This links to one of 84 entries for Freret on rootsweb's family files. It gives a London birth for that son, but I'd wager this is a French name. When you run a name in rootsweb, there are often overlapping files with a variety of information. You need to use caution, since many people are not careful of good research or documentation.
31 persons with the last name are shown in the ssdi, many in Louisiana. Obviously, if this is your name and you are wanting to "work" it, the males are Frerets by birth, females in this index are probable wives. In genealogy, women are normally identified with a maiden name.
Can't tell you much about the individual persons, unless I was personally researching the family or my lineage. But this is a good place to start. Of course, you need to do some basic research yourself, to see how or if you are connected.
