Mr. Joseph H. HARRISON JR Sidley Austin LLP Wilmette IL, 60091 - USA
Morsang-sur-Orge, September 12th, 2018

Dear Mr. HARRISON,
I am very pleased to send to you my report on the genealogical research I undertook for your sister Edie and yourself. You will find attached all the documents I got from the military archives.
Starting from your father’s written memories, you required my services to find out:

1. Where your father Joseph HARRISON was hidden during WW2 by a couple of French Résistants, in La Bassée (in the north of France). The information given was that « The house was at the corner of a street in the town of La Bassée de Nord ».

2. Who those French Résistants were. According to the elements given by your father in his written memories, we know that:

• When France was liberated, she wrote my parents and gave them her name, Georgette Flinois (page 34/105, Joseph HARRISON’s memories).
• The lady of the house, Mde. Titron (…). The lady introduced herself and introduced her mother and daughter who sat in the kitchen. The daughter must have been about 13 or 14. (page 36/105, Joseph HARRISON’ s memories).
• We looked forward to Christine, the young daughter coming home from school in the late afternoon (page 38/105, Joseph HARRISON’s memories).

3. Identify and locate those Résistants’ descendants and make contact with them.
