Our Perilloux Family

Jean Perillou & Jeanne Martin


Many thanks to cousins Harold Jacobs and Sheldon Perilloux, two wonderful and dedicated researchers who provided much of the information on this page, but are not responsible for my errors.

Page created in 1997, counter added on 21 Jul 1999, revised 21 Mar 2001, links checked 12 Nov 2006.

Every effort has been made to be accurate, but I'm sure errors, typos and incorrect information abound. Please use this information as a guide to further research and let me know if there are corrections/additions that need to be made.

Like many early pioneers, the Perillouxs married their neighbors, so you will find many connections to other German Coast families. Bold print indicates my direct Perilloux line; + indicates another generation of the family on this page.
