Thread: Re: New Member

This is my first posting, so hopefully it is going to the right place. Have only been doing research since December 2007, however have managed to garner much information on both sides of my family.



My two main research names are 'Langlois', my surname and 'Coates', my mother's maiden name.



The Langlois clan I have found so far date back to early 1700's in London to a French Huguenot family - father Daniel with children Anne, Izaac, Gedeon, Pierre and Henry. Pierre Langlois subsequently becoming a renowned 'ebeniste' French cabinet-maker, his furniture now worth a fortune. It can be found a number of internet auction sites and much of it is displayed in museums and stately homes in the UK.



My main other research name is 'Coates'. To date I have managed to extend it back to Henry (Samuel Henry) Coates born in 1820 in Syresham, Northamptonshire, son of Thomas Coates and Catherine. Henry married a Charlotte West in 1842. Charlotte was the daughter of William West and Ann Spencer.



Anyway, enough for my first post. I live in a lovely place called Sunnybank which is stuated on the southside of Brisbane, in sunny Queensland, Australia.

G'Day Michael

Its good to have you with "us". I'm very new to this game as well, but with the unreal help that abounds on site I'm sure there will be some kind soul that will have all the answers. I notice that you live in Sunny Queensland, I used to live around the corner from you in Alexandra Hills but moved to the peace and quite of the country, Laidley.
