Research Note

Marguerite Grabert is listed as 'Marguerite Christian'--reflecting her father's given name -- in many Louisiana records cited below; she also appears under the names 'Greber' in her marriage record; 'Creber' in her daughter Helen's marriage record; 'Crebe' in her daughter Catherine's marriage record; and she is 'Marie Crebre' in her son Philippe's marriage record. Her sister is also listed as 'Greber' in her own marriage record. The French national priests, and later the Spanish ones, had to communicate with various German, French, and Spanish dialects, as well as American and Irish English. Using a "foreign" person's father's given name as a dit name instead of their surname was not uncommon. Dit names are appropriately placed in WikiTree name data fields as "nicknames," "other last names," or "current last name," according to usage. In her case she is called "Marguerite" with "Christian" or "Christiana" as a last name-- which is why it is included with "other last names" data.
