Welcome back to the Melletfamily genealogy website!!
 A bit of website history : Information collected by our cousin Gilles de  Barry was integrated October 8th 2008.

I also integrated some data from "Les maréchaux de Napoléon III leur  famille et leur descendance" by Joseph Valynseele though not all of the  related persons therein ...
 I did include all thirteen of Françoise de Laborde-Noguez' (Sica's)  sibblings !

More recently I dug into the Larrieu side of the family to understand how  Château Haut-Brion was - briefly - part of our family history !

This gave us a better view of the past and a more complete view of the  present. 
 Please update this information by adding family or individual data and  some pictures.

I just renewed the site: we have 145 pictures so far and we could add 100  this year ! : let's see some faces!
 You can also add contact information to your profile, if you wish.

This website aims at giving the 21st century members of the Mellet family  in Europe, the USA, and wherever they may be, a way to share information  on the permanent and exponential growth of the 
 tribe.

My main goal is to give the new global generation of Mellets a way to get  a grasp of theextensive family without traveling but we can now learn the  faraway past of the family in addition, and a good picture of those who  are not with us anymore can help the younger generation keep a living  memory, by putting a face on a familiar name.
 At the other end of the timeline, it's really great to see what recent  additions by birth or union to the family look like to better commit them  to our essentially visual memory even as you live far away from them !

Some will be willing to include personal information Birth date or e-mail,  others mightnot. I think pictures would be a real plus to keep in touch  through the miles.

The tool will be what we make of it. It is not very hard to fill out, as I  havediscovered. I do not intend to enter information for anybody else, and  I think eachfamily can choose what they want listed. 
 You can contact me to gain access to the siteand improve on it.                          Nicolas Mellet

PS: To add information directly, in addition to the Admin password, it is  now necessary to enter an e-mail address 
  You can use mine (starting with nick_lisa@) or send me an e-mail - so I  can list you as anadministrator which I'll be glad to do - then your e- mail will work too.
 If you struggle with adding pictures, just e-mail me with a clear message giving the list  of those in the picture and the date it was taken. 
 Someone else ... will likely integrate it properly from there.
