Immigrants from Liege, Belgium circa 1869


The name Detrixhe refers to what would appear to come from 'de trixhe',
'trixhe' not being found in any French dictionary, but coming from the Walloon
language and meaning 'waste ground' or 'common land' or 'land belonging to
the local Commune (or rural council)'. So, a name which might be given to
a family living on or alongside common land.
