The Name LeDosquet

Joe and family,
Heather showed me how to get into your BLOG. This will be a short lesson on the name LeDosquet. The original name in Belgium was Dosquet. One of our Dosquet family won favor with the king of Belgium and was given a grant of land (all land in the kingdom was owned by the king). With the grant of land came a title and Dosquet became known as LeDosquet ( Le meaning The). Where all capital letters are used the name should be spelled LE DOSQUET.
When Adolph Hitler came into power he banished all titles so the name LeDosquet became
Ledosquet. The German LeDosquets are just now going back to the original spelling LeDosquet.
When your grandmother and I were in Europe the first time we drove down to Belgium with Gerd LeDosquet and met the family of Ludwig Dosquet. They are on our family tree and spoke French. We also have the genalogy of the Dosquets and LeDosquets back to the year 1300. Be sure to pass this on to your family, especially the boys who will carry this name on to future generations. More later, GPA LeDosquet 11/28/07
