Description

a brief history The family fled from their lands in the north eastern part of france, probably around Nancy, because of religious persecution. they were protestants in a predominantly Roman Catholic france. They fled to the German part of Alsace-Lorrain that was Protestant. part of the family decided to brave the dangers of france and went back to their lands where they were killed. the other part moved deeper into Germany, probably Nagold for greater protection. in 1844, surviving members of the family came to the United States, entering at New York Harbor. then moved up the coast to Utica, New York. that then became the base for most of the family, but since wwii, some family has moved South to New York city, New Jersey, Florida, the Carolinas, California, in fact, all over the face of USA and even to Australia. early history The earliest ancestor we were able to identify with Roger d'Aprix and Margaret Ernest d'Aprix's help is duc Philippe Isadore d'Aprix. he is a direct descendant. That is unitl the summer of 2006 when I received an email from a very, very distant cousin, Cyrille de LA BARRE de NANTEUIL who is distantly related to Suzanne APRIX de VIMONT (1638-1686) and set me straight due to his extensive research of his own family. Apparently, the first d'Aprix's came from Wales. He lays it out so well I will just quote from his email:- In "Évocation du passé familial" (Dinard, 1946), Gaston de CAQUERAY wrote that the APRIX family came from Walles to Calais, in Northern France (beside the English Channel), that his pedigree begins in 1406 and that the family was extincted in 1895.
