    Help needed with "decoding" old French document


    HenkWillem

    Recommended Posts

    Last week I have bought this original old document:

    2le4i7a.jpg

    It concerns the appointment of 5 Knights in the Imperial order of the Reunion: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordre_de_la_R%C3%A9union

    Is here somebody who can read it? I have "decode" a part, but not the whole text. See the attachment for my work.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I have Jean-Luc Stalins' "Ordre Imp?rial de la R?union" (Paris, 1958) listing recipients. I do not find the second name as listed, but the other four received their Orders on 9 February 1813--

    Clergeau-LaCroix, Administrateur en chef du Tr?sor Imp?rial

    Niscatou? Viscaton? cannot read this name, so haven't been able to match it to the list

    Jourdan, Directeur de la Caisse de Service

    Bronner, Directuer des comptes de la Caisse des D?penses

    and

    Rielle, Inspecteur g?n?ral de Tr?sor.

    It was signed by Jean-Baptiste Nompere de Champagny (1756-1834), Duc de Cadore as Grand Chancellor of the Order

    I translated it as such, but some of the names might be a bit different:

    Dear Francois, Bear, Rick Research,

    I almost not dare to ask you it, but can you also find the names in the following documents:

    The first with 27 commanders from 7 march 1812:

    back:

    k4xwdw.jpg

    The second with 6 knights from 20 february 1813:

    I would be most grateful if you could find some time to decode the names.
