<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 43089, member: 112&quot;]Well it may not be wrong. Personally I have never of the title Marshal of the Minters - but then I&#039;m no expert on French coinage. I do collect French coinage from this period and I have quite a few books on the subject. I have the names and dates for the directors &amp;&nbsp; chief engravers back to the reign of Louis Capet, but there were several other posts at the mints, perhaps your ancestor held one of those positions. I also did a rather extensive internet search and can find no mention of that name for the time period. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you wish, I have the email address of a very knowledgeable person in France - one I would consider an expert. if you would like to contact him to further your research, please contact me privately by email or PM. Just click on my name anywhere on the forum to do this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
