Looking for parents of John Charles DUFORT, born in Paris, France; became a British citizen. All I have for this John Charles DUFORT are the details below. I am hoping there might be additional resources this group may have to find his parents.
I've also checked for Jean Charles DUFORT, no luck.
Thank you,
Robert van Haastert
