We believe that Joseph and David were brothers. David married Philomene Foisey, 21 Nov 1910 in West Springfield Mass. They had two daughters, Philomene Marie Lydia Bernard, born 1 Dec 1892 and Eva Marie Velina Bernard, born 9 Aug 1894. Velina or Eveline as she was known, is my grandmother. She married Samuel Pierre Provensal. This is my mother, Lydia Provensal Tysz, parents. The only infor we have on David is 3 other brothers, Joseph Benard married to Rose Simon, Mitchell Benard, Wilfred Benard. David died at age 40 in Mass, unknown where buried. Any information would appreciate. Thanks. David Tysz Tekoa, WA. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
