Do we have sources to validate this 'extra' sister for Cardinal Richelieu. I can't find her on mine, but the fact that she's been given a birth and death date suggests that she wasn't just sucked out of somebody's thumb. Private User you don't happen to have them somewhere do you?

Have just found her name mentioned on a French site, which I'm looking at...will post up the info, if you don't have it.She married a Louis Pidoux...Is that what you have? Very interesting new discovery, this Sharon.

Wow! Found loads of trees for Isabelle, on that site...and the most recent one gives NN Pidoux, as Anthoine Pidoux de la Maduere Pidoux, married to Barbe Cousin...also gives their descendants, Louis Pidoux's parents.dates of Isabelle & Louis's marriage...So this all looks Bona Fide to me..And Very interesting!.

On French Wikipaedia it mentions her as a newly re discovered sister of "The Cardinal"...Also mentions another one newly rediscovered...Marguerite. but says she (Marguerite) probably died in infancy...This is so fascinating Sharon, thanks for bringing it up...I take it you saw her on Geni? Have just seen that profile......

And also found her on racineshistoires, which clinches it for me as that is a very reliable site..She is the third child & eldest daughter of Francois & Suzanne.....Henri, Alphonse- Louis, Isabelle, Armand-Jean, Francoise, Nicole..........I'm sure you have found everything already that I've posted up by now....It's certainly all out there!
