Oh! At that time they are in Poitou: Les Herbiers, Coëx, Noirmoutier, etc.
I see from your bio that you are the perfect person for this job :)

Yes, it’s a difficult name. We’ve seen it even as Queyraud and Kaireau. But I think it began as Queraud in the 13th c.
(Your English is much better than my French - I am embarrassed to even try!)

Wonderful! There should be information on the Queraud family from around the 14th century. Could I contact you by email?

Yes. We’ve tried and failed for a couple of generations now. We have a couple of theories about his name being an alias, but Josué Quereau’s roots seem doomed to remain a mystery. 🤷♀️

(I’m sorry I’m just seeing this now)
Yes, although my family’s history often repeats that we’re from Bretagne, I’ve found Queraud/Quereau to be centered around Charente-Maritime.
I think, perhaps, something may have been lost in translation and they went through *Britain* as so many Huguenots did.

My goodness. What do these priests think they’re doing, hoarding the registers until they turn to dust. 😭

Yes! Just tell me where you’d like it sent.

You’d be amazed at how much you can pick up.
I’ve been researching my French Huguenot family for a year now, and have gone from zero to being able to easily navigate and translate 17th century French church registers. You’ll see the same words come up over and over, and then progress from there.

I received a great-grandmother’s death cert last year.
She died at a ripe old age, far from where she was born in AL, with grandsons making their best guesses, which is probably why her grandfather’s name was listed as her father’s name.
Sometimes these certs are only as accurate as the reporter.

I’ve always said that if I’d been on the Oregon Trail I’d have died of dysentery five minutes after leaving Missouri.

State archives might have military info like that, especially since it’s pre-Civil War. Depending upon the state, some state archivists are extremely helpful and have info like that at their fingertips.
