Frederick seems to be confused on his nationallity. Although, Miller may have been an anglized name for him... what is Miller in German... could his family have come from Germany to England and then to Canada. I understand from my own Germain ancestors in the 1700's, that they could immigrate to England but not directly to North America... so many times, they went to England for a few years
first.... Ellen

So another discrepancy, this time in the mother's name. There is no family record for this couple, only a couple record with one daughter listed (Charlotte, not Felicite).

Perhaps, Frederick conquered a woman's heart rather than a country and decided to reside in his lady love's country. But then, that romantic scenario doesn't account for the "Lallemand." If anyone has any understanding about this, I would love to know that, too.
