Wondering if anyone knows anything about a Joseph Bessette, born around 1846 in Montreal, Quebec, married Ozilda Lavallee sometime around 1870, had first 2 children William(1873) and Julie(1875) in Detroit, third child Louis(1877) in Riviere-aux-Canards, Essex, where he spent the rest of his life, and died in 1931 in Essex County. His wife Ozilda died in Essex County in 1930.
I am trying to trace their lineage back further but have yet to find a marriage certificate verifying their parentage.
