I found this in his profile. So, I wonder why they are still linked as spouses? Does anyone know?
"In 1947 Herbert F. Seversmith wrote an article "Ariaentje Cuvilje (Adrienne Cuvellier), Matriarch of New Amsterdam," published in National Genealogical Society Quarterly 35:65-69. An extended account is in his Colonial Families of Long Island, New York, and Connecticut, vol. 2 (1951), pp. 847-63, with additions at 2:1032-33, 3:1467, 4:1980-82.

Recent research has uncovered considerably more information, as revealed in Dorothy Koenig and Pim Nieuwenhuis, "The Pedigree of Cornelia Roos, an Ancestor of Franklin D. Roosevelt," New Netherland Connections [NNC] 2(1997):85-93, 3(1998):1:1-5, correction 3:2:34-35. See also William J. Parry et al, answers to queries, NNC 1(1996):4:95-97. Koenig and Nieuwenhuis (2:1:2) indicate that Adrienne's husband's name was Ghislain Vigne or Vigné, not Guillaume as previously thought. Like Zabriskie, the NNC authors agree that the Vigne family had to be among those who first came over in 1624, and that the Labadists had erred in implying that Jan Vigne was born in New Netherland in 1614.

The Vignes quickly died out in the male line, and later descendants are to be found in accounts of other surnames."

Hi Lisa, I have not come across the Roosevelt connection in my searching around. I am through the Vanderburg or Magdalena Knight or Knightrider? line I think. How are you related.

Private User they are still linked as husband and wife because it is a fact, the debate is over whether the husband's given name was Ghislain or Guillaume.

If you look closely at William Vigne you will see that he has the names English:William Vigne, French: Guillaume Vigné, Dutch: Willem Vienje as well as numerous variants in the AKA field.

Here is an existing discussion on Mr. Vigne's name William Vigne

Alex,
Thank you for your help in this part of my tree. :-)

Donna,
It turns out there was a mistake in my tree, which Alex helped me fix.
As I result, I learned that I am not related to either of the profiles mentioned in this discussion.
