Hi In Bourbonnais IL in 1854-1855 the following Lapolice family is mentioned among a possibility of 942 different family names, all Roman Catholics. I will not repeat the family name everytime.It is the only Lapolice name there. J. Lapolice, E.\ F.\O.\Sa.\E.\ J.\B. A total of 8 initials all Lapolice family name. I must admit that this is the first time I see this name as a possible French Canadian Marcel Benoit bunker.books@videotron.ca http://www.abebooks.com/home/BENOITBOOKS/ ---------- > From: Lynn Clarke <iowatex1@netzero.net> > To: ILFORD-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [ILFORD-L] Maillioux-LaPolice > Date: March 12, 2000 3:32 PM > > I wish to thank the list members who answered my inquiry about the Chaputs. I re-read the obit for Stanislas and found that he had a sister in Canada that didn't come to Kankaee with the rest of the family. This was Josephine. My grandma was named after her. I was then able to connect to the Chaput's in Canada and traced back to the 1400's! And, all of you were right about Mary Sauve being a LeClerc. > I only have three of these lines left to trace: Mary Desanges Mailloux (b: 1831) and Jean Baptist LaPolice (b:1834). Both came to Illinois in the mid 1800's. > Any information on these two lines would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks again! > > Lynn Clarke-Dallas, TX US > iowatex1@netzero.net > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clarke > > > > ==== ILFORD Mailing List ==== > *********************************************** > Ford-Iroquois-Kankakee Genealogical Mailing List > http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilkankak/ilford.html > ***********************************************
