MADAM DE VALCOURT

Quite by accident I received an e-mail from a gentleman in France referring me to some records on Steve's ancestor, Madam DeValcourt.  We've had a picture of her for years, but it turn out that there is yet another by a famous artist known as Carmontelle.  The new "find" inspired me to gather all the information on Madam and publish a book.  It's at Lulu.com.  I became fascinated with the life of Madam when I realized that her husband, his father and grandfather all served in the courts of Louis IV to VI and that the couple probably visited Versailles and certainly lived in Paris during the French Revolution.  The book includes all the facts from my database and to put some meat on the bones I wrote a narrative.  What fun.

Now I have the prize of all prizes sent to me by Gene Lockwood son of Martha Lockwood.  Here are the pictures of Sieur Jean DeValcourt as well as Alexandre the couple's son.  You can learn all about them by visiting my web page at
