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.
