    1. Duck/LaDuke question
    2. Jolene Killoran
    3. Hello, I was wondering if anyone had information regarding the Duck family in the 1880 Census for Munising, MI. Could it be possible that Duck is a yet another variation of Laduke type names? I am only asking because I am told that my family had Laduke relatives in Munising, MI. Before 1900's there doesn't seem to be any listed. Unless I am looking in the wrong spots. Peter Duck is a trapper abt. 60 living with Louis 30, and Joseph abt. 5. I am looking for Laduke ancestors to fill the missing holes of the family tree. Peter aka Joseph Laduke born abt. 1848-1852. Married 1 unknown of that union a daughter named Nettie resulted thought to be born abt. 1879 from a 1900 census listing. Peter than married 2. Selena nee Sheff Charboneau- can't find marriage record. Selena was at a Catholic Hospital from 1886 until about 1890 Detroit. From 1890 to 1900 Peter traveled all over selling fishing twine to fishermen. I have been told a move from Munising, MI to Grand Marias, MI took place was done by a horse and sled. My great-grandmother as a child had to walk along side at times. I am a little stuck at finding more about this family. Peter is said to have died at a Hospital in Detroit, MI. He used many variations of the Laduke name he could not read or write. 1900 Census Peter Laduque, 1910 Joseph Laduke, can't find him in 1920, Peter Leduke in 1930 living with his daughter's family. A short bio of him listed in a book used the Laduc spelling. I welcome corrections or advise on where I might look next. Thank you. I had found a Peter LaDuke died Sept. 11, 1939 Michigan.
