Mireault Date: December 10, 1999 at 04:30:51 In Reply to: Re: Mireault,Mirault,Mireau by Richard Amerault of 310 Richard, I have heard that there are two reasons. First the French had a tradition of changing their last name when they got a new start (ie:moved to a new area & therefore dropped the "A"). Secondly of course was illiteracy. Those copying or writing the name incorrectly spelled it. Followups: Re: Mireault,Mirault,Mireau Miro, Amiro, F.
