The Missing Link  As my story unfolded in the "Finding My Way Home" section, my first introduction to our Mialocq Family History revealed two main branches that genealogists had discovered with no apparent link between them. The first branch is the one in which my family is linked and it currently looks like this: MIALOCQClick here for the first names by alphabetic order. o Jean MIALOCQ † &1706 Jeanne PERGUILHEM †o Pierre MIALOCQ 1708 &1741 Anne MARSAN 1714-1741 o Jean MIALOCQ 1744 & Marie SARROUILHE 1745-1810
With my visit to Aquitaine, France, just a couple of weeks ago, and with the tremendous assistance afforded by Andre Arriau, Jean Ouerdane, Michel and Mireille Suhubiette, Jean-Claude Mialocq, Annie Cambert, Marie Larsen, Philippe Arriau, and Jean-Paul and Mary Pierrette, we were able to fill in this tree to its current status. However, the existence of a second branch in Orthez with no apparent connection to our branch bothered me. The Mialocqs were located in Sainte-Suzanne, and there was only one Mialocq family at the time. Then a new branch of the family started a generation later in Orthez fathered by another Jean Mialocq, and we're not related? Where was he from? Perhaps it is my grandfather pushing me forward from above, I don't know, but it has become a near obsession. Just the other day I told my cousin Jean-Claude that the earliest Mialocq must have had more than one child. It was the only explanation. Today I have found the proof in the CD provided to me on October 11 that confirms this. Last night at a time I should have been in bed, I found myself doing further research and I reviewed the voluminous material provided to me in Maslacq by my friends listed above. The CD they furnished to me proved to be a treasure chest. Buried in there were two vital documents that I believe prove my theory. First, I found the verification of the marriage of Jean Mialocq and Jeanne Perguilhem in 1706, the first Mialocqs known to have existed in Aquitaine.  Then, what was believed to be their first and only child, Pierre, was born.  Pierre Mialocq's birth announcement in 1707/08. However, I needed a Jean to be the missing link between the two branches of our family. Then it happened. I also discovered the baptismal announcements for a pair of twins, Marie and Jean, dated 24 July 1712. This is Jean Mialocq's baptismal announcement. He did exist!  This is the announcement of Marie's baptism. The word "conjoint" can be seen to prove they were twins.    Nowhere in any genealogies I have seen to date has there been any acknowledgement of the existence of Marie or Jean. Nobody knew they existed until now. These documents prove it. Could this Jean be the missing link between the two family branches? He has to be. There were no other Mialocq families around. As it exists today, the second branch continues to have no apparent connection to ours in online family trees. It is as follows as compiled by genealogist DIDIER ROYAU on geneanet.org.
All of these Mialocqs were born in Orthez, which is right next to Sainte-Suzanne. If the Mialocqs had more than one child, the natural place for them to live would be in Orthez. However, the Jean Mialocq who married Catherine St. Cluque could not have been the same Jean Mialocq who was a twin. He would have had to have been one generation removed. Maybe Twin Jean Mialocq married and it was his child named Jean who eventually married Catherine St. Cluque, meaning Twin Jean would have married someone else. Then I located Bernard Fraignaud's online family tree which lists a Jean Mialocq and Jeanne Dutilh as parents of the Jean Mialocq who married Catherine St. Cluque. They had three children: Jean MIALOCQ †/1805 Jacques MIALOCQ Jean Aîné MIALOCQ Bingo. That was the key. It was not only the right time frame, but there were children who confirmed these relationships. The Jean Mialocq who married Jeanne Dutilh WAS the OTHER son of Jean Mialocq and Jeanne Perguilhem, Twin Jean, born around 1712...the one we just discovered in these ancient documents. He died some time before 1764, his wife died after. They had the three boys listed above (no birth dates are available for any) but one of their sons, Jean, married Catherine St. Cluque in Orthez in 1764, and another, Jean Aine, married Catherine Monpribat in Orthez in 1767, so it's a fair guess to estimate their birthdates as some time in the 1740's. I believe the puzzle has been solved and that we may have found the link between the two branches which makes this one big family. I would never had found him without the wonderful assistance of those I listed above who conducted a video presentation in Maslacq on the anniversary of what would have been my grandfather's 151st birthday.
