French Family
Leslie French 9/10/05
While my Trench ancestors did not change their name to French , many readers of the hand written "T" read it as an "F" and this has made tracing the name difficult as the family was sometimes listed as French
In the 1790 Maine census there is a James French listed and I am positive that it is my ancestor James Trench.
So I share your frustrations. I have been unable to connect my James Trench to a father. If you ever get your Trench ancestry figured out and you find that they were in Mass. and Maine, please let me know.
