Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/EauClaire/527 Surname: KALANQUIN ------------------------- My 2nd great grandfather was Francois Kalanquin, who from 1870 until his death in 1901 resided in or around Eau Claire, Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I believe that Pierre-August was my grandfather's nephew. I have done some research on the Kalanquin line, especially in the Eau Claire area. I have a copy of the 1880 Fed. Census of Eau Claire City, 6th ward which lists one "Klonquin", Chas. J, wife, Josephine and daughter, Josephine, and "Klonquin", Augustus, wife, Maria, daughters, Augustin, Maria, and sister, Amelia. I also have a copy of the Declarations of Intentions that August Kalanquin filed in Eau Claire County, State of Wisconsin on April 3, 1883. Eau Claire City Directories from 1882 - 1885 lists an August Kalanquin. I haven't had much luck in finding family members in other states although I have a copy of the death certificate of Edd E. Kalanquin, born 5 Oct 1887 in Rushville, Nebraska, son of August and Mary Kalanquin, and died 4 March 1966 in Alliance, Box Butte, Nebraska. In my mother's possession is a copy of the death record of Thos Kalanquin who died 15 Feb 1933 in Enaville, Shoshoni, Idaho. His parents are listed as August KaLanquin and Pierquet. Hope this info is of value.
