Question:

Where were your ancestors during the French Revolution.?

They must have been some where.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The family most impacted by the French Revolution lived in Paris, Ile de Paris. They got out in 1830 and resettled on the shores of Lake St. Clair in a French-Canadian pioneer community. Antoine was a butcher from Paris and a became a farmer and township clerk in the US.

The other family living through the Revolution was living in Meurthe-et-Moiselle, province of Lorraine. They didn't leave until 1849 when they were exiled for being related to an extremely influential author who criticized the Regime and rocked the boat too hard.

The rest were in Ile de Miquelon et St-Pierre, Quebec, Noord-Brabant, West Prussia and Switzerland.
