 History of France and its French Heritage
Pippin the Short, first mayor of the palace under the last of the Merovingian kings, was himself raised to the throne in 751, and was succeeded by his son, Charles the Great {Charlemagne}, whose empire was German.
With the death of Charles IV, in 1328, the first branch of the Capetian kings became extinct, and Philip, of the House of Valois, a cousin of Charles IV, came to the throne, according to the Salic law.
The king himself was honest and well meaning, but the whole administration was corrupt, and the court, the nobility, and the clergy formed a privileged class, united to oppress the people.

 Family History, Genealogy, and Family Tree Research — Genealogical.com
This interpretation of family history fits squarely with the view that all family history is contextual, i.e., it cannot be viewed in isolation or separated from its historical framework.
So it appears that there are two distinctly different ideas about family history: one places emphasis on the family in its historical framework, the other focuses on the family as a group, identifying all family members descending from a common ancestor without regard to cultural context.
They cover families from a particular geographical region, a particular ethnic group, a particular time period, even a particular class, some covering as many as eight or ten generations of a family, with some multi-family works showing descents from several common ancestors.

 History of Surnames
During the Middle Ages, as families got bigger and villages got a bit more crowded, individual names became inadequate to distinguish friends and neighbors from one another.
If a person or family migrated from one place to another, they were often identified by the place they came from.
Such derivations of family names, resulting from ignorance of spelling, variations in pronunciation, or merely from the preference of the bearer, tend to confound both genealogists and etymologists.

 Augustin Family-- Wisconsin
The country of France is divided into 95 departements, each of which has a city as its headquarters, sort of like a county seat.
However, the letter reported that only one Augustin family record was found, stating that on September 12, 1786, Anne Monique Augustin, daughter of Dominique Augustin (deceased) and of Marie Monique Hyacinthe Coudrin, married Jean Joussaume, son of Pierre Joussaume (deceased) and of Marguerite Verdal of the diocese of Saintes.
This was surprising news indeed, as the family history made no mention of a daughter of Dominique and Monique, only of a son, Jean, who immigrated to New Orleans.
