d'Aubert family

The family originates in the town of Thionville in Lothringen (now the Lorraine region), where their progenitor Jean Aubert was a merchant.

Today members live in France, in Denmark, in Norway, in Sweden, and in Germany.

[2] This town was at the time in Habsburg possession and a part of the Holy Roman Empire.

[3] Jean d'Aubert's great-great-grandson, François Jacques Xavier d'Aubert (1727–1793) emigrated to Denmark in 1752 to take up a career in the Danish army.

[2] Separate branches of the family descend from his two sons, both military men: Benoni d'Aubert (1768–1832), who moved from Denmark to Norway and founded the Norwegian branch of the family, and Jacques d'Aubert (1769–1844), whose son Oskar Aubert (1831-1900) was the ancestor of the Danish and German branches of the family.
