Searching since 2007…
I am tracing the ancestors of a Louis Robitaille [c1902-1962] of New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. He was born in Mass. Parents names currently unknown, but both were born in French Canada. Hoping to trace them to the Robitaille clan involved in the founding of Quebec City that can be traced back to France.
Update: Louis’ parents are Jerry and Lovina Robitaille. Jerry was born 15 March 1846 in Canada and spoke French. He immigrated in 1863. He served in the Cavalry. On his Civil War Pension form and on New Bedford City Directories his last name is spelled “Robetoye”. He is buried at Rural Cemetery in New Bedford, Mass. Lovina’s maiden name is either Secov, Secor, or Decov.
