Comments: Stokes (Nee: ) | France ? | 1851-1900 | Comments: My grandmother gave me these tin-type images. On the back she scratched they were her great-grandparents (my 3x great-grandparents). In papers she wrote they were Matthew and Elizabeth Stokes from France. I have tried to confirm the information including hiring a genealogist from Ancestor Seekers Family History Research Service but no success. I have sketchy information about their son Matthew Mathias (christiened James) Stokes born in 1858. The 1880 census lists his place of birth as Maine. Another member on Ancestry said he was born in France or at sea which seems plausible if it is true his parents were from France. The genealogist could not find a positive lead for him before 1880. I am at a brick wall. I am going to be in France in August 2016 and I was really hoping I would find out my family has roots in France and could perhaps find records for ancestors.
