Welcome to:
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.
