Hard to believe?

What about this clue I found on the Internet among the other clues? Is it valid information or just information copied from someone’s else research?

One clue tells all!

Michel Mignier born around 1610 died in 1727!

117 years old!

Suspicious enough not to trust everything I found yesterday in my search for George Lagasse who married Albertine Deschênes.

I have learned not to trust everything I find on the Internet, or people who say they know it all. Having been hooked on genealogy since 2007 because of old pictures like this one…

I have learned more than just who were my ancestors. Always check first, then check again, and again.

This being said…

This information seems valid though.

I can corroborate this information with this.

Joseph L. Lagassé’s family is seen here. Joseph’s wife is Ellen Lagassé who was in fact Helen Grant whose daughter was Anna Ellen Lagassé born in 1900 whose real name was…

Mrs. Lejeune was the mid-wife.

In 1901, Joseph was a carpenter. Ernest Thibeault was a lodger, and I suspect he was related somewhat to Joseph’s first wife Marie Thibault, Napoléon’s mother.

Marie Thibault probably died when she gave birth to Marie Julia in 1896.

Joseph had to remarry, and he found a new wife living not far from where he lived…

About André Mignier…

This is my file on him.

 

 I hope you trust me when I write something on Our Ancestors.

Don’t believe everything you find on the Internet

Unless you stumble on Our Ancestors…

The puzzle

The puzzle  started  in 2010 when I wrote  this post. 

Two interested people commented, one in 2011, and the other in 2015.

My name is Holly (Legasse) Dube.
I stumbled on your site while trying to find my ancestry.
My father is George Philip Legasse.(originally Lagasse, but was misspelled in the military).

My Grandfather was George A Lagasse. From there I am stumped. I do not have info on my Grandfather’s family.
George was married to Albertine (Deschenes) Lagasse and lived in New Britain, CT.

I was reading your site.
You posted about one of Idala’s sons, George (1908-1985).
He was one of the sons sent to an orphanage.
Did you or Alyce ever get more information on that George???

I don’t know much about that part of my family.
I was just reunited with my father 2 years ago.

My father and my Uncle Gene may have more information on my Grandfather George.

I would love to be in contact with Holly from above comment or anyone in relation to “George was married to Albertine (Deschenes) Lagasse and lived in New Britain, CT”.

Albertine is my 1st cousin 2x removed and she has a sister who is currently still living in the same home that Albertine was in at the time of her death. Looking forward to hearing from family members.

I can’t recall if Holly replied to my e-mails, but the next one surely did, and gave me enough clues to look further in the past.

To be continued in Belledune, New Brunswick, Canada in 1901.

Another piece of the puzzle

Albertine (Deschene) Lagasse, 91, of New Britain, died Saturday (Oct. 16, 2010) at the Jerome Home in New Britain. Born in Baker Lake, Canada, the daughter of the late Dennis and Agnes (Boutot) Deschene, she lived most of her life in New Britain. She had been employed at a watch factory in Waterbury and retired from the Fafnir Bearing Co. (now Textron) in New Britain. She was the wife of the late George Lagasse.

Albertine is survived by three sons Robert Blouin of Florida, Gene Lagasse of Rhode Island and Florida, and George Lagasse of Colorado; a sister Martha Roy of Bristol, several nieces and nephews including Cynthia Tenan and numerous grandchildren. She was predeceased by two sons Larry Lagasse and Maurice Lagasse.

Funeral services were held privately.

Could she be the sister of George A. Lagasse?

Stay tuned.

Mission Impossible IV – Part Two

The Brault name struck a cord when I was searching for French-Canadian names with Joe in St. Joseph  Cemetery  in Bristol. So I took three pictures just to be sure I could read the names later.

Elmire Brault’s name was easy to read, but her husband’s name was hard to clearly  see.

I could make out Fanie Lupien, but it looked like Fannie, a woman’s name.

So I got thinking… and thinking, and looking…

Lo and behold Fanie Lupien’s name was somewhere on a list!

Mission Impossible IV – Part One

I never plan before writing something on this blog.

I don’t know if someone or something is guiding me…

I just write like hell!

Walking through a cemetery in 2013 with cousin Joe led me to Steve Myers and also to Jason West.

Agnes Lagaser wife of Leon Saucier

I still had many headstone pictures taken from that cemetery that I would have liked to try searching for descendants of the deceaded knowing how precious this would have been  if someone should be finding his or her ancestors through Our Ancestors.
