I've had Joseph Matrot. Canyou compare Joseph and Peter? These Burgundian families are confusing.

Thanks

I've seen Matrots that were Thierry, Joseph, and Pierre. I'm unclear on the relationship,. or whether they are all separate estates. I think Thierry is the son or grandson of Joseph, and that is same estate, but could be wrong.

With all the division of estates through inheritances, and the succesion issues (sometimes the children keep the name, sometimes they immediately put on their own), it can be very confusing. For instance, Jean Garaudet is now Paul Garaudet (son). Sometimes there can be 6 or 7 growers with same surname - the Boillots include at least Henri, Jean-Marc, Jean, Lucien & Pierre. And the multitudes of folks named Gagnard, Gros, Morey, etc. is bewildering. Dale
