Subject: CHARLES DeBRIAC update: ANM Exclusive Author: JARVIS---Chicago (Delighted) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Thu, September 12 2019, 19:15:46 http://www.lordheath.com/Charles_DeBriac.html According to the NYC Extracted Birth Records at Ancestry.com and Vitalsearch.com, the twins were born first, "Charles R. L. Epailly" and second, "Frederick L. M. Epailly". They became known as Charles and Raymond DeBriac. Apparently, Charles R. L. was called Raymond and Frederick was called Charles. No reference to a "Frederick DeBraic" is made in subsequent newspaper articles or "official" records' transcriptions. They were described as rambunctious red heads and a 1921 newspaper blurb said "....their own mother can distinguish them only by a birthmark...". A possible explanation for their naming is at Raymond's biography page http://www.lordheath.com/Raymond_DeBriac.html . https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=61457&h=1224171&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=MgZ100&_phstart=successSource 1915 Nov.15 NYC Birth Record "Frederick L. M. Epailly": Charles https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=61457&h=1224170&usePUB=true&_phsrc=MgZ94&_phstart=successSource&requr=2533274790690816&ur=0&lang=en-US 1915 Nov. 15 NYC Birth Record "Charles R. L. Epailly": Raymond. https://www.newspapers.com/image/81869031/?terms=briac 1921 May: Mom needs birthmark for identification. http://www.archive.org/stream/camera04unse#page/n546/mode/1up/search/de+briac 1921 Oct.: Photo: which one is Charles? https://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html 1922 April 23 "Buffalo NY Morning Express": Twins are red heads. https://www.newspapers.com/image/465152593/?terms=briac 1922 May 13: for ID, Raymond has missing front tooth. The twins' Father, Jules, and his brother, Jean were prolific, multi-talented stage actors in the East. Jean became involved in the movies and moved to Los Angeles. Jules stayed mainly with stage productions in New York City. In 1921, he moved the family to Los Angeles and brother Jean "got" the twins into films. After a few years, the family moved back to New York (Long Island) where the boys attended school and their Dad worked in the theater. All 3 Epailly brothers were interested in chess and played in amateur team chess tournaments. After High School, the Mom moved to LA with the 3 boys and the Dad remained in NYC. A more complete bio of the Uncle and Dad of the twins can be found at http://www.lordheath.com/menu1_373.html . Ancestry.com and vitalsearch.com have an extracted Death Record for "Charles Epailly" (son of Jules) for 06 January 1935. They have no Death Record for a "Frederick Epailly" for any year. Strangely, The Mom wrote a letter from LA asking the police chief of Elmira, NY to look for her missing son, Charles, at a specific address in town. Charles wasn't there. The newspaper blurb from Elmira was 22 April 1935. Her son had been deceased for over 3 months! No obituary found in New York newspapers. http://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html 1932 April 28 "Long Island Daily Press" p.8.
