The Viscount de Gontaut- Biron (Élie-Anne-Armand), Former Ambassador to His Majesty, the Emperor of Germany [Kaiser Whilhem I] has the honor to invite you to the marriage of
Madmoiselle Agnés de Gontaut-Biron, her daugthter,

And
to the nuptial benediction given by Monsignor d'Halst, Rector of the Catholic
Institute, on Monday, October 25, 1886, midday, at the Church of the Saint
Pierre du Gros Caillou [Paris].
I.
Ludovic de Gaigneron-Morin (1879-1954?):
Our research uncovered that
perhaps Ludovic was the author of several philosophical works such as
"Vers la connaissance interdite" (1935) and "Du
méthaphysique au physique" (1958). His articles were also published in
the "Mercure de France" (1936).
 |
| Source 8 |
It also appears that Ludovic was one of
the first pioneers of French Cinema. There are several issues of the magazine
"Cinéa" (1921) that make mention of him and a studio. Among the film scenarios
attributed to Ludovic de Gaigneron, the film SYLVIA L'ENCHANTÉE 1929 (Source
12). Of course, the question remains if the philosophical author and movie pioneer are the same person.
 |
| (Source 9) |
In 1908, Ludovic de Gaigneron become engaged to Marie-Joseph de CUMONT. The couple issued one child (Jean-René de Gaigneron). On March 28, 1923, Marie-Joseph de CUMONT died.

Note on Marie-Joseph de CUMONT:
She was the daughter of the Viscount
de CUMONT, Auguste de CUMONT and Jeanne Gilles de FONTENAILLES. Her
sister was Marthe de CUMONT.
I. a Jean-René de Gaigneron
Morin (1908-?), Painter

Jean-René has been confused many times with his uncle, Jean de Gaigneron, since both were painters and used the name of "Jean". However, there is conclusive evidence to support that they were two different people.

Biographical Note:
Our research has led us to conclude
that the painter and art critic known as Jean de GAIGNERON (dit Count Jean
de Gaigneron) was related to the GAIGNERON MORIN branch of the GAIGNERON
family. Born in Paris on February 22, 1890 and died in the same city on January
30, 1976 without posterity (Source 15).
