thank you Martin.
I looked at the familysearch.org database and found that the name Saint Leon
occurred several times in St Amand, Toul, Meurthe-Et-Moselle. So that may
well be where the family came from. Also found a Saint Leon married to a
Bertin.
My Sarah Arabin who married de St Leon was the dau. of a Bertin mother so
there may be a family connection.
Shirley
