Gustave Monod on the Monod family

Gustave Monod (1803-1890)

The book “La famille Monod” (“The Monod family”), which Gustave Monod has published shortly before his death, is an indispensable source of information for whoever wants to deepen his knowledge on this family. The author, one of the “Twelve”, a renowned surgeon, has collected a lot of information on his ancestors, on his parents – Jean Monod and Louise-Philippine de Coninck – as well as on his brothers and sisters and their offspring. When Gustave talks about his parents and grandparents, he may well be a little too hagiographic but all in all his book is invaluable for its wealth of information.

You can download a facsimile version, found on archive.org, or a document in modern layout, which has the advantage of being searchable.
