The Eighteenth Century Lamoureux Family of the Hudson Valley by David Kendall Martin |
A Wonderful Announcement I am pleased to announce that A new genealogy … The Eighteenth Century Lamoureux Family of the Hudson Valley by David Kendall Martin, a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, published in 2008. We finally have a Lamoreaux Book. The last Lamoureux family book was a pamphlet published in 1919 & 1939 by Andrew Jackson Lamoureux and Harold Dane L’Amoureux. The hardbound book of about 400 pages traces this Huguenot family from its origins in France and its exile in England to its refuge in America, where it has spread throughout the various states and Canada. On archival paper, the book is fully indexed and illustrated with maps and signatures. The focus of the work is the first five or six generations of the Lamoureux family which cover the mid to late 17th century, the 18th century, and the early to mid 19th century. In addition, many members of the sixth and seventh generations will be covered. An exciting feature is documentation of the birth of Andre Lamoureux, sea captain and founder of the American family, together with the identity of his parents, and his Lamoreaux grandfather. Also documentation of the birth of Suzanne De LaTour, with the identity of her parents. There will also be documentation of: Andre's capture by privateers, legal pirates, in the Caribbean, 1706, the family's participation on both sides of the American Revolution including Loyalist exile in Canada, participation in the War of 1812 and the Civil War, and early involvement with the heroic sufferings of the founding of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints. The work presented in this book represents over 40 years of research building on the pioneer files of Andrew Jackson Lamoureux and Harold Dane L'Amoureux. Anybody familiar with Lamoreaux research is familiar with David Kendall Martin’s research and knows the quality and detail that represented in this book.
