  Death	14 Jun 1894	Bandol, Var, France   [2]
  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Pierre Pitard             d. Bef Jan 1700  (4 x Great Grandfather)  Maria Glaudin           b. Le Pellerin, Loire-Atlantique, Pays de la Loire, France           d. Yes, date unknown  (Great Grandmother)
  Notes	Her death record does not record her husband as “veuf,” so I assume he was still alive. The certificate for her marriage was registered in 1877 in New Orleans. In the 1880 census, a Pierre Arnaud with wife Lizzie Arnaud are living in Washington D.C. The dates are about right; he is 51 and she is 46. He was born in Marseilles. He is a barber. But, she was born in "Frankfort," as were both of her parents. The records in Bandol, Var, there are many “Bousquet” families—might that be why she moved there with her husband? I can't find them on censuses or NOLA vitals indices. This may be because she moved to France; she died in Bandol, on the Mediterranean coast a bit to the east of Marseilles.
