JAKE DAUBERT’S REAL NAME

Properly Spelled d’Aubert and French City Is Named After Family— Is Not German. It is not generally known that Jake Daubert, now with the Reds, should properly spell his name d’Aubert. “My family,’’ Jake explains, “are from a little city just a few miles west of the German boundary, and named for them —a name it has borne for 500 years or more—D’Aubertville. Some of them, adventuring the way Frenchmen did 200 years ago, came over here and, after England permanently ousted France from the colonial regions, settled down. In other words, we are

not Germans, as so" many people think, but French of an old, old stock, and we still have a flock of relatives in the ancient city.”
