I am related to George Shoults (Schultz) and Victoire Tesson through their son John Baptiste Shoults.Vitoire's parent was Louis Tesson dit Honore.I am researching their lines.It sounds like there is a lot of genealogy already in place.Any recommendation on where the best source might be to bring me up to speed?I live in St. Louis and have access to many of the family church data recordings from Old Cathedral and St. Mary & Joseph Parish (Carondolet area).
Early (~1800)signatures by family indicate spelling of Shoults or Shoultz, later anglicized to Schultz or similar.Does anyone know where Shoults came from?He married into a very tight French community in St. Louis in 1797.Would expect a source in France, but name sounds German.
