This is the final resting place of our direct ancestor Philippe Luce who married Anne Ward on May 4th, 1863 in Grande-Riviere (Perce) Quebec, Canada. Their son George Luce (Lewis) and daughter-in-law Clementine Desilva were my grandparents.

HI Evelyn,
I live in Toronto but was born in Montreal. I have a book of genealogy starting with Philip Luce that was created by Thomas W. Luce of Osoyoos, BC
Wondering if you have the same reference book of if your data comes from another source.
Thanks,
Hi David,
No I wasn’t familiar with that book and wouldn’t mind ordering it. I have a variety of sources and will contact you over the weekend with more info. I’m in my first few days of a new school year and brain is not in gear in the evenings!

Hello David;
I am the daughter of Melvin Luce… my grand-father was William Luce. I live in Chateauguay, Quebec and my parents live in Chateauguay, Quebec and are both still alive.
My grand-mother was Margaret Watson who was married to William Luce. I have a geneology report from B.C. also. If I can help in anyway, please contact me.
Take Care,
Sandra Luce
Hi Sandra,
What a small world this is! I live in Chateauguay too and here we are meeting over the internet!
When I have a moment this weekend I’ll pass your message on to David.
Best wishes,
Evelyn
I am Dorothy Madge Lewis Ribble; Father, Hilliard Harrison Lewis; Grandfather, Elie Jean (John Lewis);
Great Grandparents, Philippe Luce and Ann Ward. I have been researching my various ancestors actively
for the past year. I visited Victor Luce several years ago but did not have much information for him.
I am on Ancestry.com dLewis Family Tree…This is a work in Progress….I have been working on my mother’s
side but not as much on the Lewis/Luce side. The information on my great grandmother, Anne Ward is fascinating.
Thank You,
Dottie Ribble
