A Strange Thing Happened on the Way to Lewiston, Maine

Evelyn in Montreal: Aubin m. Ouellette, 1882, Nipissing, Ontario

Last week Joan Webster left a request (on the All Things Quebec site)  for translation help with some primary documents that she’s been analyzing.

With her permission, I’m sharing  a summary of the information we developed.

Odilon Aubin,

son of Pierre Aubin and Lucie Goulette

married

Celina Ouellette,

daughter of Narcisse Ouellette and Celina Alaire

Date: January 7th, 1882

Location: Ste-Anne Parish, Mattawa, Nipissing, Ontario

The marriage record states that these Aubins were from St-Luce while the Ouellettes were from St-Jean-Port-Joli.

Mystery RPPC Postcard: (Pt.2) 1920s Quebec Alphonse Turgeon & George Martineau

This is the second post about a “mystery postcard” I picked up on eBay last year. In a former post I mentioned that there was a notation on the back with the names Alphonse Turgeon and George Martineau, and I listed some Quebec Alphonse Turgeons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today I’m sharing some close-ups of that postcard and listing some George Martineaus from the same period.
