Author: pqrstny Surnames: LaFave, LeFebvre Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.franklin/6918/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have inherited two photos that my mother didn't even know existed in our archives. On the back of one photo it says "The LaFave family". On the back of the second photo which has a group of 5 girls together, most likely sisters, nothing is written to identify who they are. Two of the sisters look like they are in both photos, but I could be wrong. From old family letters, I was able to discern that my paternal grandmother, Ida LaFave, was from Franklin County. She had a brother, uncle or father named Nelson. I also have copies of the death certificates for Anignor Lafave and Mathilda Fellion who were possibly Ida's parents or grandparents. I also have a letter from Ida's husband (my grandfather) that said the original spelling of Lafave was "Lefebvre". Can anybody put names to the people in these photos? I hope I attached them correctly! If they don't come through, please contact me directly at rogersdotpatriciaatgmaildotcom and I will send them to you. Any help ! is appreciated.

I have several events that I'd like to look up, but don't know where to start. I couldn't find any Protestant records for Chateaugay on microfilm in the LDS Family History Library catalog. Two marriages I'd like to look up are the marriages of my great great grandparents, Dennis Mould to Elizabeth Miller, some time between 1850-1856, and the marriage of Elizabeth Miller Mould Bort (same person) to John Bort between 1866-1869. Elizabeth's family (parents were Philip S. Miller & Helen Hopper Miller) lived in Chateaugay from around the 1830s to 1905. They are buried in the Smith-Green Cemetery.

Write to Malone Catholic Parishes, 306 W. Main St., PO Box 547, Malone, NY 12953 (518)483-1300, mcp@twcny.rr.com, ask for an archival search of baptisms and ask specifically for Lafave, Lefave and Lefebvre and give the years 1907-1910. Tell the whole story to the best of your ability and they may be able to piece it together. Perhaps at that time, the baptism might have taken place at St. Patrick's or another church outside of Malone. At least they can direct you further if they don't have the information. Last I knew, an archival search was $50. PS, I might be a relative, don't know. My great great grandparents were Anignor Lefebvre (Lafave) and Mathilda Fellion. Can't find a Carl Lafave anyplace in Franklin County in 1910. Maybe it was Charles? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am actively researching my French-Canadian ancestors who crossed to the U.S. into Clinton Co., NY, after 1840. The family name is BELL, an anglicized version of the French name LEBEL that had been shorten to BEL for a while. The name is sometimes seen as BELLE or LABELLE. The immigrant family was François Bell and Pélagie Lafetière dit Jasmin. They came with five sons: Louis (aka Lewis), Benjamin, Joseph, Francis, and Alfred. They settled in Ellenburg, Clinton Co., NY and were all basically farmers. Some later migrated into Franklin Co., NY. All the sons married and each had large families. In the latter quarter of the 19th century many of the family members responded to the call to go to work in the New England mills. The migration path was generally to Sutton and Douglas in Worcester Co., MA and later they migrated to mill work in RI, settling in Woonsocket and Manville. I am currently conducting mutually cooperative research with four other people who are related to the French-Canadian BELLs. My objective is to eventually put together a family history/genealogy that tells the story of this family from its U.S. progenitors to the present day. To that end I would like to find a few more folks who know this family well and are adept at genealogical research techniques and conventions, and who would be willing to contribute their work to be part of this story. Each contributor would, of course, be duly recognized in the book for their contributions. I'm not looking to publish this book in large numbers. It would probably be produced in hard copy, one for each contributor, and one to each of perhaps a dozen libraries along the migration path from upstate NY to MA to RI. Additional copies would be made available on a CD in .pdf format, which in turn could be easily printed by anyone who so desired at any convenient KINKOS/FEDEX or similar copy store. The tentative title I envision is: L'histoire et Généalogie des Cinq Frères Bell - The Development of the French-Canadian BELL Family in America. This project will concentrate on the descendants of the progenitors mentioned above. Their ancestors are, of course, always of interest, but there has been substantial material collected and assembled already. It will ultimately be included in the book. However, the key to my current project is accurately describing the family's development in the U.S. Would appreciate hearing from anyone interested and I will gladly answer your questions.
