PELTERET FAMILY TREE in FRANCE 1673 - 1727

Pelteret ancestors were living in various villages and towns in the Cote d'Or in the 17th to 19th centuries. The name PELTERET or PELLET(E)RET (a diminutive form of PELTIER or PELLETIER, which probably means the one who makes furs and sells them) can be found in the area of Is-sur-Tille 1, where the church is under the patronage of St. Leger.

The link of the then Gracey le Chateau in the Bishopric of Langres 2 in Champagne to the Pelteret family in South Africa is made through the holographic will of LEGER PELTERET, which is lodged in the London Metropolitan Archives and Guildhall Library Manuscripts, London, England 3. To-day, Grancey-le- Château-Neuvelle is a community of several hundred persons in Burgandy in the Côte-d'Or, eastern France 4.
