Wow...we share a lot of the same ancestry. On my dads side (my grandpa and before) were Hugenots from French Flanders...first going to Rhineland Palatinate.....then to New Paltz NY. The original house from the 17th C is still around in New Paltz

My moms side is German....and I was born there. There is also Polish and Jewish on her side of family

Louis DuBois ??? Some of those New Platz Huguenots arrived there on the Gilded Beaver..(Dutch name)right up the Hudson River..

The mother of my Huguenot Mabille/Mabee who came here was a DuBois ..possibly sister, aunt, cousin of the father of Louis...

Flanders...in Belgium now ...Walloons ??? I have De Forests from Cambreis/Avesnes...Jesse De Forest

Thats my Dad’s side..

Mom’s were Presbyterians from County Down in Ireland, and from Ayrshire, Scotland, and Anglicans from Staffordshire...mostly coal miners

also Guery/Geary from Shropshire which could have been originally Guerri/Guerry a Huguenot name...
