Hi,
I'm new here (to this forum, and others), so I didn't see this when it was posted last year... BUT...
Lore, Laure,
Lord, L'Or is all one family, descendants of
Julien Laure dit
Lamontagne, they all lived in Acadia, all Angliscised their name because of British influence, if he moved to
Maine while they were "
Lore" it must have stuck, there seemed to be a progression and variations on spellings depending on sources, I suspect this is because they could not read.
In the late 1800's, most of them in Quebec are named
Lord. Some even have
English names.
Write to me if you want to know more, there are
TONS on your family from Acadia, however I can only barely scratch the surface. There's a genealogist who I have not been able to contact yet who wrote 500 pages of
Lords.
Cheers,
Colleen
