NAGEOTTE with the hope of finding someone to exchange info. with. The name was, and continues to be, Nageotte, although it gets some crazy spellings. John Peter Nazett, as he was known in Iowa, was born Jean Pierre Nageotte here in Crawford Co., PA, the son of French immigrant parents. He is the only descendant to change the spelling of his name, which has made it very hard to track him. Contact Annette at her email address shown for Nazette/Nageotte on the surname registry (12/7/22) * Housekeeping done on several of the Surname Registry pages by the coordinator (12/7/22) |
