I am searching for information on Rebecca Beland b 1829 in NC. She was married to David Pennington Madison Brand b 21 Aug 1825 in Taylor County, GA d 17 Apr 1913 in TX. They married in Milledgeville, Baldwin, County GA 27 Feb 1851. Rebecca and David are listed on the US 1860 census in the Eastern District of Marion County, AL; the US 1870 in the Western District of Marion County, AL; and the AL 1866 census in Township 11 District, Marion County. After that, I can find no more records for Rebecca. If you know anything about Rebecca, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Arthur and Edith Beland are my grandparents. Arthur's middle name is Baptiste not Joseph. Their still-born baby was a girl, her name is Marge.

No, it doesn't sound like it's a connection. But thanks for replying! Good luck to you in your quest!

Hi Donna,

Some names are the same, but timing is off. I have an Alice Beland born in Kanses in 1898, my grandfather's sister, but no other names make any connection. Raoul Louis Beland was born June 1881 in Quebec to Arthur H Beland and Arzelie Nadeau. Sorry - I don't think this helps.

Hi! By chance do any of you have in your family trees, or any information on John or Jean Batiste Beland who married Amanda Gosslin. John and Amanda were French Canadian and my guess is they were born in Quebec. John was born abt Sep 1871 and died sometime between 1910-1920 in Fall River, Massachusetts where they were raising their family. Amanda was born in Jun 1874 and died in 1942 (not sure where). They had Rose Aimee b. 1897, Ovila (my grandfather who changed his name to John Bellanger) b. 1900, Henry (who went into the Coast Guard) b. abt 1904, Frederick b. abt 1909 and Alice b. 1910. I'm looking for their parentage and possibly what happened to the children? Some of the children spent time in an orphanage.

Thanks!
Donna

I am looking for connection to the Rappaneau name. There is an Alma Rappineau/Rappaneau that shows up in Taunton, MA. I am not sure if this is the correct Alma. I am hoping to learn who she married and when? Thank you

Re: Ooops... forgot my grandmother Alma BELLAND

danaomalley1 — 2008-10-26 03:43:16Z

I'm Not sure if you even check this anymore, but I would like to find out more about Alma Rappineau. I am a Rappaneau and it is an absolutely made up name. I was told I have relatives in VT, IN, MI, and many are in MA & RI. The name appears to have been Forest/Forrest/La Forest depending on what the record. I have census records of my GGgrandfather listed as Forrest, then forest, then Rapponeau. His son's all tweeked the spelling as well.
I hope you respond.

Godfrey Beland and Sarah Bertha Curtis

Sanro07 — 2008-07-30 00:42:00Z

Does anyone have information on Godfrey Beland b.23 Dec.1879 in Québec. He married Sarah Bertha Curtis b. 21 April 1884,the 29 April 1903 in Fiche,or Fitchbay, Québec. I believe Godfrey's parents are Louis and Denige. Sarah's parents are David Curtis and Leila Libby. These families are listed in the 1901 canadian census in Compton. Godfrey was listed as a boarder. I'm trying to find out if they remained in Québec or moved to the states.
I'm related to Sarah Curtis. Her father David was the brother of my greatgreat grandmother, Philomene. The Curtis name was originally Casista.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Jennie - I have been doing the same search. I will tell you want I have done and research I have yet to do. The most perplexing thing is I cannot find them in the 1900 census of Alpena County, which I have read three times, by first names as well as last. I also read the census for neighboring Alcona Montmorency and Presque Ile counties. I checked church and Alpena county records and talked with 2 others conducting the same search. I hope to visit Alpena again for some other research. Call me at 313-368-2148 if you want to compare notes.

Additional info - re: Louis Beland b.Illinois - m. - Annie Murray

2006-04-26 14:47:30Z

Any help you could give would be great. The only information I know is that Louis Beland Sr. was born in 1869 somewhere in Illinois. He died in 1963 but I don't know where. He married Annie Murray around 1904 and they had two children named Thelma and Louis Jr. Louis Jr. married Eleanor. Eleanor and Louis Jr. died in California. I believe Thelma married a man by the last name of Willers or Wellers. Louis Beland Sr. and Annie are buried in Zion Cememetery in St. Louis, Missouri. Most of the information I have on this family is from tombstones and from the census records. The census information I do have is on Annie in 1920. In 1920 she was living with her new husband Nick Howard and Thelma and louis. I haven't been able to locate Louis, Annie and Thelma and Louis on the 1910 census or anywhere in Illinois but the census records I do have says they were all born in Illinois. Annie has ties to Cairo, Illinos but I have not been able to find anything on the family there and most of the records seems to be non-existent. I am trying to find out more about the Beland's in order to track the Murray line. Any help is appreciated.

Question - re: Louis Beland

2006-04-26 14:46:13Z

I may be able to help you. Have been doing Beland genealogy for a while. Can you give me an approximate date and place in Illinois for your Louis Beland?

Re: spelling variations

2006-06-05 05:57:32Z

The Balan and Balan dit Lacombe surnames are a different family line than Beland. The former originated with Pierre Balan in the 1600's, while the latter descended from Jean Beland of the 1600's. They were unrelated pioneer settlers of Quebec.

Jean's surname has also been recorded as Besland, while Belland, Bellant, Belant and a half dozen variations have been used. Some Beland and Belland names in the US come also from Sweden, Germany and Switzerland.

Louis Sr. I believe lived in Illinois
Louis Jr. Lived in Illinois when he was small but I am not sure where. I cannot locate Louis, Annie, Louis Jr. or Thelma on the 1910 census in either Missouri or Illinois. I believe Louis and Annie may have divorced sometime around 1910 so Annie may have been living under a different head of household. By 1920 Louis Jr. and his sister Thelma were living with Annie and a Stepfather Nicholus Howard in St. Louis Missouri. Louis Jr. married Eleanor. The last information I have shows Louis Jr. and Eleanor living in California. That is where they died.

Joesph died in1908 leaving his wife a d 6 children. Lived in the Alpena, Michigan area. Have been searching for 10yrs and have come up empty. any help would be appreciated

Re: Additional info - re: Louis Beland b.Illinois - m. - Annie Murray

2006-06-01 16:51:11Z

I can't tie them together yet. Annie's father's name is suppossedly John but he couldn't be the same John that married Jeanette. Annie has a brother named Shelby or Sidney. I am not aware of any other brother's. It is possible there were other though and if the familes knew each other then who knows. Do you know who Jeanette's parents are. It is possible her parents are Annie and Louis if you don't already know her parents. I would have to look at the census information I have again because It may have listed that Annie only had two children which would have been Thelma and Louis.
