4.	In the Hancock Co. School records, the 1885 Bay St. Louis School District listed a "Julia Favre, age 12, and Louis Bordages, age 20, being the children of Rosema Bordages."
5.	The old “Maximilien Bourgeois Family Diary,” (we have a photo copy), shows a “Marie Julia Favre” bom August 2, 1872. This entry is next to Louis Napoleon Bordages.
Please note that we are not trying to embarrass anyone with this revelation, we are only trying to establish a correct family ancestry that may otherwise be lost to history. Even though Julia was not the daughter of Joseph Bordages, her mother was clearly our Rosema Bourgeois. With that, she will now be included in this Bordages History but through the Bourgeois line of our descendants. Julia Favre (sometimes used the name "Bordages"), married William “Willie” Soldini on December 26, 1899 as recorded in Our Lady of the Gulf Church records, and resided in Waveland, MS. She is buried in Cedar Rest Cemetery next to her husband. They had several children that died as infants except for one son:
A.	Turner William Soldini - bom on November 5, 1900 (OLG Church records) and died on June 22, 1988. He married Cora Ladner, the daughter of Ursan "Sa San" Ladner and Martha "Mot" Bourgeois. They resided in Waveland and had:
1.	William “Billy” Soldini, Jr. - never married and resided with parents in Waveland.
2.	Paul Stanley Soldini - married Regina Smith and resided in Waveland. He was killed in an auto accident. He had two sons: Ricky Paul and Randy Soldini and both resided in Bay St. Louis.
3. Julie Soldini - married Frank LaRocca and resided in New Orleans, LA. They had: Cynthia, Johnny, Frank Jr., Lisa, Glenn, and Joseph "Joey."
4.	Roland Anthony Soldini - married Helen Ruth Willitte and resided in Petal, MS. They had: Roland Anthony "Tony" Jr. and StarlaRuth.
JEANNE BOURDAGES
According to Clem’s Paper, she was the daughter of Bertrand Bordages and Bernade Amilhat. Clem’s Paper does not give her date of birth or death. We now know she was born on September 1, 1832 in Aulon, France as her Baptismal record states.
We know that she died sometime after November 9, 1898 because we have one of her last letters written to her family in this country. The letter was written on the above date from Aulon, France, and she goes on to tell how sick she is and how her niece, Celestine Samouillan of Seglan, France was coming to live with her and care for her in her old age. Jeanne says that she does not have much of an estate, but that it would go to her
