Hi Emily:
Looking for FOUGERES in Brittany, I found it in Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foug%C3%A8resand I hope this is the place where Odette Victorine Rosalie MAUDUIT is from! I beleive there is PLEINE-FOUGERES, also in the same department.
The archives of Fougeres, Ile-et-Vilaine, are online but only to certain dates. I wanted to look up around 1925 for that must be Odette’s birth year. but it seems that records online stop at 1902; there should be documents online until 1913/1914. The privacy act does not allow information to be divulged unless it’s 100 yrs old and/or 75 yrs old for certain documents.
Here are some links - they are in French but dates and places might allow you to search through.
http://archives-en-ligne.ille-et-vilaine.fr/thot_internet/Fr...- CLICK on Registres Paroissiaux et Etat Civil - in next window, type FOUGERES then for dates, I typed 1900 to 1930 (select your dates). Select an entry and click on the sign in the last column on the right of the screen.
In the below link you’ll find some MAUDUIT.
Bottom of page, type the number 105 (that’s image 105 of 352) - enlarge the picture - there are 10 MAUDUIT.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Have a good day!
