After researching in
Dutch birth/marriage archives in
Amsterdam I found out that my forefather
Jaques du Bois came from Elbing / Elblag. He was married to Johanna
Sophia Wilson.
He had at least one son named Charles
Henri du Bois, born around 1780 in Elbing and moved to
Amsterdam around 1800.
This summer I am planning a trip to Elblag, but If anymore has more information about this family, please let me know.
If it can help anyone, there was a lot of traffic between the harbours of Elblag,
Amsterdam,
Bordeaux and
Cadiz (France)
