At least I have a "process of elimination" and can cross off one more possibility. It is so kind of you to do these look ups!

He was Jean Napoleon GAUNY in America and was only 5 when he came over. He MAY have travelled with an older sister (Marguerite possibly?) or she may have been old enough to be married and travelling under her (unknown) married name. Various sources I have say he was born in 1825 and came here when he was five. We do not know what part of France he came FROM, but research shows that the majority of the few people with this name were concentrated in the A-L area. Can't find their original arrival records in America, so I thought I would work backwards and try their departure instead. Twenty + years of research have failed to find his birthplace or parentage L Are there other resources I could check regarding departures from France to America in the 1830 time period?
