Brian de GARMEAUX Explanation: Firstly, as is common in France, the surname has been noted first, the first name has been noted second. Secondly, there are two possible interpretations : 1 – the « de » means that something is being referred to which has been done « by » the person named, Brian Germeaux 2 – the full name of the person is Brian de Germeaux (un nom à particule, generally indicative of an old French family of aristocratic origin). The second one is more likely. Here’s why. A couple of entries on the web : http://www.ohio-valley.net/Business.asp?cop=3&cid=13 Wheeling Chamber of Commerce community care page lists a « De Garmeaux L W DC :701Wheeling Ave, Glen Dale, WV, 304-845-8828 » http://www.dominionpost.com/a/sports/2000/12/12/i/ In Wheeling agin, a certain Gabe de Garmeaux gets an honorable mention – part of a football sqaud. Conclusion ? There is at least one family by that name in Ohio ! http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/roots-l/messages/01feb/143028 (One family member has been looking into her roots) Subject: [ROOTS-L] De Garmeaux that came with Lafayette! My ancestors also came to America with Lafayette. My g-great grandfather was Isaac Garmoe. My family has an original obituary of one of his sons that states that his grandfather came to America with Lafayette and that the name was De Garmeaux There several spellings of the name that I have found. These include GARMO, GARMOE, GARMORE, GARMOUR, GARMOX. My known ancestor was Garmo most of the time but I have found him and his sons and daughters by different spellings of the name. Message #2 is the second time that I have heard of ancestors coming to America with Lafayette. I would certainly like to get this puzzle solved.

(several like entries in France, England and Holland) (An Italian rider competes in La Baule on a horse bearing the name Facom de Garmeaux) ENRICO MARIA FRANA - ITA 202 - FACOM DE GARMEAUX - 0.00 35.67 800 www.eme.asso.fr/eme/eleves/annuaire/annupromo.PDF Someone living in the hamlet of Germeaux passed his BTS in 1999 : PRIMAULT Thomas - BTS 1999 – Garmeaux - 35230 - Saint Armel http://webvilles.org/webvilles/035/035.HTM As the « de » in a family name indicates appartenance to a place, FYI, Germeaux is in the French region of Brittany, in the department of Ile et Vilaine (35) and in the commune of BOURGBARRE. Chances are there is some attractive old property in a hamlet (« lieu-dit ») by the name of Garmeaux. |

Spelling Explanation: GArmeaux not GErmeaux in my last answer. Also re the last webref : that the property which no doubt exists in the lieu-dit of Garmeaux is no doubt the one where the shitorical seat of teh family lies. |
