The surname Launcelotte was first found in Leicestershire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held estates in that shire.

Migration of the Launcelotte family
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Launcelottes to arrive in North America: Lucien Lancelot, aged 25, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1919; Marie Lancelot, aged 23, who arrived at Ellis Island from France, in 1919; Marie Louise Lancelot, aged 30, who arrived at Ellis Island from France, in 1919.
