Surnames: Lancour Bourassa Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HGB.2ACI/435.1 Message Board Post: I just found a distant relative by the name Bourassa. The names are George who married Agatha Lancour. Their son, one of them was Louis who married Lillie Nontay. If you look up keepers of the south fox island lighthouse in nortport Michigan you can find a photograph of Louis and Lillie. I do not know yet were George's ancestors were from but Agatha was from Mackinac and St. Ignace area of Michigan. She was Chippewa form Mackinac that I know of.... there are Bourassa's on the Saginaw Chip lists and on the Durant Rolls in Michigan. Don't know if it is a connection or not. let me know. Deanna
