The Wives of Martial #Caillebotte, Part 1.

Posted in Caillebotte, Paris, tagged , , on 15 September 2012| 1 Comment »


This is dedicated to my dear cousins, descendants of Martial Caillebotte.

It has long been my belief that the 2nd and third wives of Martial CAILLEBOTTE (the father of Gustave, René, and Martial) were related in some way. As my research continued, I began to suspect that the second wife, Eugénie Séraphine LEMASQUERIER was likely the aunt of the 3rd wife, Cèleste DAUFRESNE, whose mother also born LEMASQUERIER.

Special thanks to our cousin, Philippe PINSON de VALPINÇON, for helping me locate family birth and marriage records and proving my beliefs.

We knew that Cèleste DAUFRESNE was the mother of Gustave CAILLEBOTTE, René, and Martial.

We knew that the mother of Cèleste DAUFRESNE was Marie Cèleste LEMASQUERIER.

We now know that Marie Cèleste was born 12 Jul 1797.

We now know that Eugénie Séraphine LEMASQUERIER, was born 12 Jul 1813, and was the sister of Marie Cèleste, both having same parents.

Finally, we now know that Eugénie Séraphine LEMASQUERIER was also born as a twin, with her brother, Eugene Joseph LEMASQUERIER.

I am posting this via an iPhone, and will post more information in the future, as I transcribe these documents. Please forgive any typos I made with my thumbs.

December 7th Isn’t Just Pearl Harbor Day.

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , on 7 December 2011| Leave a Comment »


For those of you that remember that today is Pearl Harbor Day, I’ll give you another reason to remember something else that happened on this day in history.

Today, December 7th, in 1813, our ancestor, Professor Jules Gabriel Gaston Zoé de Launay was born to his parents, Jacques de Launay and Marie PINSON de Valpinçon. They resided at what is now No. 8, rue des Francs-Boureois, Paris, along a street that divides the 3rd and 4th Arondissements. Jacques parents lived just around the corner on rue du Foin, and this is were Jules’ uncle Jean de Launay died on 23 Dec 1816. I have begun to create a map on Google that will show you all of the family related places in Paris.

These three locations are the first. You can find the map here: http://g.co/maps/fkwr4, this way, if anyone ever goes to Paris and wants to do the family tour, you will have it all mapped out for you.

Eventually I’ll create a legend that will go with each location that will give more details than the limited space I’m given on Google maps. The map will take many months to create, as I do a little of it in between other research. I’ll add also photos that I’ve taken as I go along, in addition to the ones you may find on Google.

Caillebotte Brothers Exhibition Coming to Canada

Posted in Caillebotte, de Launay, Paris, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on 13 July 2011| Leave a Comment »


I can’t find it published online anywhere yet, but I’m told privately that the “Caillebotte Brothers Private World” exhibition is coming to Canada.  I hope I’m not spilling the beans.  I saw it at the Musee Jacquemart Andre in Paris back in March when it had just opened.  To a cousin of Gustave and Martial, I was more really interested in the family photos, which I had not yet seen.

I’m planning to attend the opening of the Montreal exhibition.  I’m hoping some of the de Launay descendants can make the trip to see not just the exhibition, but our Caillebotte descendant cousins, whom our families had lost touch with after the death of my great-grandmother, Annie de Launay in 1919.  My grandfather was just 15 years old, when Gustave died in 1894, but was already a painter and pianist himself by the age of 9, most likely following in his older cousins’ (Martial the pianist, and Gustave the painter) footsteps.

It’s getting close, so the dates should be announced soon.  I’ll repeat the official dates and location here on this blog when they are released, but I think it will open sometime in early October.

New Sub-Page Added To Public Downloads.

I just added a new sub-page to the Public Downloads Page.  This is a transcript of a 26 page booklet published in 1888 for the 10th-year anniversary of the first American Protestant Mission to Paris in January 1878, opened by my great-grandparents, Professor Jules de Launay, D.D., and his wife Anna Augusta (born Ollerrenshaw) de Launay. Jules was the second cousin of Martial Caillebotte (the elder).

Jules emigrated to the U.S. in 1841, and then returned to Paris with Annie as American missionaries in December 1877.  Their sons, Paul and Gaston were both born in Paris, as dual citizens.  Paul de Launay would later be awarded France’s two highest awards:  the National Order of the Legion of Honour (Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur) in 1950, and the medal of Officier d’Académie de France in 1936.  Additionally, in 1926, Paul de Launay was made a member of Société Académique d’histoire Internationale.

Je viens d’ajouter un nouveau sous-page à la page Téléchargements publics. Ceci est une transcription d’un livret de 26 pages publié en 1888 pour le 10e anniversaire l’année de la première mission protestante américaine à Paris en Janvier 1878, ouvert par mes grands-parents, le professeur Jules de Launay, DD, et son épouse Anna Augusta (né Ollerrenshaw) de Launay. Jules était le cousin au second degré de Martial Caillebotte (l’aîné).

Jules a émigré aux Etats-Unis en 1841, puis revint à Paris avec Annie comme missionnaires américains en Décembre 1877. Leur fils, Paul et Gaston sont tous deux nés à Paris, que la double citoyenneté. Paul de Launay sera plus tard attribué France les deux plus hautes distinctions: l’Ordre national de la Légion d’Honneur en 1950, et la médaille d’Officier d’Académie de France en 1936. En outre, en 1926, Paul de Launay a été fait membre de la Société Académique d’histoire internationale.
