Welcome.
This Genealogy would not have been possible to place on the
Texas Tortilla Factory web site without all the years of research and
digging through Court House Records, writing to relatives for information,
interviewing of countless relatives, and the compiling of information into
a meaningful whole, all of which was done by my oldest Brother
Kenneth C. Vauthier. My Sincere Thanks to him for all his hard work.
( To view the Family Genealogy click on the picture below (Last Update : July 15, 2010).)
I have recently added information for Cline, Choat, Ragland, and Goodnight families to our Genealogy.
If you are looking, more information on Vauthier Family Name, and varients there of, can be found searching various genealogy Sites such as Ancestory.com, and the French Genealogie.com.
Best,
Mike
By the way, although there are no direct links, there are quite a few Vauthier's there also.
Dad and Mom's Relatives' Birthplaces are the "Relative Path". It is all relative anyway when you think about it.
The Map below is LIVE / INTERACTIVE, Instructions are below in the Yellow Box, if needed.

I found it interesting that in some cases our ancestors lived a few counties/provinces apart, not realizing the ultimate merger of their families years later. For Example, Moritz Klien (Cline) was born in Steinsel, Germany ( this just north of the capital of the present country of Luxembourg ). Just over the border in France are the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Sometimes this region is refered to as Alsace-Lorraine.
Moritz's wife Anna Catharina Marzloff, was born in Postroff, and his son Johann Sabastien Klien was born in the town of Hirschland, both located in the province of Alsace.
My Great Grandfather Charles Vincent Vauthier ( and other Vauthier's) was born in the province of Lorraine, France.
There are similar cases with our relatives in America. Check out Ira Octavis Hurt, who is my Great Great Grandfather, and close proximity he had with Bouchers in Missouri.
Have Fun,
Mike

Let me begin by thanking all those who have contributed to the Texas Tortilla Factory, with their stories, photos, information, etc.
Especially for the Genealogy Data provided by my oldest Brother Kenneth C. Vauthier. If not for all his hard work,
this Genealogy would not have been possible to place on the
Texas Tortilla Factory web site. I could never replace all the years of research and
digging through Court House Records, writing to relatives for information,
interviewing of countless relatives, and the compiling of information into
a meaningful whole.
