[Gramps-users] French research question

[Enno B. <enn...@gm...>]

Hello all,

Since I know that we have a couple of French speaking users on the list, 
and I read a little, but don't speak that much, I hope that it's 
appropriate to ask some questions about this document:

https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k5449661m/f50.image.r=borgsteede

This document tells that a remote cousin, father Alfred Borgsteede, 
embarked on a ship to Brasil, in Amsterdam, and I am somewhat lost about 
the reason why this was published in France, and how he was connected to 
the congregation of the Holy Hearts of Picpus.

Can anyone enlighten me on this? I can do some Dutch lookups in return.

Regards,

Enno
