Hi. I came across your post as I, too, am researching my family tree and was looking for information on John Auguste Marcon - Father - Jacob Marcon, Mother - Marguerite, Died 1917, 76 yrs, in South Melbourne. We must be related. Do you have any more information?

Hello,

I can't find a birth record in Bordeaux for Jean Auguste MARCON, born circa 1849 to Jacques MARCON and Marguerite.

On July 30th 1867 (Bordeaux, section 3) marriage of Jean DUFOURCQ and Catherine MARCON, daughter of Jacques MARCON and Marguerite EYMAS (they are both alive in Bourg-sur-Gironde). Jacques MARCON, born around 1805, was a shoemaker.

Thank you so much. This is my grandmother's maternal side of the family. Through another line in the family (my grandmother's paternal side) we are descendants of King Henry IV of France and I was looking into this line also to see if any were Huguenots like King Henry was. I don't suppose you would have any information about that? Thanks again.
