O.k., I will take the time to translate my former message into english:

Some months ago by this forum was announced a "Sensation", a dicovery from the Société JV concerning evidences about some relations of JV to some other women and that there should be also a daughter...

Now the SJV published the result of their researches in the Bulletin No. 159.

I do not understand why it was said this reports are sensational. Bringing it to some culminated points:

1.) N. Percereau and O. Dumas and E. Weissenberg did some excellent researches and analyses
2.) Only "Evidence" or "proof" of some relation between Jules Verne and Estelle Hénin / Duchesne is given by the statement of Jean-Jules Verne in his 1973 biographie where he indicates the name and residence place of a woman to be brought into relation with JV without naming any detailed facts. (Charles Noel Martin lateron (1979) confirmed first that a person of the name Estelle Duchesne was real)
3.) With this informations N. Percerau succeded to find a person carrying this name at this place in the time of interest.
4.) with these new informations Dumas and Weissenberg found now in JV's works a couple of surprising paralells, and with them they constructed some very realistic looking theories.

All this is giving to the questions the appearance that it might (have) be(en) the reality, meaning that Madame Estelle was the secret maitresse of JV and also that they had a child (girl) together. But even in keeping highest respect to the complete research:

all this are and remain theories, no proof is given, also if everything of these theories is looking very right.

And without an evidence ... all this remains an other myth more about the life of JV.

  Bonjour!

  I think many truly want to have answers to these
  questions. If there is no new evidence, then we are
  still in our different intellectual corners, debating
  whatever if JV was homosexual, pedophile, just
  cheating his wife with a mistress, or - as some people
  also think - found sex to be an over-rated activity
  (and that's why he only 'produced' only one child).

  I agree with the urge to know the truth, but could
  someone explain in English what this new information
  relay on? I got the impression, after bablefishing
  Bernhards first message, that this wasn't really a
  huge scoop. Isn't the rumour of Estelles child old?
  And also, what about other rumours?

  Best regards,
  Peter Harold
