Hello Guilaine,
I don't know where to start so I'll just say my grandfather Michael Victor (born 1943) told me story of being a decendent of John Jacque Dessaline the first ruler of independent Haiti. I also know my grandfather had ties to France in the form of family some how. He enter the US from France in 1980. Maybe there is some type of link here... Hopefully this finds you, it's been almost 10 years
