That is an intersting entry. Say, I'm not sure how to do this, but how do you tell the originator that his name was "Mayeus," not Meus?

I'll send him/her/them a question by e-mail. I had added this as a Friend a while back.

Jack, do you know that for sure? I've seen it spelled several ways because the old names were written phonetically, even on the birth certificates.

Well, the Leo Soileau CD liner notes and Ann Savoy's book call him Mayeus. The book "Memories" by Johnie Allan has a picture of him and a spelling of Mayeuse.
That's all I have had a chance to check, but there are others. I have never seen it spelled Meus.

The surname, in french, is "Marius" (I think).

I think that is a different name. "Meus" has been written "Mayeus, Maius" and maybe a few ways, there is no "r" sound in it.
