Evelyn in Montreal: A Ouellette Line: 1666-1908 (Riviere-Ouelle, Quebec)

Jean Lipscomb left the following message in a Comment Box:

“I have not had much time to spend on genealogy, but I am still looking for information on Ouellette from Riviere-Ouelle.  My grandfather was Alphonse Ouellette who married Alma Plourde.  My last contact was with Rene Ouellette and Celou(?)Ouellette in the late 60′s in Riverie=Ouelle.  My relatives are all deceased, so it has been difficult to gather any information.”
