Although I believe most members of the family either have a copy or have seen a copy of the book written in 1957 by Stanley Marrian (1917 - 2007) and Morton Marrian (1912 - 1998)

I have included a link for those who have not 1957 Book Text

There is also a manuscript by Morton Marrian that was written in 1952 and this gives more personal data on our ancestors. This also may be of interest. 1952 Book Text

My thanks to my partner, Heather, for transcribing the above.

Towards the end of 2008 I received a very exciting email from Michel Despret from Belgium who told me he is presently the oldest representative of the oldest branch of the Despret family existing in Belgium. As well as telling me a little more about his, and possibly our, family (click here for copy of email) - he also attached an article that he had kindly reproduced that relates to a local (to Belgium) forge and blast furnace called "La forge Philippe" which was one of the very first and most important ones owned by the Despret family. As you will see in his email he tells me that the French in the article is difficult to understand but I have put a copy on here (click here to see the article) for those of you that would like to see it.  I also hope to have a translation to accompany this at a later date.

My thanks to Michel for the article.
