My ggggrandfather was born Thomas James LeDuc in 1834 in Penetanguishene, Ontario. He went on to become a schoolteacher and moved to B.C. Here, he met and married Rose Schubert and continued to teach school in Cache Creek and Armstrong. He and Rose divorced after awhile but Thomas continued to live in the Armstrong area and quit teaching to take up farming. I don't believe he ever re-married but lived out his life there and stayed close to his children. His father and mother are where I run into trouble. I believe that his dad was born in 1811 in Quebec and moved to Ontario, his name being Thomas LeDuc as well. I cannot find anything on his wife or any other children. The biggest problem is that there are so many Leduc branches and not all being related that it gets confusing. I'm not sure why I am stuck here as I can find the odd thing about Thomas Leduc over the years but I can't be sure if it is t! he correct one (there are alot of Thomas' ) and it sometimes hard to differentiate them. One other thing that may ring a bell is that Thomas James married the daughter (Rose) of Catherine Schubert, a famous overlander. When Rose divorced Thomas, she remarried and became a Swanson. Thanks so much to anyone who can help me with this little hurdle. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
