Hi Carol, I have lots of Lemerand in my family file. Can you be more specific? My dad's first cousin, Art Lemerand lived across the street from me in Monroe County growing up. All either Monroe or Wayne county and from Quebec. -- Richard Van Wasshnova Seal Beach, CA ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2007 3:16 PM Subject: [MI-GENEALOGY] Lamirand information > Hello, I am looking for any information on the Lamirand, Lamirande, > Lemirand, Lemirande family.?

Rich, I see your last name of wasshnova, and I am getting Lamirand booklets on the family and there is a Mike Wasshnova that is one of the officers listed.? Is that your father or another relative? My husband's family came from Canada and according to the head of the group, Cecile Lemirand, and what I have discovered, John Lamirand and his brother Antoine came to the U.P. and settled near the Marquette-Ishpeming area.? They discovered a short time later, that the weather was better on the Garden Peninsula and the mining there was much safer and easier that the mines were in the Ishpeming area.? John Lemirand and his wife Jane Billings/Billington had several children, with one of them being Octave Lamirand, my husband's grandfather.? He married Daisy??Dixon and they had my father-in-law, Hugh Joseph Lamirand.? He married Lucille Frenette and they had 7 children and my husband was the second child.? Now, John's brother, Antoine and his wife moved to the Houghton area and had a large family there.? Does any of this sound familiar to you?? Who was your relative that came from Canada?? When did he come to the US?? Are you part of the lineage of Pierre?Dulignon de?Lamirand??! Please advise?
