Hi everyone, does anyone know who the parents of Francois Xavier Legare and Marie Melanson dit Melancon were. I have been attempting to connect them to the Legare Lineage, without success. Their son, Jean-Louis Legare, was the founder of Willow Bunch [Saskatchewan]. Thanks in advance for any help, you can send my way. Eileen =============== Francois-Xavier LEGARE b: Abt. 1811 in Quebec, Lower Canada. He was a descendant of Gilles LEGARE & Marguerite FONTAINE of France... Gilles LEGARE died before the ship sailed from France; Marguerite and her son, Nicholas LEGARE, immigrated alone in 1655... apparently relatives lived in New France.... d: Aft. October 1882 in St Gabriel de Brandon, Quebec .. +Marie-MELANSON MELANCON b: Abt. 1814 in Quebec, Lower Canada. Her ancestors came to Quebec, from Acadia [Nova Scotia] m: July 31, 1832 in St Jacques **she & Francois-Xavier had 11 children - with 5 dying in childhood; see Willow Bunch book, pp.769-770**, L'Achigan, Montcalm County, Quebec, Lower Canada d: Aft.October 1882 in St Gabriel de Brandon, Quebec =============
