Whomever can read french, can you give us all a clue as to what this says? I believe it is some sort of obituary.
BEAUREGARD Nicolas Jacques, âgé de 42 ans, sous lieutenant au 17ème régiment, domicilié à Versailles, département de la Seine et Oise, condamné à mort le 8 prairial an 2, par le tribunal révolutionnaire de Paris, comme convaincu d'être complice des manœuvres pratiquées de concert avec le traite Dumouriez, à l'époque de sa trahison, tendant à ébranler la fidélité des soldats en vers la nation, et à marcher contre la convention.
Put to death by the gillotine somewhere between 1789–1799 could this be someone related to us?
I had heard there was some family history done by "the twins" was this ancestory ever put on CD or maybe the internet? I understand that our family came over here in the 1700's? Could he be family?
I found this information on the following web site in case anyone else knows of any more family names they would like to check on.

Even better, try Google Translator:

A little more intelligible:
BEAUREGARD Nicolas Jacques, aged 42 years, lieutenant in the 17th regiment, residing at Versailles, department of Seine et Oise, sentenced to death on 8 prairial year 2, by the Revolutionary Court of Paris, as believed to be an accomplice Maneuver practised together with the trafficking Dumouriez, at the time of his betrayal, to undermine the loyalty of soldiers to the nation, and to walk against the convention.
This was all during the French Revolution and he found himself on the wrong side.
Not a part of our family. We arrived here in 1590, two hundred years before the French Revolution. Andre Beauregard was a soldier who came here as an indian fighter. He had great successes and was awarded three islands in the St Lawrence River. We are descended from his second son, Francis.
