Hope the information below turns out to be a Christmas present for someone
reading this list. The information came from the weekly Roots Web Review that
I receive by email each week. Don't recall anyone researching this surname,
but you never know who is reading and not actively participating in the list.
Louisiana Birth Record Found in France
By Lisa Rex in Cambridge, England
Recently I was doing some personal genealogical research in the
departmental archives of Seine-Maritime in Rouen, France. I was looking
at original bound records of sailors and passengers sailing from the
port of Le Havre.
Within the records of the sailors are loose pages of passenger lists,
requests for pay advances, ship maintenance records, etc. One of the
most unusual things was a New Orleans birth declaration, in English.
I've transcribed it with the intention of helping descendants find their
ancestor, and let them know that it's stuck inside an old book in Rouen!
"State of Louisiana, Parish of Orleans
11 May 1854 Monsieur Jean Baptiste TRIVELLI, native of Lazo, Ital
residing in N 3ng Burgundy Street, 2nd dist of New Orleans declares
that on the 8th of May of the present year at two o'clock pm at
department aforementioned residence was born a male child named
Desiree Pierre Trivelli issue of the legitimate marriage with Maria
SCATTA a native of Italy.
Witnessed by Monsieur Giovanni B. TRIVELLI and Mrs. Edgar PLANCHARD
and John PLANCHARD.
Dated 10 January 1867"
This appears in the record book known as 6P 6/353. Why it is in there is
anyone's guess!
