My Brabant family came from L'Original, Prescott, Ontario to Detroit around 1916 and they all stayed in Detroit. My Grandma was Florette Brabant (born in Hull, Quebec). Her parents Cleophas Brabant and Laura Latour. Florette's parents & 3 sisters all died very, very young. When my Grandma was about 12 she & 2 other sisters ended up in a Orphanage because Laura passed away.
I'd love to talk to anyone from this line. Sometimes it seems I'm the only one searching ;)
Cleophas Brabant's parents: Benjamin Brabant & Anna Boyer
