I did read that Lena had passed away at 100 years of age. She'd been living in a senior citizens' community in Boca Raton, Florida, I think.
When I was in high school and was taking French, I corresponded with my cousin Marie Louise Lagrave. She's one of the grandchildren of my grandmother's brother; her father, the brother's son, had inherited the family home and farm in Eysus.
I was in touch with some Arnautou relatlives for awhile (cousins from one of my grandmother's sisters side). One of them, Phil, sent me some photograhs of the Lagrave family home in Eysus when he went to visit the relatives that still live there.
I haven't done any research at all in France and the information I have on the Lagrave family is from a genealogical chart that Phil Arnautou sent me. His sister, Suzanne, sent me copies of my grandparents' marriage certificate and our great grandparents' marriage certificate from Notre Dame de Victoire in San Francisco. She also sent me a copy of a picture of our great grandparents when they were older, years after they'd left San Francisco and had gone back to the farm in Eysus. My great grandmother looked so exactly like my mother, it was like looking at her face old fashioned clothing!
Phil and Suzanne area grandchildren of Emile's brother Ferdinand.
Out of curiosity, I looked in the phone book just know to see if any Manauts were listed. There are two listed - a Frank J. and a John P., an attorney. There could be more, but they have unlisted phone numbers.
I'm really glad you found my thread and resonded to me. I'd like to keep in touch.
Jeanne
