Some tricky Edwards's and/or Edward's Birds… with or without Milne? (1 Viewer)

There are 2 obvious errors in the attached pedegree concerning the daughters of Henri Milne.

Julie … (1831-1857), Married to Ernest Charles Jean Baptiste Dumas (1827-1980).

Cécile … (1832-1917), Married 1962 to her late sisters husband E. C. J. B. Dumas (above).

Well detected, Theo!

Well done! You sure have an eagle-eye! Thanks!

Of course you´re right. My error, my mushy brain, my slippery fingers on the computer key-board. It took me a while to compile that pdf, obviously a bit too long, too late at night. Sorry for that. But I think the rest is correct ...

I´ve now changed the pdf, and here it is again, in its updated version (1.2).

Once again thanks!

Cheers!

It´s about time for the Birds!

Ok, now it´s gone more than a week of no replies, opposing protests or counterproposals ... I take the silence as some sort of quiet approval, and will try to "push on"!

In forthcoming posts I will use the spelling:Henri Milne Edwards (1800–1885) vs Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835–1900)

Since solving that "basic thing" (like I unwisely called it in my post No. 8, this thread), hoping to find a quick and easy way of figuring out the spelling of the names of the (this far, just possible) Men commemorated in these Birds, I am now merely stating the fact that this attempt (even if we got a few things sorted out) resulted in an hevily, overloaded thread, making it a bit awkward, or at least slightly difficult to follow, for any keen new-comer, thereby I suggest we deal with the birds themselves … in a new, sparkling fresh thread: Some tricky Edwards's and/or Edward's Birds … Part II

See you all there!
