Does anyone know the identity of the Marie Judith and Marguerite Seraphine Blanchard in the records below? LORET, Adolphe Martin (Francois Claiborne Loret and Marie Judith BLANCHARD) bn. 11 Nov. 1849 , bt. 10 Feb. 1850, spo. Adolphe Loret and Lea Elfert (ASM-9, 314) LORET, Francois Alexis (Adolphe Loret and Marguerite Seraphine BLANCHARD) bn. 30 Dec. 1852, b t. 31 May 1853, spo. Francois Claiborne Loret (ASM-9, 963) Francois Claiborne and Adolphe Loret were brothers, sons of Francois Charles Adolphe Loret and Marceline Marie Bourg of Plattenville. I suspect that the two Blanchards may have been sisters, but no proof. Does anyone know their parents? thanks, Gordon
