A few years ago, Dennis Tourville (now deceased) made me so happy when he sent me this picture of Pascal Lewis Tourville, born in 1839, in Florissant, Missouri. Pascal is the first cousin once removed of Jesse Herndon Tourville and the grandson of Toussaint Tourville who left Lachenaie around 1790 to settle near St. Louis, Missouri. I’m not sure that picture is a photograph. Is it an illustration or a photo that was colorized or something? No matter what, I am really glad to know what Pascal Lewis looked like!

Statistics

Letter P:  almost 3% for the Hubou-Tourvilles’ first names.

Pascal was very popular for the Missouri line. Lots of Peter! And we have Prosper, Philibert and few Pierre. For the women, Philomène is in first place followed by Pamela, Perpétue, Pierrette and Priscilla.

Kind of Funny

Perpétue is not my favorite.
