Hello,
Looking up my 25th Great Grandma, I found her name to be after the town Hainaut.
I found this ref. on her father Baldwin III, Count of Hainaut.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_III,_Count_of_Hainaut
From what I have tried to find out online. Is her name is "Hainaut" - not "Hainault".
I am confused where the "L" in her name came from.
Does anyone know this answer? As I would like to get it straight for my records.
Great Grandma is also my 26th Great Aunt on my Dad's Dad's side, and 25th GGma on my Dad's Mom's side.
