-------------------------

MY GGGGRANDFATHER (1780'S) CHANGED SPELLING OF HIS NAME.
WE THINK HE WAS FRENCH BUT CAME HERE FROM NETHERLANDS AS HIS FAMILY WAS
UNDER SOME KIND OF RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL PERSECUTION. MY ANCESTER WAS
NAMED HENRY NAPOLEON BERRONG (SP?) AND HAD A BROTHER NAMED WILLIAM BONAPARTE?
BERRONG (SP?). IT IS TOLD THEY WERE KIDNAPPED AND BROUGHT TO THE COAST
OF S. CAROLINA WHERE THEY GOT SEPERATED. SOMETHING ABOUT HIDING UNDER THE
STEPS OF A PORCH. THE BOYS WERE EDUCATED BECAUSE MY ANCESTOR BECAME A TEACHER.
HE LIVEd TO BE 100 YEARS OLD. I KNOW ABOUT THE END OF HIS LIFE JUST NEED
HELP WITH THE BEGINNING.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP.
