Thanks, guys for the ideas.  I passed them on.
Someone else also came up with the idea of "soldat"
I offered to look at the census myself if he'd give
me enough info to find the reel and page--but, no answer.

Now I have a question of my own.  In Histoire d'Embrun,
there is a table starting on page 68 title "Familles
établies à Embrun entre 1845 et 1861.  A footnote seems
to me to be saying that the year given for a particular
family is not guaranteed to be the year they arrived,
but merely indicates they were known to be in town
at the year stated.  Is that a correct interpretation
of the  http://UniGen.us/Embrun.gif
?

Thanks
