The stories are just that and have maybe a hint of truth to them, my great grand-father might have camped with the Chippewa one winter or something like that and maybe even shared a warm bed but nothing came of it, if it even happened. The hard thing is that my family both sides did some moving, as I suspect everyone else's in the US did otherwise they'd still be in some sleepy little village in Europe, languages change, nationalities merge, it all makes it hard to trace. It's interesting though, I found out things I didn't know, I never really wondered where the Jersey was that they named New Jersey after, until I discovered an ancestor was born on the island. A little more research and you have an idea of maybe why he left, it was right in the middle of the 100 years war between France and England. He's, or I'm, lucky he wasn't shackled to a ship's cannon somewhere. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I can also see where this stuff is hard to find. I search half of these names and never found the links you just showed. I have learn something else that a french-canadain cousin told me about the "dit" name. It seems back in the day the oldest son had a choice of taking the fathers surname if he did his younger brothers would choose other sur names. Add the different ways that records keepers spelled the same name, Mary Bibeau, Pepeau, Bibot. Finally add that French sounds nothing like English and it's a wonder anyone can trace their family history past the oral memory. Thanks again Chris that was a tremendous help.

Family stories tend to make the search more difficult, you're looking for evidence that may not exist, while ignoring what is right in front of you. "son of Charles Leduc Born ?-1889. Told me that my grand-grandfather was married to an Indian and had two sons Edward and Matthew." I knitted some data back together of the Paul line, this would be the Indian line your great grand-father married, correct? I'm not finding any evidence that Paul was first nation or metis, nor her parents or her siblings. The data provided by joyness1 is relatively correct, the marriage of Charles Leduc to Louise Paul is correct, however those weren't the parents of your Edward C Leduc, it was an his uncle. Your great-grand father was Edward Leduc, a brother of Charles Leduc. He married Rose Paul, a sister of Louise Paul. Rose remarried in 1891 after the Edward's death? (hunting accident?) to Joseph Levine. Edward C Leduc was brought up by his mother (Rose (Paul) Leduc) and her 2nd husband, Joseph Levine. His mother had a few more children with her second husband, Joseph Levine, these be 1/2 siblings to your grandfather, as they share the same mother.

Leduc his first wife died of tuberculosis in 1951, he then married his second wife and moved to CA before he died. What I never asked him as he died when I was only 13 and had no idea of our family history, was why wasn't he and his brother Matthew raised by his mother, Louise Paul instead of the Levine family. I will search further with those names but why he was raised by others is still a question. My Aunt Mary Ann the youngest of Edward's children is still alive and doing well, told me a story of bringing home a family tree assignment from school and when she started asking questions he became defensive about his mother, at the time (early 1950's) metis were looked down upon as subhuman. He told her to tell the teacher that her family tree was none of their business. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Told me that my grand-grandfather was married to an Indian and had two sons Edward and Matthew. We do not know her name or her tribe. My grand-gandfather was shot in a hunting accident in 1889 somewhere in northwestern WI. The two son's were then raised by another french family, the Levines, rather than their mother, which would be normal. The were raised in an area called French Corners, a few miles north of present day Cadott, WI. Grandfather was told his real name when he became engaged to be married, until then he did not know his real name. Also, when Ralph Nader ran for president a few years back his running mate was a native-american woman named Leduc, she was from the Chippewa's in Minnesota I believe. So, I would say yes there's metis Leduc blood out there, proving it will be a little difficult as the indians didn't and in some cases still don't keep written records. The problem is that the US government gives them money and they don't want to admit too many people to the tribe otherwise their share goes down. They do not accept DNA results.

His death certificate states that he died at home at Garnet Street (Route 1, Box 430), Riverside, CA. He had lived there for 7 years and in California for 29 years. He is listed as having been born near Rutland, Vermont. His father and mother are listed as having been born in Quebec, Canada. He was living in Herman, Minnesota, in 1907-1908. I have not located him or his family in the 1930 census, though they should be somewhere in Anaheim. Notes for Elizabeth L. Dodge The 1900 census stated that she had five children, all living. The 1910 census says that she had six children, with five still living. Her name was given on the death certifcates of her son Dean William and her husband. Children: Ralph Willard Leduc, m.

I've used the info you gave me and found Philomene's parents and great grandparents, so I'm moving forward. I do believe this is the right set of parents. Everything fits with what my great-grandmother told my mother. She said her mother died when she was about 2 - hence the marriage to Marie Papineau in 1862. But I find no record of Marie's birth or Philomene's death. According to her, her father never came to get her until she was about 12 and living in Oxford MA - why? She said he gave her to a couple to raise & then the women died & he came and got her - not sure if he stayed in touch in the meantime. She once asked my aunt to bring her to Oxford so she could go to the cemetery and visit the Catholic Church - my aunt didn't really pay much attention at the time. Don't know the couple's surname...and haven't found anything in the Oxford 1870 US census. Are you related to Antoine? Why were you researching them? Just! curious.

Then he moved to RI, married a third time, and died there. I have seen online files where the parents of Marie were wrong, listing an Antoine Leduc and Elisabeth Booth as her parents. To be sure, I traced Antoine and Elisabeth Booth. They could not have been your Marie's parents. Elisabeth Booth died 12 Dec 1876. They had, at least, four children including a son named Raoul. While Raoul married in RI, his Father never seems to have left Quebec. He is in Beauharnois for the censuses of 1881, 1901 and 1911. Also, that Antoine was born 18 May 1839.
