Stories passed down are important for my French cluster; Tony Belllet is my GGF.
Took me forever to find the burial of Marie Dompnier, since all the others are buried in Lee County (formerly Moore County) NC.
The Washington DC events helped track them (once I started looking there) and finding Fanchette's marriage was important since my mother could only tell me that her Aunt's name was "Tante" (Fanchette died 3 years before Mama was born, so she never knew her.)
