I have the family tree of Le Roy from La Rochelle. Esther, not 1654 but 1652, christening 9-9-1652, married 20-9-1673 with Gabriel Bernon.

• Her parents: Francois Le Roy, born abt 1620 La Rochelle and Esther Moquay -
• The parents of Francois: Daniel Roy, born abt 1590 and Esther Thomas, born abt 1590 La Rochelle.
  • Profession of Daniel: lawyer.
• Profession Francois: super-intendent of police.

I'm from Gaspard Le Roy the brother of Francois. I have the tree from the Dutch family, perhaps can you help me for other information. Thanks! Ger Leroy.
