Gustave Alexandre in the Valley

While reperusing early 19th century records of Bainet that have been digitized, we were reminded of a child, Louise Francoise, born in 1825 to Gustave Alexandre and Genevieve Plaisir. The godparents of the child were from two well-rooted families in the valley of Bainet, Dure and Boursiquot. The godfather, a Joseph Dure, was probably the same Joseph born in 1805 in the valley to a Louis Dure and Marie Charlotte Boursiquot. The child's godmother, Marie Louise Boursiquot was probably related to Joseph Duret. 

We are convinced that the Alexandre of the valley section may have been related to or connected in some other fashion to the Duret, Cange, and Boursiquot and Begin. Sadly, we still lack any other record of Gustave Alexandre and his possible relations to Desire Alexandre (the godfather to a child of Jean Charles Cange also born in the 1820s) or whether or not these 3 Alexandre were related to the Jean Baptiste Alexandre who was married to a Marie Therese Cange, also in the valley. However, the Alexandre in the valley may have been close to a Lacour, too, since Rose Adelaide Lacour served as the godmother to a child of Louise Alexandre in 1806 and the child of Jean Baptiste Alexandre and Marie Therese Cange in 1820. When one traces the origins of the Lacour back a few generations, one finds they too were deeply rooted in the valley.
