Frederick Grivois?

Jess0925 — 11 Aug 2008 4:47:45 GMT

I am looking for information about Frederick Grivois, born on July 18th 1885. He was apparently adopted by the Grivois'. I don't know his adoptive or biological parents names which is what i would like to find. From what i know he was born in St-Basile and ended up in Van Buren, Maine. He was married to Azalie (last name unknown) and had a son, Alphé E. Grivois, both of who died before the 1920 Census of Maine. He then married Alice Thibodeau, widow of James Dubay. He was registered for WWI and II, in Van Buren, Maine and Hartford, Conn. respectively. If anyone has any information I would really appreciate it.
Thank you
Jessica

Acadian: Alex Martin and wf Charlotte Mazerolle/Mercures? of St Ann

CCWaters — 19 Jan 2008 4:05:08 GMT

The story goes that Alex lived in a house where the front door opened into Canada and the back door to the US. Several children moved to Lewiston/Auburn, Maine: John B, Alex jr, Basil, Cyr and Susan--perhaps others?

The 1881 St Ann census is included here.

I'm struggling with my search for this family. If anyone can share/post information I'd be grateful. Carol

Rossignol

justgiveer — 26 Dec 2006 6:42:19 GMT

Hi my name is Roy Murrant/Rossignol, and im in search of information that can lead me to my birth parents!
I was adopted in the county court of the judicial district of york,in the chambers of judge John Gilbert on friday the 1st day of sept 1978,I was born in the city of Moncton in province of New Brunswick on april 29 1975 adoption papers show my birth cert.registration number at the time was 1975-03-004612.My adoptive parents are Howard and the late Sandra Murrant of Toronto Ont.My parents Adrien Roy Rossignol and Yvon or Yvonne not sure as to spelling in mothers name. In a picture that i have of my birth parents...at least thats what my adopted mom said ..I can see dads hands with what looks like to be a wedding band but not sure so they might not have same surname.I was told that my father died around my adoption time from Cancer and mother was unable to care for me alone.So I ranged the search from 1974 to 1979 to be sure.Im looking for any information like Death records marriage records birth certs of parents or even phone number any way I can find more info would help. I even tried searching for information on the lawyers office that handled the case but however they are no longer a firm ..I was named after my birth father Adrien Roy Rossignol/Roy Adrien Murrant/Rossignol...see this is a weird sort of story!...lol...supposedly my adoptive mother Sandra knew my birth father Adrien intimately either before my birth or during but anyways a quick story ill try to make it.supposedly my birth dad was stabbed in the lung when he got jumped by some black guys and developed cancer on the lung in the result of the stabbing either in toronto or N.B. but i was told he came here to Toronto for medical help no sure as to kemo or anything but as a end result he passed,i beleive it was in toronto where he actually died but really unsure...anyways was told family had him returned to N.B. for service and burial.. some where during all of this I was supposed to be involved in a house fire that was supposed to be my grandfathers house and he was supposedly trying to burn the house with me in it for insurance purposes! but unsure of this...anyways thats when my birth father Adrien was supposed to have asked my adoptive mother Sandra ,knowing he was dying ,asked her to take me and make sure the family never took posession of me cause of what he thought might happen ..a.k.a. house fire...lol then my birth mom at that time was supposed to have taken me to Toronto for the adoption and had to get married to my adoptive father Howard Murrant..in order for the adoption to take place which she did ! I have collected some actual information after the passing of my adoptive mother...found some adoption papers and order of adoption but seems to me there is some information missing cause there is staple holes in the adoption order papers so i think there was more to them than what I have.
Well this is the story so far compiled....sorry this is long but I think the more I share the more u can help!
thank you very much Roy!..

Catholic Missionary from the Madawaska area to Maine, ca. 1800's

I understand that Catholic missionaries used to go over to the Old Town, Maine area in the early 1800's. (ca. 1800 - 1840) Are there any church records (ie. births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths) for this time period? Where can they be found?

Thanks!

Bruno Dumais and Helene Ouellette CAN > ME > MA

MMcKnight1977 — 2 Oct 2003 8:39:34 GMT

I am searching for information on my Great Great Grandparents Bruno DUMAIS and Helene OUELLETTE.

The couple had at least three daughters:

Cecile DUMAIS (married Leo BROUSSEAU in 1927)
Laura DUMAIS (Leon ROUSSEAU in 1926)
Yvonne Josephine Albertine DUMAIS (married Stanislas KRISTOFEK aka Stanley KRISTEK in 1925) these are my great-grandparents.

In 1902 the family was in St. Leonard, New Brunswick. By 1907 they were in Van Buren, Maine. And then by the 1920s (when all the marriages occurred) the family was all in Fitchburg, MA.

Any info on Bruno DUMAIS, Helene DUMAIS, Josephine DUMAIS, and Stanley KRISTEK would be appreciated.

I have more info on the marriage records, and baptism records for the sisters.

Joseph Roy-dit-Voisine and Julie Emond

PatrickVoisine — 20 Jul 2003 12:46:34 GMT

Joseph Roy-dit-Voisine and Julie Emond were married on January 8, 1827 in Kamouraska (St-Louis). I am searching for information on their children. So far I have found three daughters:

Clementine who married Joseph Saucier in St-Basile, NB on February 1, 1842.

Henriette who married Alexandre Levasseur in Frenchville, ME (Ste-Luce) on October 12, 1846.

Helene who married Pierre Gauvin in Kamouraska (St-Louis) on February 13, 1854.

They possibly also had a son, Joseph Voisine, who married Alphonsine Laferriere about 1867-1868 in Fort Kent or Frenchville, ME, or St-Basile or St-Francois, NB. I am especially interested in a date and place of birth for this son, possibly in Fort Kent around 1841.

Joseph Roy-dit-Voisine and Julie Emond do not appear in either the 1840 or 1850 census for the St. John Valley area of northern Maine and northwestern New Brunswick. Yet two daughters married in the region in 1842 and 1846. Did they come to Fort Kent in the early 1840s but return to Kamouraska before 1850? Did one or both die in Fort Kent?

I am looking for three things:
The date and place of birth of a son, Joseph.
The date and place of death of Joseph Roy-dit-Voisine.
The date and place of death of Julie Emond.

Thank you.
