Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YRB.2ACE/1394.2.1 Message Board Post: I did read that article last month! It was facinating but I had initially discounted it as perhaps not being applicable to me. However, thanks to some email from other members, I now think that one of the "Frank Blaise" lineages she mentions (specifically the Francois Bourgeois/M-Louise R.L'Eculyer) is infact, the father of my "Joseph Blaise". What changed my mind? I did find a "Frank Blaize" in the 1870 census with a son of Joseph. However, the age of Joseph was off by about 2 years. While I know there are many factors that could play into incorrect census information, it wasn't quite the slam dunk I was looking for. However, one of the people who emailed me said he was a decendent of an Andrew Blaise from Vermont. When I did a census search on that I came up with Andrew living in Addison county, same as Joseph. Intrigued, I went back to the 1870 Frank "Blaize" census. I did another search and found a "Frank Blaze" in 1880. The wife and several children matched between the two entries so it clearly seemed to be the same person. What's more, there's an Andrew Blaise in the 1875 census that matches the birth of the Andrew in the Vermont 1920 and 1930 census. Last night this same individual sent me some snippits from the grandson of Andrew Blaise and mentions the names of my great-grandfather Guy and great-uncle Fabian as bearers for Andrew's daughter Eliza in Middlebury, in 1939. This seems to clear up the mystery for me. If I could theorize, it seems plausable that rather than work in the hazzardous mines, two brothers would decide to move to the relative safety of farming.

V. Bourgeois that you should read. In this article she describes a case study of a Blaises family from Keesville, NY. In this instance, and quite by coincidence to the author, the original French-Canadian version of the Blaise name was Bourgeois.

I am not sure if I can fill in specific information regarding the Blaizes of Keeseville; however, I can tell you that Fabian Blaize was a pall bearer for my Grandmother Lillian Benham DOYLE she was married to Frank DOYLE of Keeseville. I have been trying to figure out the connection between the two families and have several pieces of information regarding the family. Does your family know any DOYLE's or MITCHELL's from this area in the 1880 - 1950 time period. The name MITCHELL is connect to Fabian and his wife.

I am also descended from the BLAISE surname although I haven't done a lot of research on it yet. I have been busy working on my WARNER line. My Grandmother was Eliza May BLAISE. My great Grandfather was Andrew BLAISE. I think we are related. I have found some BLAISE data in in the census and I have a bit of family info also, but not much. What you are going to run into at some point, is that the name will change not only spellings as it changes from french to english, but the ealier french surnames also have a strange thing that occurs wherein they take on names called "dit" names, that appear to be of no relation to the name you are looking for. I know this sounds confusing and it is, but there are people who are successful in tracing their famlies through various name changes. I expect at some point that the BLAISE name will jump into canadian genealogies. The native american surnames are even more difficult to trace from what I have read. There are several sites that specialize in French-New York and French-Vermont connections. A good starting place to find some of the names associated with the changing BLAISE surname is the following site. http://www.imagepartners.co.uk/Thesaurus/Search.aspx I have photos of Eliza, Andrew and possibly Guy BLAISE. Would love to share what little I have and recieve anythiung you might have. a native Vermonter lost in Texas Gene Warner
