Hi Earl...
I have been doing some heavy duty research regarding the family tree....The Napoleonic Wars, Cuba, Haiti, DR and what happened.
First of all I have always pronounced my name Luh-Moan-Yay...the French pronunciation.Well I found out that my ggg grandfather was born in Cuba and many people are pronouncing it differently.I am so very sure that it was tied to Cuba because I found his great grandson's grave and the other plots surrounding him were of Hispanic dissent.Learned a lot about slavery in the Caribbean and how The French Spanish and English were involved from early on.
Also you can check at Vincennes a professor told me that they have very complete records.
As I journey through my research I will look out for the LeBon name and kindly do the same for me...LeMonier.
Keep in Touch
