    Jeff Vitter's parents A. L. Jr. & Audrey (née St. Raymond) Vitter (grandparent names Père and Mimi) led accomplished lives of extraordinary service and caring for others — a legacy for generations to follow (including many Domers and a killer cookbook!).
    Après le <em>Aha!</em> moment (et avant aussi!)    		Après le Aha! moment (et avant aussi!)
    As highlighted in the history "The Aha! Moment That Led to This Website," Jeff Vitter made a big breakthrough in December 2000 when he discovered when, where, and how his Vitter ancestors came from Europe to the USA. Much correspondence behind the scenes led up to and beyond that discovery, including new information about Jeff's mom's side of the family in southwest France around Uzan (pronounced "u-ZHANG" in the local patois) and Anères. This history gives an inside look at the correspondences that genealogists engage in and how what we understand grows (we hope!) with time.

    We couldn't bury Audrey "Mimi" (née St. Raymond) Vitter in New Orleans at the time of her death because of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina. When her body was brought back home for reburial eight months later, it was a time for several family events and to celebrate her life.

    <em>Thursday Night Cookin': Mimi's Recipes for a Happy Home</em>    		Thursday Night Cookin': Mimi's Recipes for a Happy Home
    Judge Wendy Vitter put together a wonderful cook book in honor of Mimi's 78th birthday in 1998, entitled Thursday Night Cookin': Mimi's Recipes for a Happy Home. The cook book consists of the family's favorite recipes of Mimi's, along with several bons mots, family trivia, and memories. The name for the cook book came from the family's tradition of having dinner each Thursday night at the New Orleans home of Mimi & Père.

    When the Vitter kids were younger, a similar tradition existed at Mimi's parents' home at 3539 Napoleon, where Mémère and Pépère would host everyone to Wednesday night dinner, often roast chicken. Jeff liked to make little chicken sandwiches with the chicken, biscuits, and gravy, and Pépère would often make his patented goulash with all the dishes on the table mixed together. We hope you enjoy the recipes and reminiscences as well!

    Bernard Artigues (last half of 1600s) is a 7th great grandfather of Jeffrey S. Vitter, co-host of this website vitter org. Bernard married Bernarde Perissé from Mane, Haute-Garonne, France in 1687 in Salies-du-Salat, Haute-Garonne, France. Their 4th great grandson Ferréol Artigues (1852–1914) immigrated to New Orleans, Louisiana from Salies-du-Salat in 1870. Several other descendants immigrated to New Orleans as well, and there are many Artigues and other descendants living in New Orleans today.

    Jean Ferran is a 5th great grandfather of Jeffrey S. Vitter, co-host of this website vitter.org. Jean married Jeanne Dourron and likely lived in Lignacq, Serres-Sainte-Marie, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France. Their great great grandson Jean Ferran dit Larneilh immigrated to New Orleans from Uzan, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France by 1893 and became a property owner/landlord.

    Descendants of the patriarch of the Simonin (Symonin) line (born circa 1490)    		Descendants of the patriarch of the Simonin (Symonin) line (born circa 1490)
    This Simonin (Symonin) ancestor is possibly the 12th great grandfather of Jeff Vitter, co-host of this website vitter.org. He and descendants lived in Vaudrivillers in the Doubs department of Franche-Comté, France. We say "possibly" the 12th great grandfather because it's not clear if Claude Pierre Thouret (born 1697) is the son of Pierre Thouret and Marguerite Simonin or of Pierre Thouret and Anna Marie Pegeot. The actual records have not yet been digitized for much of the Doubs department. Many have been transcribed, but final resolution will of this question will likely require examination of the actual records themselves. If Claude Pierre Thouret is the son of Pierre Thouret and Anna Marie Pegeot, then the relationship of the Simonin patriarch to Jeff Vitter instead becomes 4th great grandfather of Julienne Courgey, who is the wife of Jeff's 7th great uncle Gilles Thiébaud.
