Well again i am at a loss for words!! But my Marie is really my brick wall. Will give you exactly what i have which is very little. O.K. Marie Landry born ca 1800 in British Columbia. Father worked at Hudson Bay Company. Marie married Duncan McDougall and had daughter Catherine McDougall in 1818 in British Columbia as well as Marie. . Now Duncan was a womanizer or rascal or both as he became father to another child same year his daughter Catherine was born. Duncan died Oct or Nov 1818 near lake Winnipeg. Maries daughter Catherine married Raphael Tremblay and they ran a store at Lac la Biche,Alberta. Never found any more on Marie Landry McDougall. Unless she remarried which i assume she did as she was only ca 18 when her husband died. But also one of Maries granddaughters was named Marie Angeline Adele Tremblay. So have been wondering if Marie Angeline Adele could also be my Marie Landrys real name. All guess work after that except read where a Marie Landry married a Thiabault or spelled some thing like that. Thank you ever so much. Viola.

Hello Viola, I am a Landry descendant. But, Joseph and Marie are so very common names in Acadian families, I am afraid that you will have to be more specific. I have a few of them in my family tree.:0) Cousin John <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Visit the Roger/Rogers/Caissy Website: http://www.caissy.com/ Dansereau Inn and Restaurant 2000 Website: http://www.dansereauhouse.com/ George Rogers Clark Chapter SAR http://grccsar.homestead.com/grccsar.html <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -----Original Message----- From: Viola Seward [mailto:olla@i29.net] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 5:30 PM To: LANDRY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Joseph Landry!!!

Till now the reunion will be held the 28th and 29th of July 2001 and we plan to have it at the Louis-Mailloux High School in Caraquet. The reunion would begin by a formal meeting the Saturday afternoon followed by a meal and a social night with a live music band. The main event of this night will be the presentation of the genealogic dictionary of the Alexis Landry family descendants, "Tome I", which have been realized by Paul Landry. Paul is originally from Pont-Landry, N.B. The Sunday morning there will be a mass at the Saint-Anne du Bocage Shrine, site where Alexis Landry settled with his family after the Acadian deportation of 1755 and became one of the founders of the town of Caraquet. We will close the reunion with a brunch after the mass. Next May, we will send you the details of the reunion like the exact program of activities, the fee for attending, a list of the places (hotels, etc) where you can stay in the area and the person to contact.

Hello. My name is Viola Seward and i was born in Becker County,Mn. Have never lived over 70 miles from my birth place. Now live ca 15 miles from birth place. Turned 66 in Feb. Am not real smart computer or search wise but keep looking. Have had five strokes and brittle bone disease. Have now collapsed three vertebras in my back so a lot of time for sitting at my computer. My ggggrandmother was Marie Landry who was born ca 1800 in British Columbia. More then likely at or near the Hudson Bay Company. Marie Landry supposedly married Duncan McDougall and had daughter Catherine McDougall in 1818. Cannot find any info on my Marie Landry but will not quit looking. It has to be in some ones Bible or tree some where. At this time grasping for any answers or straws. Thank you. Viola.

I first became interested in genealogy in 1979. I soon obtained a completed genealogy of my LANDRY ancestors when I contacted Societe historique Nicolas-Denys, a historical Society based in Northern New Brunswick. A number of years passed and around the time desktop computers started to appear I found the internet and Yvon CYR's website. From then on I have slowly learned more and more about the LANDRYs and Acadians in general. Through internet mailing lists and the LANDRYFAMILY website I met many helpful people and in return tried to help others looking for their LANDRY roots. Suffice it to say I am a descendant of Rene Le juine. My most direct ancestor is Alexis LANDRY one of the co-founders of Caraquet,New Brunswick; one of the many Acadians that avoided deportation in 1755. My most recent interest is in archaeological digs at Beaubassin ( an Acadian village located on the Fort Lawrence Ridge in what is now Nova Scotia,Canada. ) My interest is based on the fact that Alexis lived there with his family up until the French burned the village in 1750 to force the Acadians living there to move across the Missaguash River into what is now New Brunswick. I have just recently obtained archaeological reports from Parks Canada which outline a number of areas in the Chignecto area ( the isthmus between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick ) that were researched in 1968 and later. I am more or less the family historian and I hope to pass my research on to my descendants. I would be glad to hear from anyone with questions regarding the above. Don Landry Ottawa,Ontario Canada

Hopefully it may be of some help to you as well. The site is http://members.home.net/landrys/main enjoy Kevin Andrew Landry landrys@home.com ========= My Landry Geneology by Kevin Andrew Landry Some abbreviations used: b = birthdate bdu = birthdate unknown ba = born around d = deceased date w = wedding day or marriage date f = father m = mother My geneology to my knowledge has always been located in Beresford in the Bathurst Parish in New Brunswick Canada. My family line as far as i know to this date can only go back to my great-great-grandfather, James (Jimmie) Landry. There is some discrepancy as to when he was born. I have checked both the 1891 and 1901 Glouchester parish New Brunswick census in which he is listed as 60 yrs old (birthdate unknown) at the time of both censuses. So he was either born around 1830 or 1840 (you gotta love geneology i have bald patches from where i have pulled out clumps of hair). He Married Louise (maiden name unknown) ba=1837. Their children were, Charley b=Jan 15/1881 (My Great Grandfather) Joseph b=April 2/1886 MaryJane b=Oct 20/1870 Philomine b=July 19/1872 Margaret ba=1874 Celina b=Oct 6/1876 Charley Landry (son of james) married Elizabeth Godin b=feb 6/???? there children were Gerald bdu John bdu Eva bdu Emalda bdu Ida b=Feb 6/???? nun aka Sister Cyrilla Macrina b=Mar 29/???? nun aka Sister Jean De Paul William. C b=Mar 27/???? Lina b=May 10/???? Arthur b=April 19/1908 (My Grandfather) Arthur Landry (son of Charley, son of James) married Martha Jean Bryar b=sept 19/1911 f=Joseph Bryar m=Theresa Christie w=Aug 28/1934 there children were Cyrilla b=May 29/1935 Roland b=Sept 11/1936 Clovis b=June 6/1938 Olivio b=Jan 20/1942 d=Dec 12/2000 (My Dad may he rest in peace) Guy b=Nov 5/1949 Hughette b=Aug 31/1953 Olivio (son of Arthur, son of Charley, son of James) Married Dorothy Madeline Hunt b=Aug 1/1941 f=James Hunt m=Jesse Macdougall who came to the marriage with one daughter and together had one son Kimberly Ann Mason b=Jan 11/1961 f=Lorraine Byron Mason Kevin Andrew b=May 13/1967 (That would be me) Kevin (son of Olivio, son of Arthur, son of Charley, son of James) married Debra Pidgeon b=Sept 27/1961 f=William Pidgeon m=Marilyn McMullen w=Aug 15/1998 Debra brought into the marriage one son Shawn Pidgeon b=Mar 9/1972 Well that would be what I know to date. I realize that there is alot of gaps and missing data which i am currently working on trying to fill, but if anyone is reading this that has tried to trace back their family lineage they will testify that it is a long process. please feel free to pop back in everynow and again and my hopes will be that there will be new information found that will help me close those gaps and fill in those missing links. If you have any information that might help me with my geneology please email me at: landrys@home.com
