On January 7th Ancestry/Rootsweb announced that beginning March 2nd, 2020, they will discontinue their Mail Lists functionality.  Upon receiving this notice Paul L. LeBlanc immediately began searching for another website that could accommodate the mailing list format he uses on Rootsweb.  After much research, he determined Google Groups was the best option.  So he has created two new public Google groups: “Our Acadian Roots” and “Our Louisiana Roots”, which between them will consolidate 77 Acadian and Cajun, 10 uniquely Louisiana, many French surname, and 32 Louisiana Parish Lists.  The new consolidated Genealogy research/discussion groups will focus not only on Acadian and Louisiana ancestors, but also on "All Early French in North America". Come visit the groups' new websites and take a look at the new format: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ouracadianroots or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ourlouisianaroots If you would then like join either or both of them, just click "Join group to post" located at the top left of the page. If any questions or problem joining contact Paul at pleblan@aim.com If you would like to create your own "OUR ______ ROOTS" Google Group for your family or Parish/County, contact me at pleblan@aim.com .  I may have some ideas to help you get started.  In addition, we may be able to add your new group to our new and expanding research family. For more information, Paul L LeBlanc at pleblan@aim.com

They had two children Rita and Henry. Diane died when the children were very young so they were raised by her parents Telesphore and Marie Demers. Rita then married and divorced Francis Raymond Barnes (who hated his first name and often referred to his middle as well). They had 6 children, Loraine (my grandmother), Irene, Diane, Robert, Henry, and Donald. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: susiefpa57 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.demers/592/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My many brick walls included the parentage of my 3rd great grandfather, John DeMarsh (born abt 1829 in Quebec, Canada). He and my 3rd great grandmother, Rosa (Olive?) DeMarsh moved to Wisconsin. They may have lived in New York for a short time before Wisconsin, but there's no documented proof. They had about 9 known children, Marcellia, Esther, Rentus?, Francis Xavier., Charles J., Alexander, Eugene(my 2nd ggf), William, and Albert. John and Rosa eventually moved to Michigan and both died there in the same year, 1923. I found the death certificate for John DeMarsh and discovered his father's name was Francis DeMarsh, but his mother's name was not included. Well that didn't help much, so I thought I would try something totally different....AncestryDNA. I couldn't help myself. I was just tired of hitting the proverbial brick walls. Plus, I'll admit I was totally curious. Anyway, the test results included many distant cousin matches, but only two matches for DeMarsh. ! One was a 4th cousin, with a confidence level of 96%, whose 3rd ggf was also John DeMarsh, and his 2nd ggm, Esther(DeMarsh) Gilbert was the sister of my 2nd ggf, Eugene. That connection was easy to uncover. Unfortunately, this cousin also didn't know the identity of John DeMarsh's parents. The other DeMarsh match was a 5th-8th cousin at a very low confidence level. Her grandfather was Joseph Julius DeMarsh (born about 1869 in Michigan), and his ancestry seems to trace back to Francoise DeMange (born about 1670 in France) and Anne Richard (born abt 1672). Needless to say, I was a little disappointed by this point. Then I visited the Ancestry & GenForum and discovered different spelling variations of DeMarsh. I searched my DNA distant cousin matches for Demers, and was quite surprised at the number of hits. There were 22 distant cousin matches with Demers ancestors. I guess Demers is a very common surname. A total of 5 of these 22 matches had private family trees! , so I was unable to check their Demers ancestors. Anyway, of the 17 that I could check, there were 16 who all seemed to trace back to the same ancestors, Jehan Dumoys (b. abt 1525 in France) and Marguerite Berservoyse (b. abt 1535 in France). The only one I couldn't research did not include birth or death information for their Demers ancestor. Now I know I might be reaching, but 16 matches descended from the same ancestor seems to make it more than a possibility that my 3rd ggf, John DeMarsh, is descended from this Demers/Dumoys line. Plus, in my experience, the AncestryDNA results have been quite accurate. Then again, I guess it could be a coincidence. Please tell me what you all think...I really need help with this one.

I can't find anything passed him and it's more than frustrating. (As I'm sure every one of you guys doing this knows when you hit that wall.) I'm hoping someone can give me a hand. All I know is Jean Demers was nicknamed Frenchie because my family isn't creative with nicknames :) . I don't know if it's French Canadian (which is where everyone kind of lands) or just French. Jean is a very, very common name so there's both an overload and not enough information. I know he married a woman who's maiden name was Murphey/Murphy and together they had my grandmother and her twin sister in 1938. I know he was roughly born around 1900 too. If anyone has anything else to add, I would be so greatful. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
