Frenett

Frenett

Frenett is a surname, not to be confused with Frenette.

Most Frenett's currently reside in either the United States or in Rushbrooke, in Ireland. A few of those from Rushbrooke have moved into homes in the London area.

A few theories as to the 'birth' of the name currently exist. The first being that the name was changed from Frenette to Frenett when a family moved from the US/Canada to Ireland around the time of the Irish Potato famine.

The second theory being that, as a name, it has existed for hundreds of years, never growing hugely, and moving in its totality from location to location.

The name Frenett is mentioned briefly in many US [http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mi/state/orphan/baraga/baraga1850_index.html] [http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pitretrail/NewBrunswick/nbeleven.htm] [http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/SurnameSearch.jsp?surname=Frenett&districtId=187] and occasionally a UK census, [http://www.theweald.org/P2.asp?Pid=5147Leyswd] but th entries have never formed a distinct pattern, leaving the reader to wonder, which entries refer to the family name Frenett, and which are mis-pellings of the family name Frenette.
