- Simone (maman) is born in Bizerte on 1 August I898. Certificate of Weighing of the parish priest of Bizerte dated 13 January 1899 and the official baptism took place in Nacqueville (near Cherbourg) on 26 August 1905. It is therefore probable that the Hausermanns returned to France in 1905, and during a stay at the castle of Nacqueville (which belonged to the Hersent), they had the baptism confirmed by the parish priest of Nacqueville.
- Jean Hausermann ("Toutouni") is born in Bizerte 17 May 1903
