I am descended from Mederise Belanger, daughter of Gilbert Belanger and Malvina Gagnon, born May,1875 in Quebec, married Stephen Clairmont 14 Nov 1892 in Adams, died 6 Jan, 1932 in Cheshire. She seems to have come from Quebec to northern Berkshire County alone around 1888 or 1889. It seems strange to me that she would have travelled alone at such a young age. I can find no relationship between her and the other Belangers or Gagnons living in northern Berkshire County in 1890 and 1900. I surmised that she might have come with her future in-laws, but her husband arrived after she did. I find her parents and siblings living in Canada in 1901 and 1911. There seem to be many Belangers living in Berkshire County today. Are these people all related? Thanks, Carol Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
