About a Family Turcq
Here follow some data J-P Turque (Frenchman) found about a family Turcq:
This family was very close to the King court because it seems that Christian
was soldier in Versailles. It seems also that this man was from Switzerland.
I have to verify but I think that to be part of a 'regiment suisse', you
must come from switzerland.
Christian TURCQ ( born ? death between 1728 and 1733) 'Suisse' (soldier)
Married with Marie MARGUERITE TIRABOLA ( born ? death 1737)
They had 10 children
Catherine TURCQ born 1692 death ?
Joseph Christian TURCQ born 1693 death ?
Marie Marguerite TURCQ born 1695 death ?
Jacques TURCQ born 1698 death ?
Françoise Renée TURCQ born 1700 death 1700 (16 days)
Jean Léonard TURCQ born 1704 death ?
Louis TURCQ born 1706 *
Jean-Jacques TURCQ born 1709 death 1711
Louise TURCQ born 1712 death 1789
Marie Anne TURCQ born 1714
* Louis TURCQ married in 1734 with Ildeverde MARTIN ( born 1711 death ?)
1 children
Nicolas TURCQ born 1735 death ?
This man was beheaded (guillotined ?) because he fought against the
republican army after the revolution.
Louis TURCQ Soldier , from Bergues-St-Vinox Departement of Nord was
condemned to death penalty on may 14th 1793 by a military court in ARRAS .
This man spent some times in a military hospital in Paris.
Christian TURCQ ALEMAND was received in hotel des invalides in fébruary 2nd
1719.
It seems that this man was belonging to a country (Suabe) which was may be
under the french control at this time or he was a mercenary.
So I think that ALEMAND was not a part of his name but a mention of his
nationalty. A German in french is 'un allemand'.
A lot of soldier ! !
