Talk:D'Aubert family

Norwegians only?
All the info so far recorded in this article is taken pretty directly and exclusively from the Store norske leksikon site linked under what should be the references section. So there is no info on the Danish or German branches of the family, the descendants of Jacques d'Aubert. I was tempted to make "Other prominent members" into "prominent Norwegian members," since they're all Norwegian (except for the pianish from Sweden who married in). I am a new editor and not sure what to do about this. Rewrite article to refer only to the Norwegian branch of the family?? Recruit someone to find a Danish source and info on Danish members to give equal treatment for the other side of the family? I've taken this as far as I know how to.Cellequilit (talk) 04:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Danish branch
I found info on Jacques d'Aubert and his descendants on page 22 of the 1900 edition of Danmarks adel aarbog online at http://archive.org/stream/danmarksadelaarb1900kj#page/64/mode/2up but it's sketchy and in Danish and that's it. – Cellequilit

French, various ennobled persons
Does this person belong here too? Ennobled (late 1600s) French Canadian businessman Aubert de la Chesnaye (Dictionary of Canadian Biography online cited at http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=85755362)

Also in Familles subsistantes de la noblesse française we find the following: Aubert du Petit-Thouars de Saint-Georges, anobli en 1714, Poitou, Touraine, ANF-1970. Aubert de Trégomain, anoblissement par charge 1690, Bretagne, ANF-195943. Aubert de Vincelles, anoblissement par charge 1669, Normandie, Bretagne, Bourgogne, ANF-196844. Aubin de La Messuzière, 2 trésoriers à Alençon, fils, 1748-1769, Maine.

Should these French nobles be included? – Cellequilit
