M. T. de Langlais is our friend in France who researches the crew of our seven ships of 1785. We have been able to help him with the Peltier in the crew. He is now asking about two crew members who stayed in Louisiana Luis GIOVELLINA chirurgien/surgeon (or Jovellina) Gabriel BENOIT captain of le Bon Papa (or Benoist) And the two New Orleans people who purchased the ship. (chartered?) Jean Baptiste Dousset Jacques Lemoine Please share anything & everything you may have on them, their families.or Le Bon Papa. I plan to check in this order ADNO, DOBR, South LA, then Southwest LA 1785 to about 1803. & then check earlier years. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
