A short biography
Adolphe Monod was born on January 21, 1802 in Copenhagen where his father, Jean Monod (1765-1836) was pastor of the French-speaking Reformed Church.
His mother, Louise-Philippine de Coninck (1775-1851) was the daughter of a rich businessman. Adolphe was their sixth child after Frédéric (1794-1863), Henri (1795-1869), Adèle (1796-1876), Edouard (1798-1887) and Guillaume (“Billy”, 1800-1896).

There were four more sons and three more daughters: Gustave (1803-1890), Waldemar (1807-1870), Marie (1809-1886), Edmond (1811-1811), Horace (1814-1881), Elisa (1815-1867) and Betsy (1818-1894). As Edmond died a few weeks after his birth, the brothers and sisters formed a band of “Twelve” comprising eight boys and four girls.
The family moved to Paris in 1808, after Adolphe’s grandfather had lost all his possessions.
Jean Monod had accepted a calling to become pastor of the Reformed Church in the capital of France.
