Vallery?--Is it Connected to Valliere?
Dear Friends and Family,
Can anyone be so kind as to assist me in discerning if the surname: "Vallery" came from the Valliere line (reportedly?), or is it a distinct separate family.Ran across one relative who spelled it as "Vallery" (most of whom I find in the Louisiana parishes, originally "Arcadians").I am searching for a Valliere (Vallery) who married Jacob Klaus in New York (City, 1860's) and had a daughter Matilda (10/15/1895). This daughter is my grandmother. She carries the "Algonquin" (Algonkin) Metis blood through the Valliere line (trader and Algonquin maiden whose father was a "storyteller" (ancient wisdom keeper, shaman) of this tribal band (circa 1820ish?).I am within the 7th generation of this Algonquin ancestry.
I would DEEPLY appreciate anyone with ANY information they believe to be authentic, whether oral history or not.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
Sincerely,
Paul (Valliere) Burke
