My great grandmother - Sarah LaBrie is the daughter of John LaBrie & Perpeture Demers. Like your ancestors, they were also born in Quebec, Canada. I have heard rumors there is Native blood in the LaBrie & Demers line - possibly Mic-Mac - but I have found nothing to prove or disprove this. I checked the Nora Cemetery site (in Rice Lake) to see if Isadore Demers might be buried there but could not find his name. It is quite possible he is buried in St. Joseph Cemetery or Dobie Cemetery (Our Lady of Lourdes Cemetery in Doby). I'm afraid I have found no link to either of these 2 cemeteries that lists those buried there. I know Perpeture Demers parents are Magloire Demers & Charlotte Couture - but I have never found any of her siblings names. Magloire Demers parents are Joseph Marie Demers & Marguerite Demers ( 2nd or 3rd cousins). Again - I have found no other siblings. Do you know when Isadore came to Rice Lake? Do you know who his parents were? I can check the 1880 census to see if there are any Demers listed. I wish I could be more help to you - if I do find anything I will certainly pass it on to you. You can e-mail me at llj1s@yahoo.com. Best of luck in your search - Laura L. Jones
