Re: OLIGNY; CAN>WI,USA; 1832- Pour faire suite a Tanya Hein <trhein@students.wisc.edu> qui ecrivait: Bonjour Tanya >OLIGNY; CAN>WI,USA; 1832- > >My g-g-g grandfather was Noah OLIGNEY (OLIGNY). Based on a newspaper >article from the 1920's, I know he was born in 1832 in St. Remi. (I >believe this is in Napierville Cty near Montreal.) In 1852, Noah married >the next door neighbor girl who was also born in 1832. They raised 12 >children in a farm community called St. Louis. (I believe this is in >Beauharnois County near Montreal.) This is correct except the name should be "Noe" with an acute accent on the letter "e" which sound like NO-HAY or Noah in American style. >>From the Wisconsin marrgiage records of Albert and his siblings, I know >that Noah's wife's name was Marguerite / Margaret (anglicized). It is >unclear what her last name was. It was spelled EMO, RAMIO, and RAYMOND, >probably due to the strong French accent. I think it might have been >RAYMOND as I once looked at a book of marriages for Napierville County in >Canada and saw numerous OLIGNY and RAYMOND. Unfortuantely Noah and >Marguerite were not in that book. The correct surname is RAYMOND.
