In addition, I found marriages for the following Bourassa's: Marquette Co. Michigan Catholic Church Records. St. John's (The French Church). I think this listing is published but if you cannot find it, I will do look ups. * Napoleon Bourassa, age 25, b. Canada, Occ: Brakeman, no parents listed to Marie Laviolette, age 17, b. Canada no parents listed. 03 Nov. 1886. * Louise Bourassa, age 16, b. Canada no parents listed to Bernard Gibeau, age 21, b. Canada Occ: Brakeman. 23 Nov. 1886. * Cemelida Bourassa, age 19, b. Canada, no parents listed to Antoine Lalonde, 33, b. Canada, no parents listed. 24 July 1875. * Frank Bourassa, age 24, b. Canada, Occ. Laborer, no parents listed to R-Anna Payette, age 15 1/2, b. Dead River. 08 June 1881. (Note by Anita, my sister lived by the Dead River in Marquette so I would assume that is where Dead River is) North Marquette. Note: A genealogist nightmare, no parents listed, but they may be on the actual church record. This church has been torn down. It was where all my family were baptized and where my parents and grandparents married, if any of these people belong to you, contact me for where they may be housed. Note: Since my people were part of the Drummond Island, Penetanguishene Group, I am quite sure that some of these people came from there also. My great grandmother's sister married Etienne Laviolette. She had nieces by the name of Tillie and Josephine, and nephew Joseph that I found so far. He was in the Spainish-American War. One of the girl's married Stuart......written on back of picture.
