Ambroise Thomas of Metz

   I began wondering about Agnes Thomas, the bold mother who with her sons and daughters came in 1854 across France to Le Havre and across the ocean to the Mississippi River.  Is Thomas a Welsh name up there in Metz?

  What I found tonight poking around online is a musician born in 1811 in Metz name Ambroise Thomas.  He  could easily be one of us, from his picture and his life story.
