A presentation devoted to breathing life into an obscure French Colonial family who left their name on a Missouri city nestled on the west bank of the Mississippi River. The progenitor, Jean Baptiste Girardeau, was born in Moulins, France, in 1684. His story, told with that of his Canadienne wife, Thérèse Nepveu, and their two Illinois-born sons, Jean Pierre and Pierre, spreads across two continents and spans nearly an entire century. Presented by Charlotte Young Slinkard The Thursday Evening Speaker Series is a free, monthly lecture series open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Programs are held at the Missouri State Archives, located at 600 W. Main Street in Jefferson City. Programs are livestreamed on YouTube. The series is underwritten by the Friends of the Missouri State Archives.
