ON the Bourassa genealogy she is listed as a Bourassa On the Topinabee genealogy she is listed as Madeleine Topinabee Did Joseph Bertarnd marry twice? Where does the name Topinabee come from? that is what i am asking. The reason i ask at all is because her sister Magdeline married a William McGulpin and i am researching the Martineau's who married their daughter, Eleanora Lena McGulpin. Magdeline is sister of Daniel and sister of Madeleine who married Joseph Bertrand Now is her sister madeleine Bourassa or Madeline Topinabee????? i do not understand this. The name changes. why?
