Hello.
My husband’s grandmother was Marie Julie HUSSON SEICHEPINE (born 2 July 1872 in Nébing – died 15 October 1957 in Wilmington, Delaware). Marie was the sister of your grandfather Louis HUSSON. Another sister, Elise HUSSON (May 1873-???) also came to Wilmington, married and had a family there.
I do have some information about Jean Michel HUSSON and Catherine Marie Rose BOUBEL and their ancestors. It is from the files of the Department of Moselle, and it was sent to me by Guy SEICHEPINE, a cousin in Plesnois, France. Guy could find no death records in Moselle for Michel and Catherine so he thought perhaps they also came to Wilmington, but I have found no record of Michel and Catherine in Wilmington yet -- do you know if they died in France and where they are buried? I believe that members of our BOUBEL, CARRE, HUSSON and SEICHEPINE families came to Wilmington for employment, and many stayed for life. The DuPont Gunpowder Mill was located there and employed many workers.
Email me at
sandy_repp@yahoo.com and I will send to you the information I have about Michel and Catherine, and I will tell you how to contact Guy. I look forward to corresponding with you! Sandy Repp (wife of Harry Seichepin)
