Brian LeGacy wants to find out the link with André Mignier. I told him we were distant cousins.
I asked Brian to give me more info. He is quick on the trigger just like André Mignier…
“Call me the Trigger…”
Hi Pierre,
I did some research on ancestry.com and found a few more generations for you.
Grandfather – George W. LeGacy born 11 Feb 1919 Princeton, Maine
Great Grandfather – Albert “Bert” Legacy born abt 1891 Maine
Great Great Grandfather – Wallace “Wallie” Legacy born abt 1862 Maine
Great Great Great Grandfather – Louis Legacy (sometimes in census as Lewis Legacy or Legassie) born about 1815 Canada
That’s what I was able to gather from an existing Family Tree project by as Cousin’s Wife on ancestry.com
Hopefully this will help!
Thanks! (Merci!)
Brian

Well I think so.
