• Residence: 1823-1848, Dombrot-sur-Vair, Vosges, FR

Notes:

This family picked up the surname Gerard in occasional use. We suspect it began with the birth of daughter Christine, the first child born in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. The clerk at Baccarat called both father André and his witness Joseph ‘Gérard.’ While André signed with an ‘x’, indicating he was illiterate, Joseph very clearly signed ‘Joseph Schrag.’

This mixup of Gerard for Schrag would continue until April 11, 1863, when Christophe Schrag (a son of André’s brother Christian/Christophe) made a grievance at a public meeting of the civil tribunal in District 2 of the department of Meuse. He explained that the persistent error could only be explained by poor pronunciation of the word Gerard. This resulted in a lengthy remark inserted in the civil records of Chassey, detailing all the family events that had been misidentified because of it.

On April 11, 1852, he recorded that "I settled my accounts with my son-in-law Christian Schrag."
