Surnames: Boisjolie, Boisjoly, Perreault, Perrault, Dion Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VFB.2ACI/4176.2.1 Message Board Post: I'm so glad you've answered, too. The lineage for Boisjolie may be as follows: Augustine and Eugel were children on Oscar (1863 Can to ? prob Holyoke, MA) and Delia (Gaudet) Boisjolie (m. 1885 Moncalm, Can, b.c. 1867 Can to ? prob Holoke, MA). Oscar Boisjolie was son of Urgel Griveau dit Boisjolie (b.c. 1831 Montcalm, Can to ?) and Marcelline Bonneau (m. 9 Nov 1852 St-Jacques, Montcalm, Can) b.c. 1839 to ?). Urgel Griveau dit Boisjolie was son of Antoine Griveau dit Boisjolie (b.c. 1811 Montcalm to 1890)and Marguerite Julie Bosquet (m.c. 1836 Montcalm b.c. 1815 same place d. 27 Sep 1889) The lineage of Oscar Boisjolie is not my own work and I have not yet seen the parish records. The parish records have to be seen to be sure this lineage is correct. In Tanguay Genealogy Dictionary the Boisjolie entries are light and rather disorganized, compared with other family records. They name does not trace, in Tanguay, to families in France but seems to be a name "made-up" in the new world. http://www.genealogie.org/tanguay This is the URL for the dictionary. Tanguay has lots of errors but provides valuable clues and directions for research in Quebec and France. Boisjolie begins on page 329 of the second book of Tanguay and the earliest known Boisjolie was b. about 1690 (no reference to place of birth or marriage to Suzanne Huppe, b. 1690, but he was thought to be son of Pierre I. Then, the next reference shows a marriage in 1727 of Joseph, son of Pierre above to Angelique Huppe in Beauport. The line branches out from there. But at the top of the page is the following: BOISJOLI. - Variations et surnoms (variations and surnames): DAVION, GRIVEAU, BOISJOLY, JOLY, LIENARD, RAVION. At the bottom of the page, there are footnotes showing which of the individuals shown used which "dit" names (in french, dit means "to say"; the person was a Boisjolie but was called Griveau or vice versa [I haven't figured that out yet since I've seen it Boisjolie dit Griveau and Griveau dit Boisjolie]). Included is "dit Jolicoeur, soldat (soldier)" and "Lienard-Durbois dit" and "dit Griveau" However, the family goes from Beaupre parish in 1727, to Pte-aux-Trembles 1756, and 1744 in Trois-Rivieres as well as Lavaltrie. Then, there is a gap of 60 years, or so, until Antoine was born in 1811. The migration back and forth to MN.....there were many Boisjolie in Morrison Co., MN, at Little Falls, and I have their records in 1880 and 1900. I've written to someone in Minneapolis to see if the City Directory lists the comings and goings of Oscar and family there. I haven't been able to connect Oscar directly with the Morrison Co. Boisjolies but the names in Morrison include Adolph, Eugene, Leo(n), Antoine, etc. It appears that descendants of some of these went west to ND, MT and WA states (where I am). My view, presently [from research], is that Oscar went, first, to Minneapolis (probably for work), then, returned to Quebec for a few years (maybe 1891-1894); then, returned to USA to Hampshire Co., MA, where he was a farmer. His wife, Delia, birthed 12 children and 8 were living in 1910. The oldest two were Urgel and Augustine, both born in MN. Then, came Joseph, who was age 16 and born in PQ (province Quebec), about 1894. All eight of them are listed in that census (1910 S. Hadley, Hampshire, MA; family #218-227; ED 719, Sheet 12A. I found Oscar and Eugene (Urgel, Eugel) in the 1920 census where Leo is listed as having been born in NY about 1913. Had they been on a trip to MN when Leo was born? Interesting. You can write to me privately at amerindgen@qwest.net Thanks. KD

I just got in my pssession last year a diary and photo book full of wedding invites, birth announcements, obits and Mass cards from the Faucher family. I know off the top of my head Albert Dion's Mass card is in there. I will look and see if I have anything on Leo Boisjolie, Sr. I may just have a hand written entry in the family diary. I have noticed in my work in genealogy of my family from the Holyoke area, alot of family went MA to MN, to MA again. My Boisjolie line isn't the only one.

Surnames: Perreault Perrault Boisjolie Boisjoly Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VFB.2ACI/4176.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks, Carol. I have all those and an update. I was able to locate George with his parents in the 1910 census and with his mother in the 1920 census; both times in Holyoke, Hampden, MA. His father was listed as Jerry Perrault and his mother was Mary. In 1920, his new wife, Augustine is in the Perrault household at 41 Mosher St. The only Jeremie Perreault I have found so far is the one who was married to Sophie Desseinque (seems to be a corruption of Tessingier, or something like that). I do have George's death cert and obituary. It's making the jump to the correct Quebec parish, now, that is the problem. His record and that of at least one of his brother's gives Montreal....but which parish? Je suis fatigue...... Any ideas? Oh, also, I located Oscar Boisjolie with his wife and family, including Augustine, in the 1910 Census, S. Hadley. So Eugel, who married Rose, and Augustine really are brother and sister and were both born in Minneapolis, MN. Augustine put that on her SS application, and Eugel (EugeneI) put it one his WWI Draft Card. So Oscar Boisjolie really did go to Minneapolis, it seems, then, home to Montreal, perhaps, then back to the US, to MA, in 1900 (per census records). I've spent the morning trying to find him in 1900 but his entrance to the US must have been after the census was taken. I do seem to have his home parish in Quebec, and have a few generations back on that. Augustine's descendants all look very Indian...as though they were at least 1/2. But in all records, so far, they are listed as white or caucasian. The physicals in the WWI Draft cards are interesting, but don't point to strong Indian characteristics in any one record. In 1900, the census-taker listed no race for Eugel, Joseph and Augustine Boisjolie. Maybe they were too dark to really be listed as white and the enumerator, in his confusion, simply left it blank. Maybe Oscar had an earlier marriage to a Minnesota native......except that Augustine lists Delia as her mother on the SSA. Well the plot is ALWAYS thick, isn't it? Thanks, again, for your attention to these matters. All ideas are welcome.

By 1943 there is no listing for any Hopkinson at all. (However, in the 1942 directory there is a Bion Hopkins --wife Etta--at 294 St. James Avenue (a son?) but by 1943 he is not listed either. No occupation was lited in the 1942 directory) I would dearly love to obtain obituaries for both BION and ADDIE C. Yesterday I obtained new information about his grandfather (*until then nothing known about him) from the obituary of his uncle, HENRY J. HOPKINSON. BION's brother RICHARD ORION was a bearer in that funeral in Sherbrooke Quebec. obit in the SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD - April 29, 1920 SDR. (EXCERPT) HENRY JONATHAN HOPKINSON was born in London, England, the son of the late William Hopkinson who came to Canada as a representative of the British American Land Company. Also, it is noted that Orion Hopkinson of Waterville was a bearer. THANK you so much for your offer to find obituaries. BION is most important to me but I would like one for wife if possible.
