I don't know a lot about my Lyon family. I have to pick my father's brain when I
see him in a few weeks (he's a Lyon and he's 80 years old). I'm going to have
to start from scratch on this end of the family. I only know the Lyons were from Lyon
France & were Hugonauts. When they fled France they stopped in the UK before coming
to the US. The original family name was Deantros (no idea how to spell it) but they took
the name Lyon from the town where they lived when they left. Does any of that sound
familiar?
