I have been trying to find information on the Testut family of the FWI. The progenitor - Charles Eugene was apparently b. in France. He was later in NY, then Guadeloupe where he married and had a son appx 1840. He may have practiced medicine in Guadeloupe and left after the earthquake. He also - possibly- started schools for 'children of all colours' in Guadeloupe & Martinique. This is unclear if the school founder is same Dr. Charles Eugene who was later in NY and LA, where he was a printer, author, spiritualist, & abolitionist sympathizer. I have attempted contact with the Musee Schloecher, & several recommended contacts in G/M with no results. Does anyone have any suggestions for records of this timeframe in the FWI? Thanks -- Lisa
