I'm motioning that the following be incorporated into this article in some form:

Agnéz Deréon, later Agnéz Beyoncé (1924 – 1984) was a Louisiana native whose surname and passion for creating beauty from the mundane is the inspiration for the clothing line House of Deréon, a fashion line founded by her daughter Tina Knowles, and granddaughter Beyoncé Knowles.

Agnéz Deréon (pronounced dare-ay-on or duh-RAHN) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Self-taught, she became a well known professional seamstress catering to private clients in Louisiana. She was accustomed to tailoring pieces that stood out by decorating the fabrics she used with such embellishments as embroidery. Incorporating materials such as lace, beads and jeweled buttons, were just some of the ingredients that Deréon used to make her style unique and her own.

Deréon later married Lumis Beyoncé, taking her husband's surname to become Agnéz Beyoncé. The couple relocated to Galveston, Texas where they raised their family (some of the Beyoncé relatives still live in Galveston). Both Beyincé and her husband were of French-speaking Louisiana Creole (or French Creole) descent; having African, French, Amerindian, Spanish and Indian ancestries.

The Beyoncés were a poor, yet upwardly mobile family. The couple made many sacrifices to see that their children matriculated through private school and received a proper education. The Beyincés were very devoted to their children and encouraged their involvement in the arts.

Among the couple's posterity are a daughter,Tina Knowles, and a son (name unknown; he is Angela Beyoncé's father). Their grandchildren are Beyoncé Knowles and Solange Knowles, Angela Beyoncé and great-grandson Daniel Juelz Smith Jr.

Beyoncé's first name is a tribute to the Beyoncé family name. The rare surname, Beyoncé, is of French origin and faces extinction since there are no male descendants in the family with the Beyincé surname who will pass it on.

Maternity Line
After announcing she's expecting with husband Jay-Z at the August 28 VMAs, the star's baby campaign is in full force. Beyonce has now announced plans for a maternity line under her House of Deréon fashion label. "All I see now are clothes that are flattering on a pregnant woman," Beyonce, 30, told Harper's Bazaar. "It's been so exciting for me! I love figuring out designs that still make me feel edgy and sexy while pregnant. Flowery fabrics are always flattering — but I still rock my stilettos."

Beyonce has been photographed in recent weeks showing off her glamorous pregnancy wardrobe, including a sequin blazer on top of a sequin mini-dress.
