Gertrude Olive MICHEL who was married as his 2nd wife to Joseph CHERAMI, was daughter of Pierre MICHEL & Marguerite PITRE, Acadians (both of Joseph's parents were natives of France before the Acadians arrived). Pierre MICHEL's parents were Francois (#3 in DGFA) MICHEL & Marie Anne LEGER. Marguerite PITRE's parents were Germain Jean (#15) PITRE & Marie Josephe GIROUARD. Quoting from Stephen A. White: Pierre Michel was a son of François MICHEL and Marie-Anne LÉGER. The connection is made obvious by a number of pieces of circumstantial evidence. For one thing, Pierre was fourteen at the time of La Roque's census in 1752. As you mention, ten years later he was twenty-five and living at St-Suliac, and in 1785 he was forty-six. So these ages match sufficiently well. Additionally, Marie Michel, François and Marie-Anne's daughter who married Joseph Robichaud, was the godmother of Pierre's daughter Marie-Madeleine in 1764. And the two children you mention from the 1762 listing were evidently named after Pierre's parents: Joseph-François and Anne-Marguerite. (This was sent by Andy to ACADIAN-CAJUN list in 2004.)
