The historians of dentistry met two men named Laveran - both with unknown surnames - among the 18th century Parisian "experts" for teeth. Having discovered some notarial documents concerning them, the author was anxious to know more about them and was driven to investigate their possible relationship with Alphonse Laveran, who was born however more than one century later. A special impulse to this research resulted from the fact - learnt from the Lille archives - that Louis Laveran, the grand-father of Alphonse, was born in the same tiny place as one of the two Parisians mentioned above, and was himself a dentist surgeon. At last, the author could identify the ties existing between these Laverans, and collect a lot of informations about their family, from which a selection is given here. In short, the great-great-grand-father of Alphonse was established as a weaver in a small town of the south-West of France (Montesquieu-Volvestre, Haute-Garonne). Among his sons were the two Laverans mentioned above, who became dentist surgeons in Paris. One of them was Pierre Laveran. He was the specialist who was called to straighten the teeth of the young archduchess Marie-Antoinette, before her wedding with the future Louis XVI, in 1770. Then he was appointed as the dentist surgeon of Their Imperial and Royal Majesties in Vienna. Married with Anna Theresia Peska, he died there in 1796, leaving four children born between 1781 and 1787. ...
牙科史学家在18世纪巴黎的牙齿“专家”中遇到了两个姓拉韦朗的人——两人的姓氏不详。在发现了一些与他们有关的公证文件后，作者急于了解更多关于他们的信息，并开始调查他们与阿尔方斯·拉韦朗可能存在的关系，阿尔方斯·拉韦朗出生于一个多世纪之后。这项研究的一个特殊契机源于从里尔档案馆了解到的一个事实，即阿尔方斯的祖父路易·拉韦朗与上述两位巴黎人中的一位出生在同一个小村庄，并且他本人是一名牙医外科医生。最终，作者确定了这些拉韦朗家族成员之间的关系，并收集了许多关于他们家族的信息，这里选取了其中一部分。简而言之，阿尔方斯的高祖父是法国西南部一个小镇（上加龙省的蒙泰斯屈厄 - 沃尔韦斯特尔）的一名织工。他的儿子中有上述两位拉韦朗，他们在巴黎成为了牙医外科医生。其中一位是皮埃尔·拉韦朗。1770年，在年轻的玛丽 - 安托瓦内特女大公与未来的路易十六结婚前，他被请来矫正她的牙齿。后来他被任命为维也纳帝国和皇家陛下的牙医外科医生。他与安娜·特蕾西亚·佩斯卡结婚，1796年在那里去世，留下了1781年至1787年间出生的四个孩子。……
