I am granddaughter of Stella Maris Sivadon. She married Albert Mitchell and they had 3 daughters, Betty, Nancy (my mother) and Jeannie (Mary Jean). I have traced the Sivadons back to Mattelin who was born in France around 1803 but have run into a stone wall before that. My grandmother always told us her great grandmother (Mattelin's wife, Dona) was a gypsy princess who eloped with Mattelin and was banned from the gypsy clan. Love this story and would love to hear from others who have Sivadon information. Stella was the daughter of Fred and Eliza and had many siblings. I met my great-grandfather, Fred, when I was very young. He died in 1960 I think and is said to be buried in Rogers, AR.
