Denis Gacquin b. 1817 / Gauckwin?
Hello to all you Gacquins - my mother's surname is Gauckwin - which I have been researching a liitle lately - it seems that the gacquins/gauckwins are from the same roots. My great-grandfather Michael Gauckwin, son of Thomas gauckwin and Mary Kane was born in the Ballinasloe are of East galway in about 1878, he emigrated with several siblings to England around 1900. His grandfather was Denis Gacquin born in around 1817.
Does anyone recognise this?? and can you provide any further information. I'm happy to share all the stuff I've found with you.
Cheers!
