I do not have much on this family except a couple of sentences of a memoire written by a now deceased great aunt. She speaks of her mother Mary Barrette, d/o Frank Barrette and Rebecca Fillion, all being from Quebec, Canada and moving to Seattle, Washington. Mary eventually ends up in Manistee, Michigan where she marries and has several children. Here is what I do have:
Frank Barrette m. Rebecca Fillion. They had 16 children but I only have the names of 4: Reatha, Amanda, Marceline, Mary Odelia (b. 30 June 1880 in Quebec, Canada d. 6 March 1964 in Grand Rapids, Michigan).
Mary Odelia Barrette m. Albert William Magnusson (b. 20 July 1877 in Ludington, Michigan d. 21 October 1944 in Chicago, Illinois). They married 28 September 1898 in Manistee, Michigan. They had 9 children: Gertrude Anna, Clyde Oscar Joseph Aloysious, Lucille Volver Mary, Ingrete Stella, Leona Marian, Retha Mae, Marie Francis, John Joseph, Marceline Mary. All 9 children are now deceased, the last passing away in 1998 and the last spouse passing in 1999.
If any of these names sounds familiar, please email me at
