I received an e-mail from a Mr. Kirby Ashburn, (another Gelino relative) and the following e-mail from Mr. Ashburn serves as a "yes" Hubert had a BROTHER George who resided in Kansas. Mr. Ashburn is the Grandson of Hubert and Milodel's oldest daughter Eva Gelino. It is a lengthy e-mail, but I found it very interesting and maybe someone else on this list will too. Enjoy and if I can be of any other help, let me know. Vickie (Franker) Buettner Anthon, IA ....I think there may have been another son named George Gelino who migrated to Aurora, Kansas ....Hubert's older sister Agnes went out and stayed with a George Gelino in the early 1900s before returning to Kankakee..... *** Mr. Ashburn's e-mail: dated January, 2002: Dear Vickie, I'll do my best to fill you in on what I remember my Grandmother telling me about the Gelino (Gelineau) Family and what I remember from an old French Bible that she had. First off, her mother's first name was actually Milodell (Me-low-dell) and I remember how Grandma pronounced it in French and how pretty the name sounded. I thought that her maiden name was something more like Boudry. Somehow she and Hubert (oo-bare) went from Illinois with Harvey and Eva (my grandmother) to Concordia, Kansas where Arthur, Emma, Adlor and Amile were born. Hubert had serious mental problems and she divorced him and came to live with all those French Families who had come from Illinois and settled west of Royal. As a young girl my Grandma worked for Eli Franker and eventually Milodell married his brother Remy. Milodell and Remy had the second family and she died of pneumonia when she was only 36 years old. She was buried without a marker in the cemetery across from the old Gross Homestead west of Royal. I've e combed every inch of that cemetery in knee high grass looking for anything leading to her, but there is nothing today except toppled stones with all those French names from that era. I'll tell you one thing, my Grandmother thought her mother was a saint and she very well may have been one. Now to the part about the second family. With the exception of Oscar, the kids were put up for adoption and scattered to the four winds. ...Oscar stayed on the farm for a while with Grandma and Grandpa and he remained close to her until the day she died. I saw a lot of him when I was younger and I remember that he told some tall tales. ...My Dad was killed in a rollercaster accident at Lake Okoboji in 1935 when I was 11 months old. My grandparents (Eva And Edgar Morrow) raised me so I was very fortunate in that I got to meet all those old French people that came to visit. In 1952, on a trip back from my sister's wedding in California, we stopped in Concordia, Kansas so my Grandma could visit with Hubert's brother George Gelineau. He was very old and delighted to see her and they spoke French all the time we were there. His mailbox said "Gelineau" on it and I have learned since that is correct and the name was probably changed phonically by the banker in Royal, Iowa. I have no idea what ever happened to Remy (Remi) Franker. I'd be interested to know if you have any information on that. All my attempts on the Internet to find anything on the name of Gelino/Gelineau in Illinois have proved fruitless. Morrow/Moreau is much easier because Great-grandpa Aleck was in the Civil War and there's quite a bit on him in the Illinois State Archives. If at all possible, I'd like to have a copy of the Gelino birth certificates you have from Illinois. If I've missed anything or if I remember any other details about the family, I'll gladly pass them on to you.

Nancy - I received some of my information from another "family member" - Barbara Chase - the following is from her e-mails to me: quote: "According to the 1860 Federal Census/St. Anne, Illinois; Hubert is the 8 year old son of Pierre and Adeline Gelineau who was born in Canada (see Ledoux Bk #00518). This would make him the younger brother of my great grandmother Helene Gelineau/Gelino. I think there may have been another son named George Gelino who migrated to Aurora, Kansas or did Hubert have a son by that name? Hubert's older sister Agnes went out and stayed with a George Gelino in the early 1900s before returning to Kankakee. I am trying to complete information on all of Pierre and Adeline's children and would love to have the names and dates for the family of Hubert and Melodie (Boudreau). Barbara also e-mailed this to the list at one time: This is for Nancy Mallings too and all those interested in the Gelineau line: Bill Gelineau has put his book on this family "Descendants of Elie (Elie the Jew) Jueillineau" (altho he has Pierre only married once to Archange Ares but I have emailed him about the second marriage) online: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/g/e/l/William-Mark-Gelineau/index .html According to his book this is the line: #163, Pierre (9) Gelineau; #80, Antoine (8) Gelineau; #33, Joseph Daniel (7) Gelineau; #15, Daniel Marie (6) Gelinaud; #10, Francois (5) Gelinaud; #7, Jean (4) Juiellineau; #4, Joseph (3) Juiellineau; #2, Olivier (2) Juiellineau; #1, Elie (1) Juiellineau. There is a great deal to read about these families. Barbara Chase ***** I also received the following in an e-mail dated: March 26, 2002 from Barbara Chase: Quote: Here is the information from the Death Certificate of HUBERT GELINO: Registered No. 3966 Date of death: 1 Sept 1930 Cause of death: Organic Heart Disease Place of death: Topeka, Shawnee Co., KS Residence at Death: State Hospital, Topeka Length at that Residence: 22 yrs, 11 mos, 21 days Date of birth: 1851, Canada; Age: 79 yrs Marital Status: Divorced; Wife: unknown Trade: Carpenter Father: unknown; Birthplace: unknown Mother: unknown; Maiden name: Unknown; Birthplace: unknown Informant: State Hospital Records, Topeka, KS BChase end quote ****** I (Vickie Franker) Buettner do have in my possession copies of birth certificates I received from the State of Illinois for Hubert's and Milodel's first born child as well as their 2nd child. Does this help you in any way to confirm where my sources are from with my search for my Great Grandmother Milodel and her first husband Hubert Gelino? My Great Grandfather Remi Francoeur (Franker) married Milodel in Clay County, Iowa on April 3, 1893. They had four children together before Milodel died in 1900. I think Barbara at the same time she was e-mailing me was also sharing information with you and or visa-versa. If I can be of further help with any information on Milodel's second marriage let me know.

This is a dandy. i've been usnig the library edition of ancestry.com on my lunch hours to go hunting for vital records and census films (thankfully, the wisconsin state historical society is right across the street from my office!) and even with soundex variants, i still have missed some of the households i'm looking for. hubert gelino's wife has been listed with so many variants, i can barely keep track of them all. Milode, Milodel, Milodell, Melodel, Melodell, Milosel, Milosell, Melodie, Meladie...and it goes on. then her last name, in my earliest records as Bodric, seems to have also been listed as Beaudry, Bodreau, Boudreau, Bodreaux, Boudreaux, Beaudreaux, Beaudry...there are more, plus mid-life changes through immigration and the like, but just with those, that's 63 combinations! most recently, i was looking for some relatives on my father's paternal side (the Gelino/Beaudry family is on his maternal side) and found them on the 1900 and 1910 census in Martin Co., MN. now, the couple (Clifford and Hattie (Smith) Palmer) were born and raised in WI, as were their children. i've been having a heck of a time finding either of them on earlier censuses, but another researcher was finally able to locate Clifford as "Chifford" in Columbia Co on the 1880 census! silly name variations! -- alyska. ----------- http://www.alyska.net

I believe you may have some correct and some incorrect information about Hubert. The 1860 census shows this family with a very poor spelling of the last name. If you have access to Ancestry .com census records you will find this family listed as Pierre *Jolican* in Kankakee County, IL The parents are Pierre and Adeline.. One of their children is Octave (Octavia) who is my gg grandmother. I believe Peter ( Pierre) shown as 16 yrs old ( who later married Marie Anna Bastien) is an older brother of Hubert's who is shown to be 8 years old in that census. The son George is not shown in 1860. Hope this helps.

Hello. I am researching my Louis Faucher (my 3x Grandfather) married to Marie Amadee Roy Desjardins line. They had sons Sylvester (my 2X grandfather) - married Marguerite Amiot, Augustine (my 2X grandfather - married Marie Paradis, Antoine, John, Achilles, Arthur (Arcer), Amelia and probably more whose names I don't have. Sylvester and Maggie Amiot had (among others) Alec Alexander who married his 1st cousin Delia Marie, daughter of Augustine and Marie Paradis. My grandfather was one of four children born to Alec and Delia, Bertie Sylvester Augustine Faucher. My grandfather married Nora Irene Kame. They had 4 surviving children, 1 son, Frederick Leroy, my mother, Norma Lucille Faucher English Lincoln, Lorraine Marilyn Faucher Dismuke Lawrence, and Eloise Mae Faucher Finley. I am the 3rd of 3 daughters born to Norma Faucher and Leonard Jack English. The Fauchers were with the first group Father Chiniquy led to Kankakee County, Illinois and were excommunicated along with the majority of the parishioners and Fr. Chiniquy.
