Dear Ms. Paulson:
Here is an excerpt from a book manuscript of mine:
"Gaston Séguy was the brother of Paul Séguy, from whom he had learned the skill and knowledge in the construction of electrical equipment. Paul in turn had learned it in his father’s electrical and glass-blowing shop, where among other achievements, he excelled in innovative design and production of vacuum discharge tubes of the most varied kind. At early age Paul had earned with such equipment some medals, e.g. at the Universal Exhibition of 1878 in Paris. By 1896 Paul was completely absorbed by a very successful career as baritone singer, reciter, orchestra director and conference presenter."
This information may be cited in the following manner:
de Haën, Christoph: Personal communication, 2008.
I have the following biographical information:
Séguy, Paul [Christian] (*Feb. 9, 1862, Paris, French Empire // † 1933 )
Séguy, [Pierre] Gaston (*July 19, 1865, Paris, French Empire // † March 17, 1951, Neuilly-le-Vendin, Département Mayenne, French Republic)
It is my strong impression that the Paul Séguy here mentioned is identical to the one of your interest. In that case Gaston Séguy would be the brother to you unknown. Please let me know whether you agree. French language is fine.
Good luck with your research.
