Pierre Serre Perigord France
Posted by: v. suzanne sears (ID *****1949) Date: February 18, 2009 at 07:53:10

If one tracks Pierre de Serre as potentially being Pierre Sirre
all the way back to Perigord France, in the 24330 and close region postal codes of today

one indeed does find a Pierre as a candidate
where all is known of him is that
he dies before 1725
no wife
no children

which is exactly what we are looking for in a man who left for Canada

For this to happen, it means he shows up in the community: could be many ways up until 1725: even possibly listed as "brother of......." at a funeral: thus not requiring him to physically be there........but after that all trace is lost.....
that could be he was simply forgotten after such a long time
or
that his family knew he had died: but not in his home town....

Now this large family ALWAYS wrote their name
DE LA SERRE
and previous to that (and some today) as
D'ABZAC DE LA SERRE

D'Abzac is a castle located north of Perigord: actually in Poitou regions........

and this family had roots to this area as far back as 1100.a.d.

They were fierce supporters of the English during their occupations of this region......

If we find out Pierre Sirre is actually Pierre de la Serre it would be worth tracking this data down.
