Notes:

This entry in Death records of Les Aldudes was listed as Marie Espelette (her daughter in law). All data listed matches the information in 1907 when Marie Espelette really died. This date matchs exactly the entry in Fr. Leo Gariador's diaries, therefore the entry is for the wrong person in city records. Unknown why?

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Died:
Her death was noted on her son Jean's marriage record in 1910.

Notes:

His parents names were found on his marriage record in 1863 in Uruguay. Unable to find these individuals in France or Spain indexes. Family lore passed down a history that indicated Ignace was born to an unwed mother from Urrugne, France but his father was married to another woman. It is possible that the parents noted are really his parent who may or may never have married. The marriage record indicated that he was a "legitimate son" but that may be questionable. Further research necessary.
