Ménier surname disambiguation

We believe the many persons named Menier who registered patents were family members. They filed in variable collaboration, also variably involving individuals of other surnames. We currently looking into whether a certain Alexandre Menier is of the same family. "Louis" and "Anacharsis" are specifically described as brothers, within the original of an earlier patent. "Ménier" and "Menier" are often used interchangeably, within single originals. Aside from collaboration between members of this family, there was also that involving Pierre-Joseph Ravel.

• Anacharsis Ménier
• Jean-Baptiste Ménier
• Eugène Ménier
• Léopold Ménier
• Jean-Sébastien Ménier, possibly not appearing as such on originals and likely Jean-Sébastien-Anacharsis Ménier
• Jean-Sébastien-Anacharsis Ménier
• Louis Ménier
• Émile-Justin Ménier is an inventor, though not an aero-inventor, and only possibly a relation.

• Gaston Ménier, mentioned in Regnault, 1915, L'aéronautique dans le présent et le futur
• Ménier, 1875, Mémoire sur la navigation aérienne has author "A. S. Ménier".

Again, in all cases, the accent mark seems to be variably applied ; both "Ménier" and "Menier" are used in French surname listings, and turn up in searches.

• "Menier-J.N. Reithoffer" mentioned in Patent DE-1909-215242 and Vereinigte Gummiwaaren-Fabriken Harburg-Wien
