[#32301] Kjellaug Robberstad Petit - hjelp i Frankrike?

[Gjest Lars E. Øyane]

Gode Kjellaug, eg har ein god ven i Tacoma, WA som held på å skriva ein biografi om 25 menn som fór på ein ekspedisjon til Nordpolen i 1881-1884. Dei kom aldri fram, og berre 6 av dei overlevde. No spør han meg om tips for å finna ut litt meir om huslyden til ein av dei omkomne, ein fransk lækjar. Her er kva han skriv:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The person who I am collecting data on is Doctor Octave Pierre Pavy. While he was born in New Orleans, Louisana in 1844, his father was born in France. When Octave Pavy was about 10 years old he moved, I believe with his parents, to France. He received his education in France, possibly graduating from the University of Paris in the area of medicine. He reportedly fought in the Franco-Prussian War in France. He was also reportedly a friend of Gustav Lambert, who was interested in reaching the North Pole by way of balloon flight. He returned to the United States in 1871. He went on an expedition to Greenland and points west where he died in 1884.Octave married in New Orleans in 1878. Upon his death, his widow asked that his holdings be given to her, however, a wife? and daughter in France felt that they should share in the inheritance.The daughters name was Berte Pavy who was born in Paris on July 6, 1869. Her mother was Therese Loiseau also known as Alice Pavy.I am interested in finding out more about Berte and her mother, however, I do not know where to search for such records in France. Questions such as: Did Berte marry? Children? When she lived? When she died, etc. Did Octave marry Berte's mother? Did thet get divorced?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eg har sjølv forska ein del i Belgia og i Sveits, men Frankrike har eg liti erfaring med, so før eg set i gang omfattande graving, hadde det vore kjekt med nokre tips! Kanskje du veit kvar du skal leita etter slike opplysningar?Eg vonar denne meldingi når fram til deg og takkar so mykje på førehand for hjelpi!Med venleg helsing,Lars E. Øyane, loya@online.no

Un grand merci, Kjellaug! Je viens d'expédier les données à Tacoma, mais j'étudierai également moi-même les références, car mon épouse, malgré qu'elle soit née au Rwanda, possède, en plus de nombreuses racines valonnes et luxembourgeoises, également une branche qui remonte à Soissons...!Amicalement,Lars E.
