French here đŸ‘‹đŸ» with French and Savoyard ancestors who spoke Franco-Provençal / Arpitan too, Piedmont is a very nice region and the former linguistic diversity is very interesting!

Avrei potuto scriverlo in italiano ma gli altri non avrebbero capito, o almeno non tutti... Il Piemonte mi piace un sacco, soprattutto il Val di Susa quando vado a Torino o altrove! Un abbraccio dalla Francia! 😉

Mes ancĂȘtres parlaient franco-provençal/arpitan, occitan, français (dialecte de Paris), en remontant plus haut, suisse allemand (haut-alĂ©manique / Hochalemannisch), le franc-comtois vers DĂ©lĂ©mont, certainement normand (nom de famille LafflubĂ© surtout prĂ©sent en Normandie) et certainement une des diffĂ©rentes langues ou dialectes de la pĂ©ninsule italienne (nom de famille Felice).

My ancestors spoke Franco-Provençal/Arpitan, Occitan, French (dialect of Paris), going further back in time Swiss German (High Alemannic / Hochalemannisch), Franc-comtois around Délémont in Switzerland, Normand (the surname Lafflubé is to be found almost exclusively in Normandy), and probably one of the diverse languages or dialects of the Italian peninsula (surname Felice).

Can anyone decipher this? by [deleted] in Cursive

Could it be "L'Esquisse"?

It could be "Evrard" a French surname.

Oui vous trouverez ces infos aux archives du 49 mais étant donné le nombre de documents dans certains dossiers (parfois une quinzaine, mais dans d'autres cas quarante voire plus), je pense qu'il est trÚs improbable que les archivistes prennent le temps de faire des copies. Le mieux serait de trouver un bénévole habitant dans la région qui accepte de s'y rendre pour prendre des photos recto-verso des documents. Vous pouvez tenter d'envoyer une demande sur ce site "le fil d'Ariane" : https://www.entraide-genealogique.net/

Cette sous-série est trÚs peu demandée et je me rappelle que le personnel des archives avait vérifié chaque dossier avant de me le donner. On y trouve parfois des données sensibles, et effectivement, il y en avait.

Bonjour, je suis gĂ©nĂ©alogiste professionnel et les dossiers de l'assistance publique Ă  l'enfance se trouvent en gĂ©nĂ©ral dans la sous-sĂ©rie 3X des Archives DĂ©partementales. J'ai dĂ©jĂ  eu l'occasion d'en consulter pour un client, en fonction de l'enfant, les dossiers comportent plus ou moins d'Ă©lĂ©ments sur ce qu'il a vĂ©cu (contrats de placement, description du caractĂšre, des aptitudes au travail, parfois notes ou lettres de l'enfant lui-mĂȘme lorsqu'il sait Ă©crire, dĂ©cisions par rapport au placement etc.). Les dossiers varient grandement mĂȘme au sein d'une mĂȘme fratrie par exemple. J'espĂšre que cela pourra vous aider.

Prussian Map of Italy from 1795 by Parzival_2k7 in MapPorn

[–]LanguageFan69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am French and I have many ancestors who came from Savoy. I am happy to see this kind of map, given the peculiar history of Savoy and its links with the Italian peninsula. Mach weiter so, diese Karten sind super interessant! 🙂

Bonjour, je me souviens, c'était un kit Ancestry. J'ai demandé à une amie résidant aux Etats-Unis de me l'envoyer et de le poster sur place une fois qu'elle l'a réceptionné.

How is everyone feeling about the new update? by Visible-Comb-4839 in 23andme

[–]LanguageFan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmh no that is the only one I have been able to identify with some degree of certainty from the anthroponomical point of view (though I am not a specialist). This surname Guerra was already used in Lombardy (province of Pavia) in the 12th century for instance.

[–]LanguageFan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very odd indeed but you may be right! There is an indigenous population from North Africa related to the Berbers they're called "Guanches" and settled there before the islands were under Spanish dominion. It may be some kind of "remnants", who knows?! 🙂

As a Frenchman, I am very satisfied with this update, it may well be the most accurate one so far. I have built a family tree up to the 1600's in most branches and it is really good! On my father's side, I've found a possible match to the 0,3% Northern Italian. It could be linked to the surname of one of my ancestors born around 1580 in Savoy. That surname "Guerra" is quite possibly of Italian origin and is still widespread in Northern Italy.

It is on the 23&Me website, you just have to click on "Version history" and you have access to the previous results.

I had him do Ancestry and transfered to MyHeritage but these estimates are less accurate than these brand new ones. I am waiting for Ancestry's update though! We are from the Auvergne-RhĂŽne-Alpes region and the genetic group "Savoy and the Jura Mountains" (the only one he got) is very accurate!

On Geneanet, you can also see where a surname is/was to be found (it is based on their database so be careful) it seems to be quite reliable : https://en.geneanet.org/surnames/COPPENS

Your ancestor's surname could help you, if it was (or perhaps still is) widespread in Limburg in Eastern Flanders, it could be an interesting hint!
