This is Jean Marc François Colonna d'Ornano, grandson of François' brother Alexandre:
http://www.ordredelaliberation.fr/fr_compagnon/229.html He was a French war hero, who died in battle against the Italians in WW2. A road in Algiers was named after him; this video clip shows the plaque being unveiled: http://www.ina.fr/video/AFE00002986 There's also a road in Paris named after him, and he's featured on postage stamps. More about him here (in English): http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=5...ano%22&f=false http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=B...ano%22&f=false He sounds like a sort of French Lawrence of Arabia.

Thought Libby might like to see the modest tomb of the Giacobbi family in Cervione, Corsica, constructed in 1868. Click on the photos to enlarge.

Thanks Mary.
Merry....that was the sort of view I hoped Agatha had long into old age, while being waited on by her adoring husband. Ah well.......

I can view the 1880 census with:
Francisco 67 Maria 51 Louis A 22 Sophie 17 Virgil 9 but I can't see the others as I don't have a world sub. Can you just remind me who else was on the earlier ones? I had a feeling there was at least another son....
