Name Marthe Marie Henriette Ferran [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] Relationship with Albert Leopold Vitter Birth 6 Jul 1894 New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA [1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10] Gender Female Description Dark brown hair, brown eyes Event Between Jul and Sep 1934 France [11] Trip with Mimi (Léocadie Péré Ferran), Mémère (Marthe Ferran St. Raymond), Tawo (Rose Ferran), and Mémère\'s five children Audrey, Albert, Dede, Buddie, and Buster to France. They sailed from N.Y. on the ship Champlain (French Line) after spending a few days in New York City, where Uncle John Ferran showed them special sights (Broadway, Statue of Liberty, Fifth Avenue, Bronx Zoo, etc.). They landed in Le Havre and went to the southwest of France where Mimi\'s home had been. The trip was probably to settle financial and succession matters following the June 1933 death of Mimi\'s mother Rose Ricaud Péré. They also visite Lourdes and Paris. In Paris, one of the kids\' favorite spots was an eatery called Pam Pam that served American food such as hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. They returned on the ship Ile de France. (Note: Mimi here refers to Léocadie Péré Ferran; Audrey St. Raymond would marry A. L. Vitter Jr. and several decades later be known as Mimi to her grandchildren.)

▻Albert Henry St. Raymond, b. 3 Nov 1879, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA d. 6 Apr 1962, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA (Age 82 years), m. 19 Jun 19182. Dr. John Blaise Ferran, b. 24 Apr 1896, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA d. 18 Apr 1993, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA (Age 96 years) 3. Augustine Marie Rose Ferran, b. 15 Jun 1898, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA d. 15 Apr 1991, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA (Age 92 years) Notes - Mémère and Pépère would host Wednesday night dinner for the Vitter family, usually serving roast chicken. Mémère was a school teacher before she got married. In those days, you had to be single to be a teacher. Jeff remembers his first day at kindergarden at St. Mathias School in September 1960. Mémère accompanied him to school that morning. (Perhaps Mimi had morning sickness!). When they arrived, the teacher was not yet there, and instead there was general bedlam. The kids were laughing and running around the classroom. Mémère took one look and quickly put her foot down, and the entire class immediately fell into total silence. It was an impressive display of will.
The children of Mémère and Pépère would bring their children each Sunday morning to visit, and then go across the yard to the nextdoor home of Tawo and Uncle John Ferran. While the adults talked in the house, the grandchildren would often play hide and seek or football on the side lawn between the two houses. Dede and Mémère would take a group of grandchildren to lunch afterwards.
Mémère was always interested in her grandchildren. Jeff Vitter remembers walking to her house each Wednesday after St. Matthias School. Mémère would send him to the corner store for a quart of ice cream and a wooden top, and then would sit down with him as he ate the ice cream to find out how his day went. When Tootie was young, she was fond of going up to Mémère and saying, "I wish I had a quarter."
Dark brown hair, brown eyes.

Before Jeff Vitter's Aha! moment described above, Jeff and his dad did not know much at all about where the Vitter line came from. Much correspondence behind the scenes — both electronic as well as old-fashioned hardcopy letters — led up to and beyond the big discovery.

As highlighted in "The Aha! Moment That Led to This Website," Jeff Vitter made a big breakthrough in December 2000 when he discovered when, where, and how his Vitter ancestors came from Europe to the USA. Much correspondence behind the scenes led up to and beyond that discovery. This history gives an inside look at the correspondences that genealogists engage in and how what we understand grows (we hope!) with time.

In the 1800s, the Ferran, St. Raymond, and Cougot families lived around a small village in southwestern France called Uzan (pronounced "u-ZHANG" in the local patois). After emigrating to the U. S. A., they sponsored a monument to those from Uzan who gave their lives during World War I. It stands there still today in front of the city hall.
