Descendants of Silvester Le Maistre

From Jerripedia

Descendants of Sylvestre Le Maistre

The upper section of this tree was first published in 1999 in abridged form in Grouville – The History of a Country Parish. The tree was first included in Jerripedia in 2010 and enlarged the following year. Extra details - particularly dates - were added in 2018, based on a submitted tree, the whole tree was further reviewed twice in 2019, when more details and a new descendant line were added ^[1]

The tree still presents a number of unresolved problems: Later research has cast doubt on the descent from Sylvestre to four successive Jeans shown in the book, but we have now reverted to that descent, showing the second Jean married twice, to Priscilla Gasnier and Marguerite Bichard, followed by a son Jean married to Marie Vibert.

We have been able to resolve some of the problems surrounding George at generation 4 in the lower half of the tree.

The submitted tree shows Philip Le Maistre at generation 8 having two wives, but the dates given for the marriages and baptisms of children are clearly wrong, so we have ignored the suggested marriage to Marie Le Gresley and shown only the one child of the marriage to Elizabeth Le Masurier in whom we have reasonable confidence. However, as this branch of the family is shown living continuously in St Ouen, we are suspicious about the Le Maistre-Le Masurier marriage having been in Grouville, where a separate branch of the family was established

A further review in 2022 resulted in the addition of extra details and a descent from Adolphus at Gen 9

Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

Notes and references

↑ The 2019 review was conducted by Jerripedia editor Mike Bisson, whose company published the Grouville millennium book in 1999: 'Although I was already heavily involved in family history research at the time, I was not responsible for editing the book's content, and this important family tree, as published, was sadly lacking in the level of detail which Jerripedia users have come to expect. The tree submitted later to enlarge on it was littered with errors. I am pleased 20 years after it was originally published to be able to fill in some of the gaps, and correct some remaining errors.'

↑ George is shown in the submitted tree as having a first marriage to Magdeleine Le Maistre, with children Philippe, Thomas, Marie and Esther. This, however, appears to confuse George with his son, who married Magdeleine Hamon, and had children of those names, who, together with others, have been added to the tree in the next generations
