Donald Truman TODD (31 Aug 1924-14 Nov 1954) & LaVonne Arlene LACKORE (27 Oct 1923-) 10. Joanne Louise TODD The
first four generations (above) were verified by me in March 2000 by
viewing the microfilm of the Civil Records from Montursin, Doubs, France.
Both Pierre Joseph Mairat and his son Victor Leon Mairat were mayors
of the town which is right near the border with Switzerland (view
map). Victor Mairat left France in 1848 and brought his family
to New Orleans, Louisiana. They moved on to Richwoods Twp., Washington
Co., Missouri. I have a copy of Victor Mairat's French passport that
shows he came with his wife and 6 children. All of these children are
listed in the birth records in France. The name MAIRAT soon becomes
MARA or MARAT and finally MARAH or MARRAH. These microfilms are available from the LDS Family History Center nearest you:
