Désolé de ne voir que maintenant l’avis de décès HAYDELL MILLET. Je suis généalogiste amateur français, dont la mère est née Gilberte PEYTAVIN de GARAM de Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) dont l’aïeul Paul-Félicien PEYTAVIN de GARAM n’est autre que Jean-Baptiste PEYTAVIN DUBOUSQUET ancêtre de Pearl et Grace PEYTAVIN.
Mon correspondant aux USA est Michael et Anita HENDERSON d’Atlanta. Je vous transmets toute ma sympathie malgré ce retard. Si vous souhaitez des informations supplémentaires (origine des PEYTAVIN), leurs ascendants remontent au début de 16° siècle à St-Martin-de-Castillon près d’Apt et Avignon en Provence. Vous m’excuserez de vous transmettre ce message en français parce que je ne parle pas beaucoup l’Anglais et que je risquerai de faire des erreurs de transcription. Bien à vous, Jean Gignoux 12, impasse des cerisiers 13111 – Coudoux France
