“La famille Monod” by Gustave Monod
The book “La famille Monod” (“The Monod family”), which Gustave Monod (1803-1890) has published shortly before his death, is an indispensable source of information for whoever wants to deepen his knowledge on this family. The author, one of the “Twelve”, a renowned surgeon, has collected a lot of information on his ancestors, on his parents – Jean Monod and Louise-Philippine de Coninck – as well as on his brothers and sisters and their offspring. When Gustave talks about his parents and grandparents, he may well be a little too hagiographic, but all in all his book is invaluable for its wealth of information.
