My great- great grandmother Elizabeth Barbeau grew up in Minn. MN. She lists her birth place as Canada, French.
Later she married Luke Rowley, Also her sister lived with them
part of the time. Her name was Malvena Barbeau. The Barbeau father is listed as Canadian, the mother Irish. Elizabeth's son Thomas Luke Rowley was born in 1872. I believe she came to MN. when she was five but now I can not find that piece of paper.
