Researching Sophie Josephine Ghislaine De Brigode m. Jean/ John Baptiste Wittebort. Their son was Jean/John Baptiste Wittebort. (Flemish name Witterbort/Wittebort/Witterbord?)
Think that this Jean B. Witterbord/Wittebort had four sons: Emile # 2, 1849 below,Jean Baptiste #6, 1847 below, my ancestor, Floriemond and Leopold. They all came to US in 1881 and listed as Witterbords in Germans to America series.
Now the family legend has it that an Emile Wittebort was the father of these four sons to US and that he had an island off of the coast of France. Further research leads us to the story above though. That Jean & Sophie had a son Jean and that he had the four sons.
All were glassworkers. Jean B. #6 was a Master Teaser.
I am sorry that I don't have a date for the earlier generations or more info on Sophie.
