Please take your time, I know you are busy and the holidays are coming up. This is just so exciting to me that I am even now trembling as I write this.

I only ask because you may be able to judge some of the written hand better than I as you are perceiving the word in French and I am trying to break it down letter by letter to then translate to English.

Then there is the name of the judge that gave him the letter.... I have no idea what that name is but I would like to find out. It seems to call Auguste Dumont his cousin... but in fact August Dumont is the husband of the sister of the stepmother of Camille Englebert.

I really want to find the records of that notaire Lebon (and could you check the sense of that court record as to possessive pronouns for me, and who won the judgement!). I've found that there are two notaires Lebon in Bruxelles and it is likely they are the descendants of the Lebon in question. The work of notaries seem to carry on in French/Belgian families and they even keep the work papers of their ancestors in private archives. So.... I am hopeful.

So much is coming together, our family myths, though focused on Paris and the famille de Buisseret, especially le comtes de Buisseret, are all falling in line on this one man. It certainly helps that he went to Harwich, England, with a woman whose name is near-exact that of our great-great grandmother here in Indiana.

I'm so excited over finding and translating the Godefroid court case above that I cannot get to sleep.

LOL!!!

Thanks, Chani...
