Calling all Jossets -- I have not been able to find ANY online documentation at all of the life and travels of Avram Josset! Can you help? I'm looking for scans or transcriptions of at least these documents:

  • Birth record
  • Marriage record
  • Immigration record
  • Census records
  • Death record

I am also looking for a photograph of Avram as a young man, and a photograph of his grave marker.

I hope to be able to fill in this page properly soon. Thanks for your help!
