Hi, my grandmother was a Beaulac (Madeleine) and often told the story of how her grandfather, two brothers and a sister, Jeanne Beaulac (later Lavalle) fled the second French Revolution (from Normandy?) and came to the Vermont @1850.

Henry married a Irish lady named Mary ONeal who supposedly ran a blacksmith's shop outside of Bennington (or Burlington?) . However, the ONLY trace I can find so far is on an 1930 death certificate of one of Henry & Mary's daughters, confirming their names. If this sounds family story sounds familiar to anyone, please email me! Thanks...!
