Research team finds secret inside abandoned Paris apartment that had been hidden for 70 years

[post_page_title]Marthe’s family[/post_page_title]

While living in her apartment in Paris, Marthe de Florian gave birth to a son, whom she named Henri, on October 12, 1882. Tragically, Henri passed away at just three months old. Henri had no details of his father on his birth certificate, besides the fact that he was an embroiderer.

Marthe had a second son a little over a year after she lost her first, on April 7, 1884. She named this child Henri in memory of her firstborn and he, too, had no recorded details of his father.
