Welcome!The "LeVasseur" name was subjected to various changes. For the most part, the "Le" prefix was dropped and in most cases the "Vasseur" was retained. However, with the poor spellings and pronunciations of the name, many descendants acquired a variational form such as, Vassar, Vassaur, Vasseau, Vassau, Vassaw. Most descendants retained the Vasseur, Vasseau, or Vassaur form.The Vassaur families, formerly known as LeVasseur, played a role in the colonization of the area called "The Cradle of the Mississippi", a key area of European colonization in North America.
