This article appears to be a complete fabrication. When I came across the article, I assumed that some of the idioms and spellings (fr:Duc for Duke, fr:Picardie for Picardy, and so on) indicated that it was a translation from a French source, and might quite probably have an article the French language Misplaced Pages, analogous to fr:Maison de Savoie, it:Casa Savoia and House of Savoy. There is no such article fr:Maison de Souich/fr:Maison du Souich. Le Souich is in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais région, not Picardy. Then there is this assertion:
"The House of du Souich is an ancient and illustrious French family. Connected by birth or marriage to a great number of the noble houses of France, the du Souich family reigned over northeastern France for hundreds of years as Lords of le Souich and Amiens as well as the surrounding territories."
For such a purportedly important noble family, there is as striking paucity of available online references. While there is a real place of this name, and a number of people with the surname "du Souich" or "de Souich", it would seem to me apparent that there is no such thing as a noble "House of du Souich".

KEEP I must apologize for removing the two warnings that you posted yesterday. I am new to editing on Wiki and was unaware of how to reply to you about your concerns or what to do about the warnings.
This is not at all a fabrication. I am a member of this family. There are a number of sources related to the history of the du Souich lineage and I have marked as many as I can find online for the moment, as well as the books which have a great deal more information.
As to my use of duc rather than duke, etc. In fact, I wanted to use the two designations in this article. One is the French way of expressing the title, the other the English translation. If that is an error on Wiki, kindly let me know. My goal was to avoid repetition and to add a little flavor to the writing.
As to your concern that a family such as this would be known, well, that is simply not true in 'post-monarchy' Europe. There are thousands of noble families that have drifted off into the sunset after the abolision of their respective monarchies. I clearly explain the connection between the grand origins of the family and their noble but by no means royal destination in the 20th century. See the section Short History. That is, in fact, part of the interest in the family. A lesser known story.
Deleting this article would amount to cenorship of information for no just cause. Everything written on this page is factual. It took a great deal of research (months) on genelogical sites (which are sited, although in French), books, articles, archives, etc at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France to put all this together. This information is the beginnings of an eventual book on the subject. I wrote the page in English because the book will also be in English.
Le Souich is on the boarder of Pas de Calais, which if you continued to read a little further down you'd see is also called Picardy (Picardie) in France. And historically the region was always referred to as "Picardie" and not Pas de Calais (Nord or otherwise).
As to the point about the illustrious family, this was the case before the Revolution in what was called the Ancien Régime. From French history we know that many families lost their prominence at this period. That doesn't make the history false. It makes it less known, which is all the more reason it include the page.
There are many books (not digital) referencing the family. And in any ancient archives of the French Noblesse the du Souich family is present. Several of these books are included in the references.
One final thought, the name is properly spelt du Souich, so anytime you see de Souich, it is either false or a typo.
If you have some factual evidence to dispute my facts, kindly present them. Otherwise, I'd greatly appreciate if you'd remove this rather offense warning which basically states that I'm lying.
Many thanks in advance.--France2007 (talk) 12:50, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
