What is the Source for Louis Cordier Snr's Death: 1702 (78) in Paarl, Breede River DC, Western Cape, South Africa? (Private User? Y. DROST, a1b2c2? Anyone?)
In 1981, Boucher is not even certain that Louis Cordier, Snr & Jeanne Blessebois are our Louis Cordier, SV/PROG's parents:
"It is possible that the refugee Louis Cordier came from the Orleanais. There was a Louis Cordier at Blois, but the name appears among the Catholic baptisms of that town. The son of a master lace-maker Louis Cordier and his wife Jeanne Blessebois, he was baptized on March 29, 1656 (M.Boucher. (1981). French speakers at the Cape: The European Background p119)"
But if we have sources for Louis Snr (husband Of Jeanne) dying in Paarl - then we can be pretty certain he was the parent. Of course, that makes him the SV.
