• "Cousin Vane" Daspit, who I remember visiting with my father in New Orleans many years ago, and who accumulated a great deal of the material which was passed on to my father.  Without this material the site may not have been established in the first place.
• Michael Bergeron for his extensive work, particularly with respect to the St. Amand family and to Jack Keene for providing a copy of his work.
• Ray Olivier, Georgia who has recently provided considerable material which added considerably to information on various European branches from the 16th century and earlier and has also been a great help in organizing some of the more recent information.
• Tom G. Daspit of Houma, La. provided much information, particularly, in scanning his copy of the "Archives of the Nobility" and E-Mailing me this information.
• My cousin Jack Daspit provided much of the information on the death of Jean Francois as well as information on some of the early St. Amands and contacts with other cousins.
• The following who have provided various pieces of documentation: Jason Bourgeois; Cheryl Castelin, Florida; John Daspit, Colorado; Toby Daspit, Lafayette, La.; June Ames, Slidell, La.; Virginia Pruet, Texas; Wally Schneidau, Slidell, La.; F. Pat Smith of New Orleans, La.; Debbie Thomasee Garcia, Texas; and all of you who have signed the Guest Book over the years.
• My wife, Pam (Jones) Daspit has retyped many of documents from some rather poor copies.

NOTE: I have included E-Mail links for any of you who have indicated your addresses could be published, if there are others who would like to be contacted by others interested in their research, please let me know by E-Mail and I will ad a link for you.

Very special credit goes to Matilda of Flanders, my 26th Great Grandmother, who (by some accounts anyway) oversaw the creation of Bayeaux Tapestry, a segment of which provided the background for these pages.
