Hi Aearthrise, Victor and Norbert were not brothers. Norbert's father, Vincent Rillieux, died in 1833, about 13 years prior to Victor's birth (per the newspapers Vincent Rillieux died of a stroke, per family records, he died in a duel (source: Degas in New Orleans, author: Christopher Benfey)). Victor was the son of Pierre Rillieux and Marie Louise Dusuau; Pierre's grandfather Pierre Rillieux was the brother of Vincent's father Vincent Rillieux. Mylorin (talk) 20:40, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
