De=A0: French SIG [mailto:frenchsig@lyris.jewishgen.org] Envoy=E9=A0: jeudi 4 mai 2017 08:04 Subject: Searching 1880'S Ederne' Alliance Teacher in Paris Files From: Jeannette Nemon <jnet.nemon@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 11:24:22 -0700 X-Message-Number: 1 Luna CANETTI was my one of my two Sephardic Great-Nona's born in the Ottoma= n Empire around 1869, and she was the wife of Great-Nono, Nissim BEHAR of Bulgaria. Nissim's inspiration for bringing the BEHAR Family >from Bulgaria to Palestine was listening to the inspiring musings of a gentleman who coincidentally had the same name, speak of his plans to begin a French-Speaking School in Palestine. My Great-Grandfather was so inspired that he moved our family in the first wave. While it was a known fact that Luna was a School Teacher who was blind by adulthood, she's my only ancesto= r whose exact birthplace and parentage remain a puzzling mystery. Like a gift= , a few weeks ago I found a writing of my late Mother who made a brief reference to Luna's teaching at the Ederne' Branch of Alliance Israelite Universelle. After asking around, I found out that my Nono, her son, Michel= BEHAR, also taught at Alliance, but at the Location in France prior to his Agronomy career in Alexandria. In the past week or so, I've learned that there's a whole community of Alliance Alumni faring >from its inception that predates even my Great-Grandmother. There've been locations in multiple countries, & multipl= e books and articles written about the Alliance, & there are yearbooks available & copious files kept. A family I have linked to as DNA-Cousins through my BEHAR/CANETTI family somehow are also involved with Genetic genealogy. Describing my finding, they mentioned that their Grandmother also taught at= Alliance, and that while in Paris, they "spent part of a day obtaining all her files." I told her that might not get me biological information, but it's "Frosting on the cake." Her response was, "Oh, it's the better than an= y Frosting you could imagine!" Apparently the files included letters between great-grandparents and the school, and mentioned family matters, dates, the= names of previously unknown siblings. In short, there was so more biographical information than they had hoped for! I wrote to the Alliance office about a week ago & received no response. I am wondering if there is = a way I can find someone located a reasonable closeness to the Alliance Paris= Office who I may retain to gather all there is? I would prefer to discuss compensation privately when I have viable names or contacts.
