David--

DELIGHTED to have you here!!! Not only because I am a DuBOIS descendant,
but because I am a huge fan of Charles Baird's work.

I will address the DuBois questions, and leave it to others to address
the others.

I tend to classify the American DuBOIS' as follows:

1) Descendants of Chretien DuBois who settled in the New Paltz, New
York, Kingston, Staten Island, etc.; and

2) The rest of us.

Given that 1) your DuBois was likely in New York, and 2) the first
category above far outweighs the second in terms of numbers and
research, you'd be well off to subscribe to the DuBois-L list and
posting your query there. I am forwarding this to Tim Quinn who started
this list and who is very helpful on lookups.

Another list for the DuBois' is the Dubose-L list which still welcomes
us orphaned DuBois' not yet connected to Chretien's lines. The Dubose-L
list is a good place also if you think any branch of the family might
have landed south of the Mason-Dixon, especially South Carolina.

As for web sites, there are many (lucky you!) for the New York DuBois'.
One that I'll mention is a DuBois Family Association link at:

Good luck!
