This website is all very interesting.
I understand Alix is an ancient name that dates back to the indomitable Gauls, holdouts from the Roman Empire era.
My mother Yvonne Marie Alix emigrated from France to New York in 1950.Her father was Henri Alix, an Admiral in the French Navy.He compiled a family tree going back to an Alix who was a mathematician back in the 1600's. I have extensive family connections all over France, Germany and Belgium.If you have any information on Toussaint's roots in France I'd like to see if there's a connection.
