Talmadge H ROUSSEAU [????-????]

He was Talmadge Rousseau.   The Rousseau family came from the Alsace region and as you know it passed between Germany and France with some frequency.  The custom was the eldest for the family, the second for the army and the third for the church – so this Talmadge’s ancestor had become a French Jesuit going to China in the late 18th Century… where they remained. – Talmadge would have been born around the turn of this Century in China and by this time his father had become some sort of non-Catholic missionary and married an American missionary woman from the South.  I think she was a member of some sort of Southern religion called World Missionaries and he lived with missionaries in China and HK..   I think they all left after the revolution in China to go back to the US to the south. 

There were some other Rousseaus' who stayed in China from the 18th Century and were enormously successful with houses in Beijing and Shanghai and several beach and mountain houses for holidays.  Most of these either returned to France in 1949 or Taiwan.  One moved to Hong Kong  but he probably did not even know Talmadge Rousseau the missionary as a generations had passed.
