Hi Marie, I hope this message gets to you. I just found your post from 2000 on the message board. You requested information about Jules Lavalette. Were you able to find what you needed? If so, I would love to see your tree if you don't mind. There were actually two Lavalette families in Connecticut in the late 1800's and 1900's. One settled in Manchester and the other in Torrington. My research has found they are related by a great grandfather back in 1725 in France. I look forward to hearing from you,
jane
