Hi Wendy Try the familysearch website. Parish records for the area could show you children with parents of the right names. Someone could have them on a tree on Ancestry. or you could put a posting on rootschat, or you could 'Google' them - you never know what that might bring up. Judi

Thanks Girls for your help with the Desforges, they are new to me in my TREE so I have abit to go on now, to keep me busy, I think they originated from France. Now to find out how they came into my family, it will be interesting to find someone else who is researching the same name. Best Wishes, Thanks Wendy R
