Folks, Just wanted to let you know that Daniel Fontaine in Montreal has recently joined us. If you need help with Canadian Fontaines, he is the best person to ask. Since he lives only a couple of blocks from the main record respositories in the city, he is able to help with some of your requests. Keep the request simple and provide as much information as possible. Tony Fontaine

Terry, I strongly suspected but now after seeing the response from Tony I'm certain that your husband is descended from the same Fontaine line as my husband. My husband Tony (not the same one as above), is also part of the Pion-LaFontaine line and his g grandfather was Elzear Eugene Fontaine b. 1872. Our other Fontaine researcher, Daniel has sent me the ascendance from Elzear clear back to Nicolas Pion dit LaFontaine who came from France. I can't see exactly where your Jean-Baptiste fits in but I'm sure if we could take your line back one or two more generations we would find the connection. I also have the addresses for a few other Pion-LaFontaine descendants who I'm sure would love to hear from you if you're interested. I look forward to hearing from you. Carol

I have these folks on the PION-LAFONTAINE line that later changed their name to FONTAINE.

I am working on the Jean-Baptiste Fontaine(b1866)/Philomene Huberdeau-Lafrance(b1867) children and families.

Any information on any of these lines would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Terry

Hello Everyone, I am looking for the marriage date & place as well as the names of the parents of Pierre Desmarais and Aglae Fontaine. They appear in the 1891 census return for Auckland, Compton Co., Quebec. Pierre is recorded as 44 yrs. old and Aglae 42 yrs. old. Also recorded are their children: Agnes, 21; Albina, 18; Alexis, 16; Angelina, 14; Alestance, 11, Jean-Baptiste, 9; and Arthur, 8. Arthur was born in St. Hyacinthe and married Eugenie Mineault at St. Malo, Quebec. (St. Malo is just above the State of New Hampshire, USA.) Aglae died 10 June 1918 at St. Malo. Pierre remarried 12 Dec. 1918 to Elmire Serre at St. Malo. Could sure use some help tracing this couple. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you Annette M. Desmarais adesmar425@aol.com

I am looking for ANY information about Francois Fontaine dit Le Suisse. He married Marie-Louise Amable Massy in 1769 in Montreal (Protestant Church). I'm guessing that he was sent over to Canada during the French & Indian War in the 1750s, but I may be completely wrong. Can anyone help? Jane Lavallée Kenn

First, the last question. Varennes is a small town next to Vercheres. Both are located on the south side of the St. Lawrence River a short distance from Montreal, Quebec. Louis-Augustin Fontaine b.23-Jun-1786 Varennes, Vercheres, QC m.15-Jan-1810 Ste-Anne, Varennes, Vercheres, QC Marie Genevieve Dalpre-Pariseau (Gabriel & Marie-Josephte Dion) Children: Genevieve Fontaine b.14-Dec-1810 Julie Fontaine-Bienvenu b.18-Jan-1812 Louis Fontaine-Bienvenu b.2-Dec-1813 Marie Apolline Pauline Fontaine b.9-Aug-1815 Marie Louise Fontaine b.2-Jun-1817 Pierre Fontaine-Bienvenu b.8-Mar-1819 Marguerite Fontaine-Bienvenu b.3-Jul-1820 Leon "Levis" Opportune Fontaine b.11-Apr-1822 Antoine Abraham Fontaine-Bienvenu b.21-Jun-1824 Marie Edwidge Fontaine-Bienvenu 17-Jun-1826 Tharsile Fontaine-Bienvenu b.8-May-1828 Aurelie Fontaine b.11-Apr-1830 I don't have Louis-Augustin's death and burial information or any information on his wife Genevieve Dalpe-Pariseau (besides parents). So what ever information you have on them and their descendants would be appreciated. Tony Fontaine ----- Original Message ----- From: S. Burke Thank-you for all of the information that you sent. I believe my ancestor is the Louis Augustin Fontaine that is listed as born in 1786. My Louis was listed as Fontaine when he joined the York Militia. He was born in Quebec, 1786. By the time he left the Militia, and in the later Census', his last name had been changed to Fountain. I have quite a bit of information for his descendants, and would love to know more about him and his family. Where is Varennes, Quebec? Thank-you again Lisa
