Marguerite LeBlanc, b. 21 April 1810 in St Martinville, La. Children of this couple I have as: 1. Andre Emile b. 6 Feb 1824 2. Irene (Hirene) Euranie LeMaire, b. 4 April 1829 (my grt-grt grandmother) 3. Carmelite LeMaire, I think she was a twin to Irene. 4. Aurelia LeMaire, 17 March 1833 5. Valery LeMaire, abt Nov 1835 The LeMaire family is well documented back to Germany and I have all of the research but am trying to piece together the later cousins of my grandmother Irene LeMaire. From what I understand, Andre was a name often given to LeMaire sons and then they were distinquished from others by the use of their second name. It can be confusing. I'd love to have more on the above children and their descendants. Irene LeMaire married my grt grt grandfather John Vachel Stephens. Their daughter Josephine Stephens was my grt grandmother who married Alfred Hebert. Irene died in childbirth and John married her cousin Josephine Trahan and had two daughters with her. My line is: 1. Andre LeMaire dit Edelmeyer m. Rasalie Baudoin 2. Andre LeMaire Jr. m. Marguerite LeBlanc 3. Irene LeMaire, m. John Vachel Stephens 4. Josephine Stephens, m. Alfred Hebert 5. Inez Hebert, m. Ignace LeBlanc 6. Alton LeBlanc m. Dorothy Lehman 7. (me) Terry Ann LeBlanc m. Donald J. Larson I'd enjoy knowing how you all connect to LeMaires and you line of descendancy. I'd also like more on where our common ancestor lived. Terry Larson
