Subject: [COULOMBE-L] Re: Colomb family

Hi William:

: Here is a listing I have from Family Tree Maker on the line of Christophe
: Colomb (b.1770 in France, died 1832 in south Louisiana). He was married in
: 1801 to Francois Bringier (b 1801, d. 1827), the daughter of Marius Pons
: Bringier (b.1752 in Aubagne, FR - d. 4/21/1820 in St James Parish,
: Louisiana) who was married to Marie Francoise Durand OF Marseilles, FR.
: They are all buried in the family tomb in Donaldsonville, Louisiana. This
: tomb isquite a historic structure that I am trying to preserve. Marius was
: my GGG grandfather.

Do you know where in France Christophe Colomb came from?  Until we can find
a connection between Christophe Colomb, your Founder; and Louis
Coulombe/Colombe - our Founder who emigrated to Quebec from Le Neubourg,
Evreux, Normandie (Eure), France we cannot connect the two lines.  However,
I do believe that they are related.  The problem is going to be in proving
it.  Right now we shall just have to refer to you guys as the "Southern
Branch" of the family.

: 
: I am mostly looking for current generation descendants of Christophe
: Colomb and Francoise Bringier. The following is a list of that family, but
: I have lots of names, but few dates. Much of this was compiled from a 
: book by Seabold from the 1940's.
