Talk:Charles Terres Weymann

Untitled
This page should be moved to one called "Charles Terres Weymann"

About his parents: I noticed his mother was changed to French in a recent edit. That is false. Charles Weymann's mother was Cornelie Miot, herself Haitian and daughter of Charles Miot and Lesinska Cecile Riviere, both Haitians. Lesinska Cecile Riviere (1829-1908), Charles's maternal grandmother, was the sister of Bienaimé "Mémé" Rivière, the richest person in Haiti at the time, who owned ship lines among other things. I suspect Charles's aviation ventures were financed with Rivière money. Charles Miot and Lesinska Rivière, Charles' grandparents, established themselves in Paris where they both died.
