Talk:Raymond-Benoît

E. Raymond-Benoît, F. Raymond-Benoît or A. Raymond-Benoît but not Raymond Benoît
Raymond-Benoît is not surname + family name, Raymond-Benoît is a family name. A. Raymond-Benoît was the president of the Cercle des Voiliers et Avirons de la Saône, he has a son: E. Raymond-Benoît. There is F. Raymond-Benoît too. The rower in 1900 is probably one of this three persons. And I think the rower is the son (great rower in 1901) but I am not sure.
