Does anyone know the name of a French convent boarding school for girls that was in St-Jerome in the 1910s? Linda Maitland nee Maguire White Rock (Vancouver),BC

Did Honore Piedalu/Prairie have any siblings? Honore was born June 9, 1832 in the Napierville area, I believe. He was married to Philomene Bourdeau and found in Sherrington, Napierville, Quebec in 1881 census and in St. Patrice-de-Sherrington, Laprairie & Napierville in 1901 in census. He was the son of Isaac and Marie-Louise Demers. They were married in L'Acadie, Quebec, Canada. I am trying to make a connection between Honore and Eusebe Piedalue/Prairie who was born Dec. 9, 1870 in Ste Marie-de-Monnoir, Rouville, Quebec. Eusebe was married to Olivine Lebeau in 1894. I was told that Honore's son, Bruno/Bruneau was a cousin of Eusebe's children. Betty

I am once again posting a query for information about Joseph LEBLANC born 25 April 1850 in Quebec. I need parents or place of baptism. This is a 20 year brick wall. He married in MI in 1882 and died in WI in 1907. Lynda Bie queen_bie@verizon.net

Hi Betty, I can read in the repertoire des mariages du comte de Laprairie (1751-1972) B.Pontbriand no.96 page 16 for the complement a St-Jacques-le-Mineur, the following: Honore Piedalue-Prairie married to Philomene Bourdeau in St-Jacques-le-Mineur, Quebec on Feb. 16th. 1858. Honore's parents were Isaac Piedalue-Prairie & Marie-Louise Demers and Philomene's parents were Zacharie Bourdeau & Marguerite Mesnard. Many of their children seems to have married in the Comte de Napierville and St-Jean. In addition here is the following: Isaac Piedalue-Prairie (Joseph & Genevieve Patenaude) married in l'Acadie on August 13th.1822 to Marie-Louise Demers (Joseph & Osithe Comeau). Zacharie Bourdeau (Joseph & Marie-Therese Brosseau) married in St-Philippe, Quebec on Feb.14th. 1825 to Marguerite Mesnard (Michel & Marguerite Desnoyers).

HI Rosie, When I saw your information of translation from French to English and the name COUTURE I thought interesting, Michigan. My great Grandparents were Nazaire MERCIER who married Georgianna COUTURE at St Barnards parish, Dorchester, Quebec. I visited the church in 2001 and there were many COUTURES in the cemetery abutting the Church but no Merciers so I assume it was the area COUTUREs lived in. The reason I am writing is that I have been trying to find a birth certificate for their son, George MERCIER born November 1, 1880 in Ausable, Michigan. There is evidence that they were living there in Census records but can't find a birth record or baptism record. Since they were within two years having a baby in Rochester, NH I can assume they didn't stay in Michigan for long. Also the fact that they has two sons Aselme and Joseph before George in Quebec and the US tells me that they moved where relatives lived. If you need more of their siblings names and who they married I have that information from the Drouin book, what I can't find is Georgianna's burial place after she died from a child being born July 20, 1894 named Marie, in Peterborough, July 24, 1894. My grandfather was their son Emile who was born July 7, 1893 was then given to relatives while Nazaire went West leaving his children to be raised by friends and relatives. He married a woman named Mary GOTHIER in Eau Clair, Wisconsin and then they came back to live on a farm but it was taken to build the Quabbin reservoir. They went back to Canada to live somewhere in the area of Magog and Lake Magantic because their children went to that area to visit. Nazaire must have lived for some years into the 1930's as my mother remembers him coming to visit her father, and family when she was little and refusing to take the children's beds to sleep in and instead slept on the floor by the wood stove at their home in Hardwick, VT. Since Mom was born in 1927 and remembers him I have to assume it was sometime in the 1930's. I forgot to mention I have found many Couture's in Rochester, NH and that area and many Merciers in area of Peterborough, NH so my assumption that they went to Michigan where their relatives lived is a hunch of their behavior previous to and after. I would appreciate if you could check out a birth certificate for George MERCIER. Harriet in NH > Here is a free site to translate French to English and visa versa.

Just wanted everyone to know that I found in the Surry, NH town history my gr gr gr gr grandfather, Silas HEFFLON mentioned as well as Sessions, Hiram, Polly (KNAPP) and that they had come from Rhode Island to Surry. For some who know it is very near the CT River. The people who wrote these town histories cannot be thank enough especially if they included a genealogical listing of all names found in the town. Interestingly it mentioned that Hiram Hefflon had removed to GILSUM, NH and then to MICHIGAN where he died. What a great person in their research that they would have included those kind of details for those of us who search the ancestors. May God Bless their work each and everyone.

...But be careful: this text wrongly concludes that Etienne Lepage came to Nouvelle-France. The act it mentions in 1673 does name him, but only as the father of Constance and states he is deceased at that date.

1152. Etienne Lepage. Natif d'un autre village que Ouanne, près de la ville d'Auxerre, il était encore en vie en 1648. Il a peut-être quitté la France en 1672, avec sa belle-fille Reine Loury, sa fille Constance et son petit-fils René, pour rejoindre au Canada ses deux fils Louis et Germain, sur l'île d'Orléans. Dans un acte de baptême, établi le 27 février 1673 à Sainte-Famille, on trouve en effet le nom d'un certain Etienne Lepage, à côté des noms de Constance Lepage et de René Lepage. Le premier ancêtre de la famille Lepage serait donc décédé au Canada à un âge fort avancé. Père de 576. Avant l'an 1627, en France, il avait épousé : 1153. Nicole Berthelot. Née sous le règne du roi Henri IV, elle était toujours en vie en 1648. Rien ne laisse supposer qu'elle soit partie elle aussi au Canada, comme son mari et ses enfants. Mère de 576. Les deux lignées qui viennent d'être présentées montrent que le nouvel ambassadeur du Canada à Paris, Son Excellence monsieur Jacques Roy, est bel et bien issu de la région de Bourgogne, grâce à ses ancêtres Roy et Lepage qui, dès le milieu du XVIIème siècle, ont quitté Joigny et Ouanne, dans l'Yonne, pour aller fouler la vaste étendue du sol canadien. Certes, ni Ouanne ni Joigny, sous l'Ancien Régime, ne dépendaient des Etats de Bourgogne : Joigny relevait de la généralité de Paris, et Ouanne de celle d'Orléans. Mais la notion de Bourgogne et de Bourguignon, à cette époque, dépassait de loin les limites des circonscriptions. Un habitant de Sens, par exemple, se trouvant loin de chez lui, se voyait souvent défini dans les actes dus à la plume des notaires, ou à celle des curés, comme étant originaire de Bourgogne. C'est donc bien un véritable pèlerinage sur la terre de leur ancêtre bourguignon que les descendants d'Antoine Roy, les 28 et 29 juin, viendront accomplir en la vi! lle de Joigny. Et ce sont bien des cousins bourguignons qu'ils voudront y rencontrer. En décidant de participer activement à l'accueil de nos amis canadiens réunis au sein de l'Association des Familles Roy d'Amérique, les cadres de la Société généalogique de l'Yonne ont voulu lancer un pont, au-delà de leur propre département, entre le Canada et la Bourgogne. Ainsi, notre province d'hier, tout comme notre région d'aujourd'hui, seront dûment représentées à Joigny lors du passage, en juin, des familles Roy du Nouveau Monde en quête de leurs racines.
