| My name is Russell brennan I was adopted and my original
last name was beaupre with the little slash thingy over the e I think.
Anyways I know my family is from the Massachusetts area and possibly the
Louisiana area. Beyond that not to sure about any thing else I do have a
relative Richard beaupre. But were would be a good place to try to start
tracing back my name as there are so many branches of it it seems any help
would be wonderful. |

My father is a descendant of the Bassett family of
Beaupre Castle. We have traced them back to the 1600's with parish registers
etc.
There is some wonderful information on the various Bassett line at the
following web site.
www.bassettbranches.org They are involved in
researching the DNA lines of the Bassett families. the information on this
site has given me DNA evidence linking my Bassett's back to the 900's |

Wright via their son Nicolas. I am in Missouri, US. I would like
to contact those on your site hunting the same bloodlines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

| Dear Mike the webmaster, I have seen some email
messages on your site enquiring after the genealogy of the de Beaupre and
Wright and Bell families who occupied Beaupre Hall at Outwell, Norfolk from
1420-1750. There should be no confusion with Beaupre Castle in Wales, shown
in magnificent photos on your site. The old hall in Norfolk was demolished
in 1966.
Your sincerely, |
Richard Barnes (also interested in the Bell family from
Beaupre Hall) |

Hi Mike-
My daughter told me of your website found while
researching our ancestry. We are descendants of Nicholas Wright and
Anne Beaupre through my great grandmother, Ida Frances Wright. I was
especially interested in the posting by Donald Macer-Wright and would be
delighted to hear more about the Beaupre family. We've just begun to
search, so any information he can give us would be most appreciated.
Your photographs are wonderful. I get wanderlust just
looking at them! Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

We are looking for family history on the
family of Zoa Margaret Beaupre, this is my husband's Gr. Gr. Gr.
Grandmother. She was born somewhere we believe in France May 12,
1812..............came to Canada around 1829 and married a sea captain
by the name of George Selleck Nov. 8, 1829. Then they moved to
Wisconsin. I found your web site and thought I'd give it a shot. If you
would happen to know of her we would really appreciate hearing about it.
Thank you,

Hi. My name is Aaron Beaupre. I just recently got
interested in finding out more about my family history, and I stumbled
across this page. I thought I'd drop a line and see if anyone out there
knows any of my branch. My father is Keith Beaupre, his father is the
late Moses. We all originated in Connecticut, but my father and I are
now in South Carolina. As far as I know, my branch has been in the US
since before the singing of the Constitution, but came from the Montreal
area before.
Any info would be great, and I hope this question, oddly
enough, answers someone's question.

Hello,

Norfolk in England and Alan is one of 2 brothers , the other whom is named
Paul, their dad is also Alan, who was the son of Albert and May or Maise
Beaupre whom lived in Feltham, middlesex in England.

Hello, I live in Devon and
happened upon your website with the various queries regarding the Beaupre
family.
My mother's family originated
in Cornwall (formerly from France in 10??) they were the Ive/ Fitz Ive
family who owned land down in West Cornwall, near Penzance. I found a church
in St. Just (near St. Ives and Penzance) and in the church (according to the
website I found) the Fitz Ive family, Beaupre and Bray family (maybe they
became one family as they intermarried quite a bit) it mentions a manor and
land so they must have been quite wealthy in those days.
If you do a "google" search
on the Fitz Ive name you will find the two webpages I found...West Penwith
Resources - St.Just-in-Penwith (west-penwith.org.uk/justpic2.htm) and
homepages.tesco.net/k.wasley/Just_Penzance.htm - 12k.
I was doing a google on the
Beaupre name when I came across your website - I was hoping to find out a
little more of the 3 families as they apparently intermarried.
Hope that helps, there are a
large number of Bray families in Devon and Somerset some of which I know of
-that could be where the name has changed along the way. My mother's family
have changed theirs to plain 'Ive' from 'Fitz Ive' which just meant son of
Ive.
Thought that might be of some
interest to the people who sent the messages on your site. |

Dear Mike,
This evening I visited your site and found it most interesting.
The real reason I visited was to find out about Beaupré, as my husband
sings with the Beaupré Singers and yesterday we had a wonderful picnic
lunch and performance by the singers in the castle. It was all very
informal; the choir sang six songs and then we had our picnic and then
this was followed by six more songs. All directed by James Bull. The
setting was superb and the weather was perfect.

Hi, my Father was evacuated to Beaupré during
the second world war, he was only 5 at the time. Unfortunately he died a
few years ago but he went back to the farmhouse regularly to visit the
family in the years after the war, and then sporadically in later years.
He spoke about the Castle / Mansion regularly, I can only imagine it was a
wonderful place to spent the war!
I believe the family were Llewelyns, and the
Father of the family 'Henry Tudor'? He owned three fields, one for each of
his daughters, one of which my mother still stays in touch with, she's 80
odd now.
I found the info on your site interesting, If
I find out anything more interesting I will be in touch.

| Hallo Mike I have been researching the
Beaupres of Beaupre Hall, Outwell. As you will no doubt know the Wrights of
Oyster Bay, Long Island descended from Nicholas Wright,eldest son of
Nicholas Wright and Anne Beaupre, the eldest of Sir Edmund's daughters. I
have been researching the Wrights of Cambridgeshire (Fulbourn, Soham and the
Shelfords) who I believe are descended from the Kilverstone Wrights via
William Wright ygst son of Nicholas And Anne Beaupre. I am particularly
fascinated by the Beaupre family and their illustrious history and their
spectacular marriages.
Very little appears to be documented about this family and if you have
any source refs on their history I would be keen to compare notes.
Anything to start with on Beaupre Hall and Beaupre Castle. I assume but
maybe wrongly that the Castle in Glamorgan was named from the Family.
However if it was from the monastic house of Beaupre the Place then that
assumption would be wrong. Is Beaupre a place in Normandy and if so where? |
