I found an old book about the Le Conte, Bourbons etc.  Unfortunately, my French is as Rusty as heck.  Can someone who does read French, please have a look and see if there are any links that might fill in some blanks for the family,  DeGraaf, et al.  Thanks so much, I do not know how to put this profile under France so that more info can be found by kind souls...but anything you can help with would be great.  Note this has been a family that may say is a hoax, so it is time to find the truth.  Blessings to all of you for your help! T.

It's on the profile page, scroll down to link #6.  That will take you to the book.

Le Due de Bombon.) Louis the. Duc de Bourbon was born of Robert Comte de Clermont, a fourth son of St. Louis. It was in favor of this Prince that Charles the Fair, the last year of his Regne, erected in Duchy & Pairie the Barony of Bourbon 8C to reunite several other lands to be jointly occupied by Louis 8C by his Successors under the title of Duke of Bourbon.[6]

Comte or leComte in the context of Michel LeCompte is a surnme.  In the context of Robert Comte de Clermont, this translates to Robert, Duke of Clermont.  The two likley have as much similarity as Martin Luther King to Edward, King of England.

Unfortunately, I don't think that this record relates to this person.

Relatives count though. For research. Anyway... I was not asking about that English comment. I was asking about item 6, in the  Profile... The google book in French.  I would like  any clues from it.  It's OK I will find someone. Thanks. L
