A lot of French families came during the 1820-1850th from French Alsace to Ohio. They lived in the south of the French department of the "Haut-Rhin" ( now of the "Territoire de Belfort"). They came in Ohio and often settled in Stark County and all around. (You can usefull go to "FirstFrenchFamiliesStarkCounty Forum" in Yahoo Groups* and meet theirs descendants ).
Also, if you have French ancestors CHABOUDE, GLADIEUX, SCHWALM then FLEURY (FLORY in USA), PIERSON then GRIME, PRENAT(T), PIERSON, MARCHAND, VOISARD, VIGNOS , you may have common roots with me. If you click on the left "Maps" item , you'll see...
