Written exacty three years ago!
That was before I met virtually Dennis Lagasse the Fourth from Connecticut, and more than 100 precious old pictures his father Lionel had kept.
Boy was I excited!
Time flies doesn’t it?
Last day of July.
Is time spent looking for our ancestors a waste of time…?
Of course it’s not.
Brian LeGacy told me he could not get to sleeep after I gave him a helping hand and he started digging for himself.
Is it worth losing sleep over our ancestors…?
Of course it’s worth.
Some psychologists say that we can find strength when we discover our roots.
I am no psychologist but I think we might have something there.
Pierre Lagacé and his brother Stanislas Lagacé (Dennis Lagasse) on a park bench probably in Connecticut probably around 1905
You see back in 2007 when I started getting interested in genealogy I did not know Stanislas Lagacé had ever existed. Of course I knew I had a great-grandfather but I knew nothing of my grandfather’s parents. Four years later, I am helping people find their roots.
Joseph Mignier dit Lagacé was the son of Michel Mignier dit Lagacé. You will find some information on the Internet and some also on Ancestry.
But beware!
Some information that are suggested might be erronous down the road. I just found out on Ancestry that some people have “discovered” André Mignier dit L’Agacé grandparents!
Wow that is quite a big surprise…!
WRONG!
I don’t mind some little errors on dates, but this couple got married in 1802! André Mignier came in New France in 1665 with the Carignan Salières regiment.
Oups…
I won’t lose any sleep over this, but I find it a little annoying when some people put such wrong information about their ancestors or other people’s ancestors….
This reminds me of a distant 3rd cousin of mine who had my mother’s birthdate wrong on his family tree. I told him politely. He never changed it!
Go figure…
Finally, the final link to Brian’s roots…
Now Brian can get some sleep.
Now it’s Bonnie’s turn to get all excited.
Our Ancestors 
Definitely not a waste of time….its fascinating!
I have so many pictures with unidentified people just waiting to come back to life again…
Here are some…
Ed is the one who had sent me these.
Ed is related to Jean-Baptiste Alexandre.
The A-Team…
Excellent advice! Too many family trees on Ancestry and other sites have erroneous information that people have just copied from another tree without verifying the the fact. I find it valuable to check posted family trees to investigate possible siblings, locations and dates as it facilitates my research in finding sources for further investigation. Looking forward to getting back to my research in the fall.
Fall is a perfect season…
As a footnote…
No news from the person who was interested about the Molloys.
I know this was not a sprank message.
I believe that Philomene Alexandre and Thomas Malloy are the great grandparents I have been searching for. My father was Frances J Malloy who was son of Ada Pendlebury and Thomas J Malloy. He was placed in an orphanage in 1914 so little is know about his family. Would you share any information you have.
Thank you,
It came from an Ancestry member.
By the way…
I just love it when you comment.
Enjoying the review as I’m seeing the photos anew, especially after viewing all the photos you all have identified. A treasure trove for those of us who had old family photos. It has motivated me to digitize my parents’ photos and to identify the individuals, dates, and occasions.
I could go on with the reviews till the cows come home.
