Hi Nicole,

Just last week I discovered a site www.en.calameo.com. It is a biographical dictionary of baptisms in New Caledonia for the late 1800's/early 1900's which I have found extremely helpful to my research. It is written in French and has marginal notes which sometimes tells who the person married. I used an online translator for the phrases I did not understand. Your great-grandmother's surname was spelt GAZINGEL. With my limited French it looks like she married Alexandre Alain Heister, born 16/2/1890 in Noumea to Georges Henry HEISTER, a German shipwright, and Gabrielle Olive PAUGAME, 28. Alexandre married your grandmother on 8.5.1915. On 10/4/1922 he married Jeanne Lucie DE BALMANN and then it looks like he married Marie Antoinette DE BALMANN on 4.11.1950, again both in Noumea. Hope my interpretation is correct and this is of some help.

Regards, Mitch.
