A very nice discovery this week was another DENORMANDIE.

She was SARAH DENORMANDIE. She was the daughter of JOHN ABRAHAM DENORMANDIE and ELIZA P. ATKINSON. SARAH married
JAMES W. REMICK. I found them in GOOGLE Books while searching for an item on my 4-great grandmother SARAH (DENORMANDIE) PETER ABERCROMBIE. My tip for the day is to keep searching in GOOGLE books.
New items are added there all the time. I have had fantastic finds from this fabulous resource. Here is book item found. Census researched verified who SARAH was and how she fit into the family of Descendants of ANDRE DENORMANDIE of Bucks County, PA.
