Pierre Blondin

I've traced my Blondin roots back to Peter Blondin, Born in Canada in 1838. He married a woman named Jane and they moved to Champlain, NY where they raised their family. Their children's names were Albina, Peter, and Ernest to name a few. Does anyone have information on where they came from in Canada? I've hit a wall in my research.

Thank you,

Descendants of Gilbert Blondin & Emma Sabourin

PierreGadbois — 2009-03-03 20:45:54Z

I am searching for descendants of Gilbert Blondin (son of André B. and Elmire Blondin)& Emma Sabourin (daughter of Paul S. and Olive Couillard), married in Montreal (Ste-Cunégonde Parish) on April 19, 1887. They had a daughter Alice, born Jan. 8, 1893 and died in Montreal on or about Oct. 14, 1983, spinster. They also had a son by the name of Albert, born Oct. 25, 1888, who married Albertine Aubé, in Montreal, on Aug. 15, 1910 (St-Joseph parish) who's children might still be living. Gilbert & Emma also had a son Dollard Blondin not found. Other children died leaving no issue. We are looking for information concerning Alice Blondin. If anyone can help us out finding a Blondin or Sabourin relative of Alice, it would be much appreciated. Pierre

Blondin, Ermonteen

richblondin — 2009-02-20 23:16:56Z

I found a Ermonteen Blondin in the 1880 census. He was married Sarah Pikerton and lived in the area of Chester County, Pa at the time of the 1880 census. He was from France and that is the information that I am trying to find. They had a son named Nathan Grim Blondin b.1870, d.1941, he married Bertha M Detwiller, she was born 1873, died 1935.

If anyone can refer me to a good source for research in France it would of great help.

Thank you..............Rich Blondin

Re: (Louis Jos.)Adolphe Blondin(Sureau?)

rauger151 — 2008-12-15 21:40:05Z

we have an Adophe Blondin on our family tree as well, but his parents were Basile Sureau and Marie Louise Giroux. According to our records he maried Emilie Belanger and had a daughter Jeanne Blondin. We were told there was an adoption somewhere along the line. Father was a sureau but the childs name is a blondin. We were told he addopted his sisters son. I cannot seem to find any info either as of yet.

(Louis Jos.)Adolphe Blondin(Sureau?)

mhenloc1 — 2008-10-28 02:31:45Z

I have broken through my stone wall, and ran into another.
Adolphe was baptised Louis Joseph Adolphe Blondin on Jan. 7, 1857.
I found him in Terrebonne, Montreal, PQ, CAN.
His father is Antoine-Adolphe, a mason...NO Parents listed.
Mother is Elizabeth Cooper, parents Iram and Emma Syer. She was baptised at age 18, July 1854.
Adolphe's godparents were Joseph Blondin and M. Adeline Cusson.
Does this ring any bells for you? Can you help me find Antoine's parents?

searching for parents Louise Blondin, VT

I'm searching for parents of Louise Blondin b. abt 1847 d. 1922 Enosburg Falls VT She married Edward Cleophas Richard (abt 1860) b.1838 in St Hyacinthe Canada and d.1934 Enosburg Falls VT. His parents were Toussaint Richard and Angelique Benoit. It appears they lived all their married lives in VT. They had had the following children; Napoleon, Emma, George, Marie Helene, Joseph, Henry, Edward, Maria, and I think there were three more. I'm not sure if she was born in Canada or VT. I have not been able to find a marriage record for her and Edward. In the St John the Baptiste register, Enosburg Falls there is also an Edward Blondin and a Theophile Blondin. Possible brothers of Louise? I would appreciate any information on Louise and her parents.

Re: tightrope walker

jsparklies — 2007-12-22 06:36:25Z

You must have me confused with someone else. I've never been to Arizona! I'm Jody, your grandpa Buzz was my Nana Pauline's brother. My father was Ralph Coomber, Pauline and Harvey Coomber's son. I know your Dad has been to England and seen Pat, and visited the area JFG used to live, and I do believe I may have had an email or two from him, but that's all. Do you ever hear from your Aunt Carol? She came to Powell River a few years ago, and was going to send me some info, but after she left I never heard from her again. She didn't answer any of my emails. I understand she has pictures of my Dad and his brother when they were young, and I'd love to have copies of them!! If you like, you can email me at my usual addie, jsparklies@shaw.ca

Re: tightrope walker

jsparklies — 2007-12-20 23:00:27Z

Debbie, your post on the Blondins has only just popped up in my emails! I had no idea you existed. I am related to Jean Francois Gravelt Blondin through my Dad's side of the family. His mother was Pauline Charlotte Gravelet Blondon. She married Harvey Coomber and moved to Canada, where my father and his brother were born. I am in touch with Rod and with Pat on a regular basis, but neither has mentioned you. I was wondering where you fit in? It's been a while since I worked on any ancestry, and my memory is great, just very short! LOL I need to re read my info to remember all the names and dates, but Henry was my great grandfather. I must admit, I started my search because Blondin was the families "claim to fame" so to speak, but I soon got caught up in the lives of his children! The stories in the closets, and all the family dynamics fascinate me. Would you consider contacting me at my email address jsparklies@shaw.ca. I would love to exchange info, and get to know more about Katherine's family!! Jody

Just to let you know, the line you are researching probably doesnt include Jean Francois Gravelet Blondin. But if you are interested in the JFGB line I would be more than happy to help you with that. :)

Last week a Frenchman named Mack Blonden was drowned in Buffalo Creek. He was seen going into the creek on a horse, and soon after the animal came out without him. On Tuesday the body was found about a mile and half below where he entered. He was a resident of this place for some time, being in the employ of Mr. Lanoue; his age was about 24. He was an active young man, had been a sailor, and thoroughly understood the water. The probability is that he was injured by the horse and so disabled he could not swim. He was to have been married to a young of this place on the 15th. He was a native of Canada, and had no relatives here.

Hello Roderick, I am interested in the Henry line as I am related to Katherine James on my mother-in- laws side. I have been in contact with Pat, whom I guess you know is related to the Wells' and was where Henry lived. I would love to know more about the family and would be very grateful for any info you would be willing to supply. The one thing I would love is if we could find a photo of Katherine as the only one that was in the family disappeared fron Katherine's sisters house during a visit by a distant relative.
Hope to hear from you soon,

Debbie Pople- Griffiths.

Delighted to find more info on Henry. My mother- in law has ties to both Henry and JF Gravelet Blondin. Katherine James was her Grandmothers sister Emily James. on the 1901 cencus Henry was living with her in Hastings as was his Sister Adele. Would love to Know more of this side of the family as much of this was lost due to ? French family inheritence laws. It would be lovely to hear anything from other family members.

I have a great-grandmother Arthemise/Artemise/Emma/Emelie Papineau. She was born in Canada around 1861. She married Charles Daigneault and lived in the Central Falls and Lincoln, RI area in the 1880's. They have John Baptiste and Regina as children. I recall my grandmother mentioning a Mr. Blondin by I was too young to have paid much attention. Could this be in the same line?

Re: Adolphe Blondin m Vitaline Papineau, Rhode Island, 1880

I have Arthemise/Artemise/Emma/Emelie Papineau in my family line. I believe she was born around 1861 in Canada. She married Charles Daigneault. I know they were in the Central Falls, RI and Lincoln, RI area in the 1880's. Their children were John Baptiste and Regina. I remember my grandmother mentioning the name Blondin but I was too young to pay much attention. Are these people in your line?
