Welcome to the Family Tree of Karen Nichols-Rexwall

My paternal lines: Fountain (Fontaine) / Nichols, and maternallines: Fernandes / de Aguiar, and related families. This is also acompilation of several Fontaine families of the north of Francewhich I am convinced are related to each other. One of these days Imight be able to link them all up. This is also a compilationof families possibly belonging to the ancient Scottish ClanMacnicol.

Please note: you will find many instances of "nn" or "NN"appearing in place of a person's given and/or surname. This is anabbreviation of "Nomen Nescio" (Latin) which means"Name Not Known".

The amount of data compiled would not have been possible withoutthe collaboration of many researchers. It is not possible to nameall here but I would like to acknowledge the major contributors asfollows:

- Branch de la Fontaine de Fontenay (Seigneurs de Sevillé,etc.): Ongoing collaborative research with cousin DavidPatterson.

- Branch de la Fontaine descendants of Nicolas de la Fontaine inMaryland: Jane G. Wholmsley (deceased), Linda Kay Beauchamp, GeorgeM. Fountain (deceased), William Ballard Fontaine (deceased),Mildred Fountain Nichols (deceased) and Raymond Jennings Fountain(deceased) for providing me with years of their own research forconsultation and reference.
