Hey.. So glad to find your site. One day when time permits I’ll find those Canadian families I’ve done some research on. They are both for friends of mine I’ve done work on.
Glad to meet you.

Hi Evely,
I love your site! It’s good to meet another Acadian blogger. I’m sure I’ll visit it often.
Thanks for the Kreative Genealogy award; it’s a lovely icon!

Googled Theriault Lanteigne together looking for an early marriage and found your site. Great history and knowledge shared. Appreciated by all . Please contact me, I have a request
Je suis aussi un mordu de généalogie.
Je suis en train de travailler sur la généalogie d’une lignée de Lagacé dont les ancêtres sont Joseph Lagacé et Elmire Pierrocini.
Un de leurs descendants possède un magasin de vélo à Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines et je lui ai dit que je ferais des recherches pour trouver le lien entre lui et André Mignier dit La Gâchette.
Bonjour Pierre,
Je suis contente de rencontrer un’autre Lagacé!
J’ai visité ton site “Nos ancetres” http://nosancetres.monblogue.branchez-vous.com/ma_page.php et j’ai trouvé tres interessant ton idée de te concentrer sur une place (Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Quebec). Malheureusement, ce type de discipline me manque complètement!

J’ai complété la recherche concernant la famille Pieroccini

Hello,
I have been trying to do some of my wifes family tree for some time now, she is from Montreal area (repentingy) I have alot of hand me down info from her grand mother but its mostly word of mouth.
I live out in San Diego and was wondering what is available online for searching in those areas.
=Thanks
Note for David – I’ll contact you this evening when I get back home.
Bonsoir Evelyn,
Merci d’avoir répondu à mon message. Je cherche toujours les ancêtres Patry, pas facile,… C’est au tour de Charles Patry marié à Célanie Filion de me donner des problèmes, Si vous avez de l’Info. ce serait très appréécié, merci gros!!!

I am looking for information about Marie Louise Deneaul, born 1838 in Caughnawaga, Roussillon, Quebec. She was either my great-grandfather’s (Maxim Raymond) sister-in-law or his mother. (Pihpe’ or who gave the info for his death certificate may have skipped a generation). The Raymonds and ancestors lived for generations in the La Prairie – St. Constant area.
I have a picture of him and some of his children on my Facebook page. He said he was part Native; but that it was his great-grandmother.

je suis en train de travailler sur la généalogie d`une lignée bernard fidéle,mariée a marquerite arsenault dans Île du prince eduard, si vous avez de l`info ce serait trés apprécier merci
Hi Brigitte..do you have an approximate date for this couple?
Hi Evelyn.
Great site! I found the surname Laura on your Kahnawake surname list. I have been searching for my 3rd g grandmother Margaret Leroy. She married francis Labreche, he was French but raised around Montreal. Family tradition says that there were labreches (also spelled LaBrash) just south of Montreal. I have a tin-type(metal) photo of 2 women, one of them looks native. Since I can’t find any info on Margaret leroy I wondered if she may have been native as there are family traits that indicate this. When I found the surname Laura on your site it made me wonder if she could have come from there although the timeline of my Margaret was c. 1800. Do you know how i could find more info on this?
Thanks, Richard

This is just an additional comment I need to make. It was part of our culture to give any one who joined our community ( in the early 1600′s to 1700′s and as late as the 1800′s) a native name. Jesuit priests also received native names. The is well documented in several studies done on Native American People. Some who were adopted by the mohawk nation, became mohawks regardless of their nationality. They were not mohawk, but citizens of the Mohawk Nation. Just as Quebec increases it’s population by inviting different nationalities to gain more Quebeckers. As A Mohawk, I can honestly say that we are not allowed to do this. The Governments probably fear we may rise up and over take them. In the early 1600′s our nation was well over 30,000 in just several villages alone. By the early 1700′s we were almost extinct with several thousand of us left. Mostly scattered throughout Northern Newyork, ontario and Quebec. Small pox infested blankets were given in trade for furs, to the women and children. As well as the firearms that were used to intimidate and kill almost all of us. It’s depressing when you think about it. For an accurate account of life with the Jesuits, read Darren Bonaparte’s A Lily Among The Thorns. Darren is a Mohawk from Akwesasne.

Salutations à vous tous ,
Pour débuter , donnez-moi l’opportunité de vous démontrer ma gratitude pour chacune des super connaissances que j’ai retrouvées sur cet imposant site web .
Je ne suis pas convaincue d’être au meilleur section mais je n’en ai pas trouvé de meilleur.
Je proviens de Saint marys, États-Unis. J’ai 48 années et j’élève deux super enfants qui sont tous âgés entre 4 et 13 ans (1 est adopté). J’adore beaucoup les animaux et je tempte de leur offrir les accessoires qui leur rendent la vie plus festive .
Je vous remercie d’avance pour toutes les très pertinentes débats dans le futur et je vous remercie de votre compassion pour mon français moins que parfait: ma langue maternelle est le portuguais et je tempte de m’enseigner mais c’est très compliqué !
Ciao

Hello! I am researching my mothers family. She descends from Pierre Charron & Cathrine Pillard.
I am trying to find more recent family & history, as they all came to Mass & NH, & Vermont early to mid 1800′s. Antoine Charron, his son Louis and a daughter Flavia ( sweeny) are some of my ancestors. Any help would be great.

Hello I am helping my mother in law research her family we have a photo of 2 ladies together we know the one is her great grandmother Emma Canadian and the other looks to be about a year younger and we were told it was her sister Eliza I have been searching hi and low hoping you can help
So glad to find you – both because we may have some of the same ancestors and because I also enjoy using postcards to fill out a family history! I look forward to exploring your site even more in the future. Thanks for the extent of your work and your dedication to sharing!
What a wonderful site to stumble upon. Any suggestions as to where to start researching my wife’s tree. She is a Lacroix dit Langevin who as far as we know have lived in the Lac des Deux Montagnes area. Her dad gave her some basic info before he passed away, back as far as his grandfather. Are there online sources available ?

Bonjour,
I came across your site while researching my family tree. My great-grandfather, Joseph LaPointe (born 1853) married a woman named Mary Jane Lagace, and I’m curious if she may have been a relative of yours. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Michael
