Hi, Don't know if any of this correlates, but my St. Anne ggrandmother was Ellen (Elena, Helen) Demarse, wife of Julius Giroux. Her second son, my grandfather Julius Jr. , married a Derinda LaPlante (sometimes LaPlant or Plante) in the late 1800's. May be just a coincidence: my ggmother was French Canadian, and many (most?) of the Demars (Demers, Demarse) in the mid 1800's were from Belgium. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerrian D.
