Notes for Jacquette (Spouse 1)

Note from Xavier: “So we have another spelling for the surname : Malegent sounds in French like Malegean and Malejan(t)
Today, in this region, the name appears written : Malegeant or Malégeant
“GA” in French sounds like in garage in English
When you add an “e” after the “g” it changes to a soft “g” like in gentleman or surgeon. However in French it sounds like the “j” in English, not like the “dj” sound of your “g”. The “t” at the end is not voiced.
