In this paper the author examines the geographical and familial origins of Dr. Tholozan which contributed to the orientation of his career and future preoccupations. To begin, he evokes a first cousin of his father: Dr. Andre Francois Cauviere (1780-1858), a well known personality in Marseille, whose family originated from the Var department and whose influence on Tholozan seems to have been decisive. The Tholozan themselves came from a village near Embrun (Hautes-Alpes) where they were craftsmen and merchants. Tholozan's father married in Toulon a miss Amic. Her family included various tradesmen settled overseas. It is probably these familial relations which incited the couple to sail to the Indian Ocean. There, six years after his parents' marriage, was born Joseph Desire on the tiny atoll of Diego Garcia, a remote dependency of Mauritius. Later his family having returned to Marseille to live there, it is in this city at the side of Dr. Cauviere who distinguished himself during the cholera epidemics that the future physician will carry out a part of his medical studies before ending them in Paris.
在本文中，作者考察了托洛赞医生的地理和家族渊源，这些因素对他的职业发展方向和未来关注重点产生了影响。首先，他提到了自己父亲的一位堂兄：安德烈·弗朗索瓦·考维耶尔医生（1780 - 1858），他是马赛的一位知名人物，其家族来自瓦尔省，他对托洛赞的影响似乎具有决定性。托洛赞家族本身来自昂布伦（上阿尔卑斯省）附近的一个村庄，他们在那里是工匠和商人。托洛赞的父亲在土伦与阿米克小姐结婚。她的家族中有各种在海外定居的商人。可能正是这些家族关系促使这对夫妇前往印度洋。在他父母结婚六年后，约瑟夫·德西雷在迭戈加西亚这个小小的环礁岛出生，迭戈加西亚是毛里求斯的一个偏远属地。后来他的家人回到马赛居住，就在这座城市，在霍乱疫情期间声名远扬的考维耶尔医生身边，这位未来的医生将完成他的部分医学学业，之后在巴黎完成学业。
