Landie dit Lesperance Cousins in France
Aloha, Got back last night from a delightful 4 weeks in France. Prior to going there I had looked up all of the Landie's who live in the departement of Lot-et-Garonne and invited 17 to a breakfast reunion in Agen, the largest city near the city where my Lesperance ancestor orginated. Nine repsonded and 20 Landie's representing 8 families attended my 14 April 2000 reunion which was 2 days after I celebrated my 70th birthday in France. What an event!! Last week in Paris I met another probable distant cousin who is going to send me her line back 5 generations. I feel optimistic about making a connection. So those of you who are defintely of the Landie dit Lesperance line, stay in touch. I visited the village of Dolmayrac and the hamlet of Ramounet where the line originated. I have photos of the village and of the reunion, and will be receiving photos of the hamlet. Best, Jerry Lesperance
