Chatelain-The French Connection
Will anybody be visiting France this year with the intent to research the Chatelains?
I have learned recently that the Dominique Chatelain line has origins in Alsace Lorraine, more specifically Strasbourg.
If someone is planning such a trip, that might be a reasonable place to visit.
Another thought---does Chatelain mean anything in French, such as a trade or profession that would provide the name as a source as Miller or Butcher, for example, indicates the occupation in which an individual likely was engaged.Or does Chatelain suggest a region or city where the family might have originated.An older atlas might suggest an association with the origin of the name.
