Fergus Docmini Morand and I are both descendants of Charles Antoine de Morand, one of the earliest French colonists in Louisiana. He originally came from Auquemesnil near Rouen, France. D'Auquemesnil was sometimes appended to the name and eventually it became corrupted amongst his descendants to Docmini or Docminie. There is a bit of information about Auquemesnil on Wikipedia:

I would love to hear from anyone who is a member of the Docmini Morand family and descendants, -Alan
