Comments: For Jess BERGERON:

Enjoyed the latest Terrebonne Life Lines. Just a remark or two about the surname VICE.

The German for white is weiss, which is pronounced vice by Germanic speaking folks.

The French word for white is blanc.

It is well-known that the French scribes of yore in Louisiana Francoized many German names. e.g. ZWEIG became LABRANCHE, STEIGER became ESTAIRE, BUERCKLE changed into PERCLE, and that old standby ACHTZIGER is now QUATREVINGT.

The various spellings of the names depended upon the degree of literacy of the scribes, as well as the pronunciations of the names as they heard them. You have found quite a few variations in your VICE research! Good job!

Best regards,
Henry BROWNLEE
