Hi -- Marie Louise Charpentier is my direct line! I'd be interested in her siblings -- I only have four children of Pierre and Jeanne (Moutard) Charpentier -- Francoise Victorine, Perrine, Jean Baptiste, and Marie Louise. If you've found more, you have information I haven't come across! Thanks again for all of your help! cheers, Gordon The Hero Family wrote: >Info on Charpentier >Vol 3 >Charpentie de La Buardieere >Marie Louise (daug of Pierre and Jeanne Moutard) bapt Sep 21, 1773, born Apr >6, 1773. >Vol 2 has 7 siblings of the above if you are interested >Civil Registration of Orleans Parish has the following (maybe they tie in, >maybe not) >Courtois, Alice (dau of Jaques Simon Courtois, native of Bordeaux in the >Kindom of France, a clock-maker, residing in New Orleans on St. Ann Street >between Conde and Royal Streets and Marianne Romer, native of Blamont in >Lorraine, 20 years old0; born at 3 A.M. on February 14, 1833; recorded on >May 16,1833. >Jobilois >Elizabeth born JAZAN (daughter of Gabriel Jazan and Eurenie Baptiste >Mallorquin; wife of Agustin Jolibois, born in Orleans Parish on July 6, >1807, 21 years old; died at 5:30 AM on July 1, 1829 at her domicile on >Bagatelle Street between Peace and Esplanade Streets. > >Maybe one day the pieces will all fit together. >Pam Hero >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Gordon Bonnet" <jaggy227@fltg.net> >To: <NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com> >Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2004 8:18 PM >Subject: [NISHNAWBE] a quick question > > > > >>Hi, >> >>I'm trying to figure out if two of my French Canadian lines had Native >>American connections in the upper Midwest, as my mother always claimed. >>I have two family names which show up in southern Louisiana, one >>(Morvant or Morvan) around 1750, and the other (Jolibois) around 1790. >>Both originated in Montreal.
