    Ohhh I see what you’re doing... it’s a good way to find out a persons name I’m not saying but it has something to do with God.

    The surname of my ancestors was LaMairde but at family reunions this tended to cause teenage snickering whenever somebody reminisced about défunct LaMairde this and défunct LaMairde that, so it was changed to LaGalette, an appropriate name for those in the baking profession, which was their main occupation at the time. Don't know why they changed the latter, as well, when they came to the New World. Change of profession?
