I am one of those who will keep looking for whatever is out there to find. I
have been working on my husband's family history for over 10 years-not his
Dvorak background because Dvorak appears to be the Czeck equivalent of Smith
and Jones. I can locate his Dvorak great grandfather coming into port in
Galveston Texas around the turn of the century and it doesn't matter anyway
because his grandfather told me that isnt their real name. His hispanic side
of the family is another matter- his grandmother is 94 or 95, knows 200 yrs
of the family history all backed up by census, birth, marriage and death
records. Now if I could get so lucky with this Dupuy/St Clair bunch---
constantly I am trying to think around this- looked at some old maps the
other day and have learned much just over the wkend about the areas in
Scotland and France.
Now I am curious about all the St Clair locations in France and particularly
in the ones in Champagne back then that may not even be on newer maps. I know
people didnt mind going long distances back then to procure a spouse-but I am
thinking (1) local (2) still maybe also Scottish. Where are the church
records on Champagne Dupuys and St Clairs-what old church were all the well
known people in Champagne in that time married in?
I am curious in general about the old Sinclair papermill as I mentioned and
curious too about what watermarks they used as well as whether or not the
gypsies who stopped at Rosslyn were involved in moving documents 'cross
country for payment. Those of you who are Templar researchers-what did the
Templars have to do with these people, who they most surely would have run
into? -Gay Dvorak
