Surnames: Dupuis, Demers Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JBS.2ACEB/334 Message Board Post: My ggrandmother was Marie Josephine Dupuis (always used the name Mary). Her death certificate lists her father as Julien Dupuis and her mother as Catherine (unknown) both born in Canada. I have located a Catherine Demers in the 1880 federal census in Lincoln, RI. She is listed as the head of household with Mary Dupuis (dau) 24, Joseph Dupuis (son) 23, Sophronia (dau) 22, Julia (dau) 20, Napolean (son) 18, and Louis Menor (gson) 2. I believe this may be my family as my grandfather, George Dupuis (son of Mary) was born out of wedlock and that Mary never married. I do not know what part of Canada they were from. If anyone has any information on this family, I would be very appreciative.
