  • Notes 
    • Michel's surname has a different spelling in every record I have that has name in it.

      In Michel Lebevre's daughter, Elisabeth Angelique Lefebve, baptism document records Guillaume Berthuy, a bourgeois of Longwy, as 'godfather.

      I looked into Longwy in Meurthe-et-Moselle's document images because I thought there must have been some connection. I found a 1730 baptism record for Michel Nicolas Lefebve, son of Michel Lefebre and Marguerite Dubuisson. The father was a soldier, regiment de geyenne'. There was no age or parents or what parish they were from. Nor did I find a baptism, marriage or death record for either of the Michel's parents.

      I think Michel Nicolas Lefevre MIGHT be Michel Lefebre of Torgny.

      en ligne traduction:

      Dans l'acte de baptême de la fille de Michel Lebevre, Elisabeth Angelique Lefebve, Guillaume Berthuy, bourgeois de Longwy, est mentionné comme « parrain ».

      J'ai cherché dans les images de documents de Longwy en Meurthe-et-Moselle parce que je pensais qu'il devait y avoir un lien. J'ai trouvé un acte de baptême de 1730 pour Michel Nicolas Lefebve, fils de Michel Lefebre et Marguerite Dubuisson. Le père était soldat, régiment de geyenne'. Il n'y avait pas d'âge, ni de parents, ni de paroisse d'où ils venaient. Je n'ai pas non plus trouvé d'acte de baptême, de mariage ou de décès pour l'un ou l'autre des parents de Michel.

      Je pense que Michel Nicolas Lefevre pourrait être Michel Lefebre de Torgny.

      Je n'ai trouvé aucun document indiquant l'année de sa naissance ou son âge.
