Amelia is Gustave Donato's wife. Some of the grandchildren are the issue of Amélie's late daughter, Adelaïde, and Amélie's two husbands husband, Alfred Lemelle and Don Louis Lemelle. The other grandchildren are the issue of Amélie's other late daughter and her husband Ursin Lenormand [Norman]. Gustave Donato prays, at the heirs' request, to be appointed administrator of the estate.
