My ggggrandfather was born in Penetanguishene, Ontario in 1834. He went on to become a schoolteacher and eventually moved to B.C. where he married Rose Schubert. His name was Thomas James LeDuc and he continued to teach in Cache Creek and Armstrong where he eventually became a farmer. He later divorced Rose but lived out his life in Otter Creek and remained close to his children. I believe his father's name was also Thomas LeDuc (as were so many others, unfortunately for those searching ancestors) and I think he was born in Quebec around 1811 and later moved to Simcoe county but he may have been born in Ontario. There are so many LeDuc's and I can't seem to find out where this branch originated beyond the info I have. If I knew more about who Thomas James' mother is and which branch his father came from and if he had any sibs, I could go back from there. I don't know why I am having so much trouble with this one time! era but I seem to be stuck here. Perhaps if there are still any relatives around Ontario that recognize any of this info, they could help me. One other thing that may ring a bell is that Thomas James LeDuc married the daughter (Rose) of overlander Catherine Schubert. When she remarried after the divorce, her last name became Swanson. Thanks so much for any help I can get. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
