Bonjour Everyone, I will follow my cousin Ginny's lead and invite my gr gr uncle, Charles Louis Chiniquy. It was only this last year that I finally, after many years of search, was able to piece together some of this uncles life story. Charles-Louis was born 17 May 1839 at St Roch des Aulnaies, Quebec and was the son of Louis-Philippe Chiniquy, the brother of Father Charles Chiniquy. My Chiniquy line is from Louis-Philippe to Emile-Gaspard to Oscar-Louis to Roland-Marsile to Carol Anne Chiniquy. Louis-Philippe moved from Quebec to St Anne, Illinois at the urging of his brother, Father Charles. Most of his family came with them but Charles-Louis went, instead, to Nebraska where he married Permelia (last name still unknown) The family then moved to South Dakota about the 1860's or 70's where where he and his wife and two daughters settled in Deadwood. Charles-Louis worked for the Pioneer Newspaper as a printer. He was in the Civil War and was a member of the Knights of Pythias. When his two daughters married, they and there husbands moved to California. Permelia died in 1897 and is buried at Mount Moriah Cemetery in Lawrence County, South Dakota. This is the same cemetery where Wild Bill Hickock and Clamity Jane are buried. Charles-Lewis moved to California after the death of his wife and and was last traced to an old solders home in California where he probably died. I still have a great deal of work to do on the life of Charles-Louis Chiniquy. Hopefully I will find more answers and fill in more of the blanks about him next year. Carol Anne
