Hello,

Welcome to the Simpier Name Study. The surnames associated with this name Study are Simpier, Champoux (apparently originating from this common surname), dit St-Pair and Semper. The purpose of the Simpier One-Name-Study project is to provide a central and open access place in Wikitree for members who wish to collaborate in researching the Surname Simpier regardless of where those Simpier’s were born or in what era they lived. There are many alternate spellings of the name Simpier (e.g. St-Pair, Semper, etc.) For the time being this study is focused only on the Simpier surname itself and others with these various similar surnames may join us if they wish or begin their own Name Study. If you would like to join the Study please contact the project leader Andrew Simpier or post a comment to the right. If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks!
