Re: Vitaline Brunelle

pamholl — 2011-09-11 21:07:51Z

The dates are wrong. Louisa died February 12, 1870 so very unlikely she had any children after 1870. The birthdate I have for Vitaline Brunelle married to Pierre King aka Roy Primeau is June 27, 1854 and I believe she and John Baptiste Brunelle were twins. Are you sure the Vitaline you are looking for was born in 1882?

Brunelle Help Needed

modoc31 — 2011-09-08 21:32:43Z

Hi Everyone,

I have hit a road block with my Brunelle line. I am seeking information on Phillippe Brunelle and his wife Malvina Pigeon. I have most of the information on their 13 children.

They were married in Saint-François-Xavier-de-Shefford Parish in 1871. The parish records according to family search only go back to 1859. Anyone familiar with how this parish might have been restructured in 1859? What was the name of the parish prior to 1859?

I am trying to locate their baptismal records and information on their parents. Phillippe Brunelle's parents were Augstin and marguerite Bernard. Malvina Pigeon's parents were Regis and Marie brubon.

Thank you.

Hi, dont know if this is related or not but my Mother's older step brother's name was Camille Brunelle and he married a woman named Eunice. This Camille was born and raised in Montreal so dont know if it is him or not. There was a big age difference between my Mother and Camille so they did not really keep in touch.

Re: Camille P Brunelle

trubru56 — 2011-07-23 06:00:35Z

Hi Caryl,
My husband, Cliff, and you are cousins. Bernard was his father. Dolly, Cliff and Richard all relocated to Ontario. Dolly moved from Cornwall, Ontario to Toronto. She remarried and in 1986, was widowed again. She died a few years ago (2003). Cliff married twice. I'm his 2nd wife. Cliff has 4 daughters (2 from ea. marriage) and 5 grandchildren. Do you have information regarding Camille and who his parents were? Any family hx of Ethel Rose? We are searching for photos and their family hx of his grandparents.

Re: Camille P Brunelle

CarylGodwin — 2011-07-22 23:40:52Z

Wow, my grandfather is Camille P. Brunelle and he was born in Lowell, Mass. His second wife was Ethel Evelyn Rose, who went by the name Evelyn. They had 3 children Oswald, Bernard and Shirley. Shirley is my Mother and still alive. Ethel Rose was one of 10 children and was Jewish. I only know that Bernard was married to Dolly and had 2 children Richard (I think) and Clifford, who I remember. I think he may have had a step son too but not sure. I think I remember Dolly and Clifford moving to Ontario. Camille died in 1943.

Re: Marie Brunelle m. Francois Xavier Turpin, 1844

pamholl — 2011-05-19 15:33:16Z

The record of their marriage is at the Minnesota Historical Society B.A.S2C3 Vol. 1 & 2. Registre pour le baptemes, les mariages, et les morts, Qui'out Eglise St Pierre, et a St Paul depuis l'annee 1840, Marriage record #26. They were married by Father Augustin Ravoux at Mendota, MN St Peter's Church (a log cabin at the time.) Witnesses were Baptist Beauhenor and Sophie Leclair. The church was in Wabasha Territory and not Wabasha township when the territory east of the Mississippi River was attached to Wisconsin.

Marie Brunelle was said to be sister of Joseph Brunelle who married Louisa LeCompte.

Re: Katherine Brunelle

attocat — 2011-03-11 22:02:12Z

I see that you have at least one other query on another forum about this lady. It would be helpful for responders if you could combine all the known information about this lady--might save someone some unnecessary research.

Suggestion: since these are fairly uncommon surnames, perhaps you could look for her parents (father, mother, stepfather) in the Social Security Death Index. If you can find their deaths, perhaps you can find their obituaries, too. These obits (maybe even death certificates) might provide clues about the daughter.

Good luck!

Seeking info - Clara G. Brunelle

modoc31 — 2011-02-11 14:07:37Z

Good day,

I am seeking information on a Clara G. Brunelle. She is my Great Grandmother. What little I know I will detail below. If you can provide anything please post here or email me directly at modoc31@gmail.com

My grandfather, Harvey Harold Berger was born Feb 1927 in MA. On the re-issue of his baptismal certificate from St. Michael's Cathedral in Springfield (1941), MA his mother's name is listed as Clara G. Brunelle and his father is listed as Randolph Berger. On the 1930 census Harvey Berger is listed as living in an orphanage in Springfield, MA and is age 3. Also, on the 1930 Census I did find Randolph Berger stationed in CT with the US Navy, but I am not sure that this is the same man.

I have not been able to locate any information reading Clara G. Brunelle. No obituary, birth record, no marriage record, absolutely nothing.

What happened to Clara? Did she die young? Did she give her son up for adoption?

Can you help?

Thank you,
Keith Mageau

I am seeking any information re:my grandfather - Camille P Brunelle. We believe he was born in Lowell, Mass and may have been married twice. His second(?) wife was Ethel Evelyn Rose of Montreal, Quebec and they had 3 children (Oswald, Bernard, one daughter) born in Montreal,Quebec. My father was Bernard who died in 1962. Camille's parents may have immigrated from Quebec. Any information with sources or references regarding he or his wife, Ethel Rose (Jewish descent), would be appreciated. Both Camille (deceased in mid 1940s) and Ethel (1972) died in Montreal

Looking for info on Peter Brunelle, born in the 1820s, and his wife Agnes Belrose, born in the 1850s. Peter may have been born in Canada. Lived in Vermont and Danielson, CT. Known children are George Henry, Agnes, and David, but there were supposedly many others. This was not Agnes Belrose's only marriage, and I suspect it wasn't Peter's only marriage either.

Re: Joseph & Virginie BRUNELLE of Lowell, MA (born Canada)

wbrunelle1 — 2010-02-23 04:00:17Z

Sorry Harriet, but the Brunelles of Canada did not immigrate as Brunelles. Sounds weird, doesn't it?

The progenitor of most Brunelles in Canada was Hilaire Limousin dit Beaufort (1633-l708) from the city of Poitiers in the old French province of Poitou. He came from France in 1665 as a soldier in the Carignan-Salières Regiment. He took the "dit name" when he was a soldier, a common practice, which in Canada extended to civilians as well (dit = also known as). Because the early colonists were so prolific it became more and more necessary to adopt dit names to differentiate one line from another with the same surname, particularly since there was not a lot of variation in first names (Joseph, Pierre, François, Paul,René etc. often repeated).

Anyway, Hilaire Limousin dit Beaufort accepted inducements to stay in Canada when the regiment went home to France, married, and had 13 children, of which ten were girls. His son Joseph Limousin dit Beaufort (1692-1770) was the only son of Hilaire to perpetuate the male line.

For some reason this Joseph took another dit name in the 1720s as an adult, dit Brunel. Most Brunelles in Canada descended from the four sons of Joseph Limousin dit Beaufort dit Brunel (I am descended from his son François Beaufort dit Brunel). The third generation dropped the Limousin name entirely and were known as Beaufort dit Brunel, alternatively as Brunel dit Beaufort. After a couple of more generations the Beaufort surname was dropped and the Brunel became standardized as Brunelle.

There also was a Jacques Brunel who came from France in the 17th century (no dit name), but that line was not as prolific.

Sorry for the long-winded version, but the concept of dit names peculiar to French-Canadian research can be confusing. Bottom line. Immigrants from France with the surname Brunelle, including your Gaston, are not related to most Canada Brunelles. My Brunelle research by the way is only my ancestral line, not a one-name study of all Brunelles (there are genealogists who specialize in that, but I don't know of any who do Brunelle research).

Good luck, Bill

Hello Bill,

Do you have Gaston Andre Brunelle born 12/13/1897
France married to Helen F Macudoe
or Macindoe 14 June 1951 California USA. Also married Marie L ? born 1898 France. Gaston died 01/31/1978.

My interest lies with Helen Macindoe as she links into my JENKYNS family. If you could provide Marie's maiden name, Gaston's parents and especially if Gaston produced children.

In 1930 Gaston lived 1930: Oakland, Alameda, CA Ref:1930; Census: Place: Oakland, Alameda, California; Roll: T626_101; Page: 34A; Enumeration District: 19; Image: 0960.

Thankyou and sincerely,

Re: Joseph & Virginie BRUNELLE of Lowell, MA (born Canada)

wbrunelle1 — 2010-02-20 04:43:50Z

Don't know how I missed this four years ago, but here goes. Virginie-Marie Brunelle (1855-1932) was the eldest of 11 children of Pierre Brunelle (1829-1903) and of Clarisse Roch (1832-1910) of St-Norbert-de-Berthier, in what was then Canada East (Québec). She was the brother of my great grandfather Joseph Albert Brunelle (1867-1946).

Virginie came with her family in 1874 to Lowell, Massachusetts. Her husband Joseph was her first cousin. Joseph Brunelle (1857-1947) was the son of François Brunelle (1827-1899), the brother of the above Pierre Brunelle (1829-1903), and of Henriette Plouffe (1830-1879). That family also moved from St-Norbert to Lowell, about 1872. Virginie and Joseph went back to St-Norbert to marry 19 Oct 1879, then returned to Lowell, where they had seven children (a daughter named Marie-Melodie lived less than two years). The other children you cite are consistent with my records.

I have done extensive research on the Brunelle line, every line, including the female lines, back to their immigrations, most of course in the 1600s. I am now in the process of verifying my original research with newer sources and smoothing up narrative notes, etc. I will be glad to help you in any way, but be warned, the ahnentafel back from Virginie comprises 877 pages in my FTM database (581 pages of narrative, the rest being "end notes" which list sources for each fact cited). The standard tree in book form from Virginie on back is 115 pages.

Providing these in hard copy would require too much time, paper and printer toner, but I would be glad to send either or both as large .pdf files. Alternatively, if you want the fun of doing your own research and just want to bridge some gaps, I'd be glad to pare down these "reports" to just a few generations. If you want to send them as .pdf files, it would probably be adviseable to contact me directly rather than through the Ancestry.com site.

Good to finally see some renewed acativity at Brunelle site.

Well this is 4 years late, but if your still looking I can help some. Virginie Brunelle died 8/26/1932 and her maiden name was actually Brunelle. Joseph Brunelle died 1/19/1947. I think, but am not certain that Joseph is the brother of my GG Grandfather Albert Brunelle whos parents were Paul Brunelle and Caroline Halere (don't know how correct this spelling is).

Re: Louise Brunelle born 1859

I hope that this reply finds you. I believe I am related to your Louise Brunelle. My 4G grandmother is Angelia (Angelina) Brunelle Begin whose parents were Joseph Brunelle Jr and Louise LeGros. Angelina had a number of siblings and one of her younger sisters was named Louise. When their mother died early, Angelina took in 4 of her siblings along with her own children and Louise was one of them. We too have always heard that there is Native American in the Brunelle side. We are close to making the connection back to the French/Indian fur trader they came from. Would love to connect with more family.

I can't confirm whether or not Leandre's parents were Joseph and Josette Oligny.
But I can tell you that Joseph Brunel and Josette Oligny were married 28 Nov 1826 at Ste-Marguerite-de-Blairfindie, L'Acadie, St-Jean County, Quebec, Canada. (Attached)
Joseph Brunel is the son of Joseph Brunel and Françoise Maillé; Josette Oligny was the son of Louis Oligny and Josette Tremblay. (The latter Joseph Brunel, son of Joseph Brunelle and Marguerite Desautels, married Françoise Maillet, daughter of Pierre Maillet and Angelique Letourneau on 23 Sep 1793 at St-Mathieu, Beloeil, Vercheres, Quebec, Canada.

My gggrandfather is Leandre (Leon) Brunell (I am not positive about the spelling of the last name--so I'm posting this on all 3 boards!). He was born about 1847 in Lyon Mountain, Clinton Co., NY. He married Emmeline D'Aoust on 14 Nov 1870 in Redford. Clinton Co., NY. My great grandmother is their daughter Josephine, who was born in Lyon Mountain about 1879.

Re: Brunelle surname research, Ontario

storknurse — 2006-12-04 12:09:47Z

There are no online resources for research in pre-1600s France. There are very few records available in that time period and fewer still before 1550. They are in the custody of the parishes and many of the parishes have not allowed access to those records. The ones that have been filmed would be available through the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT. Many people have traveled to France to try to see these records and most are unable to get back any earlier than they already had.
