(Here's a few names for you. Hope it helps)

Here's one
http://www.genealogia.com/v2/welcome/def...

but there's only one person in it with the name "Longest."

I really don't think it's a French surname, especially since there's not one person with it in France's white pages.

There is a database at
http://www.genealogy.tm.fr/
but it is in French. You can look up to see if you can find your relatives.

There is also some additional helpful info on http://genealogy.about.com/od/france/

Good luck!
