Found on Ancestry.com, this is the record of the marriage banns for Berthe Morisot and Eugene Manet. Marriage banns declared a man’s and woman’s intentions to marry. By law, marriage banns were published at least ten days before the marriage was to take place.
Is this her death certificate?
ReplyDeleteThose paintings in the other two posts are gorgeous.
You are one artisitc person, clever pup.
ReplyDeleteAnd do you speak french as well?
I need to practice my french.
I must come here more often.
A plus tarde!
Auntie,
ReplyDeleteMalheuresement, Je ne parle pas francais.
Unfortunately I can't speak French. I can hardly remember ANYTHING I was taught in school. Canada's bilingual and the couple of times I was in France I felt quite ashamed that I couldn't manage the language.
That must of been a fun browse! I love the way they wrote back then.

C'est tres belle, petite Pup.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun & enlightening, as usual...I only wish I could comment on the other posts. Borrowing friend's laptop in coffeeshop...so lovely & interesting. I love Morisot. See you next week, I hope. xoxo, svs
So, I gather, the personal attachments thus reported are not to be found in any biographies? If there is a bio, which is the best one to read. Nice sleuthing!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I subscribe to Ancestry, too, and love browsing interesting historical items. It's especially fun to see famous people on the census lists.
