Charlemagne - Charles the Great - King of the Franks
Holy Roman Emperor

Thought that I should include a page about the other side of my family. My Mother's maiden name was 'CAISSE'. My cousin Mike Caisse has already published our family tree and did a terrific job. I will be 'borrowing' some of the information he researched for use on this page. Thanks Mike!
My Caisse ancestors have been traced back to Charlemagne (Charles the Great-King of the Franks, Crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day 800 AD)b:768ad d: 814. This also qualifies my family members to become members of the International Society of the Decendants of Charlemagne. Wow!
