Larissa,
Hi. My Father's name was Adelard Oscar Cayer and his Father was Adelard Napoleon Cayer. Dad was born in Rumford and my pepere was born in Quebec. I believe Oscar was my pepere's younger brother. My Grandmother was Eugenie Fraser from Rumford and I believe she was related to the Bourassa family in Rumford by marriage. I spoke a few years ago to an Adelard Cayer who lived in Biddeford.
I do have some additional information and would be glad to share if you are interested. My grandfather moved his family (Elizabeth, Adelard Oscar and Arthur) to Madawaska,Maine in the early twenties to work on the construction of a new papermill (Frasers) and the family stayed on.
There are five of us born Adelard Oscar and marion Rossignol. I am the eldest (Adelard Alfred) and I live in Shelburne, Nova Scotia (see our company web site at
www.oceanproduce.com to see what I do), Richard (Bicky) who has a wonderful home on Long Lake, a fifteen minute commute from Frasers where he and his wife work, Kathy who lives in Coteau du Lac, Quebec and is a Psychologist, Karen an entrepreneur who has just moved back to northern Vermont and Timmy who owns a smallengine repair shop and is a leading developer for the new sport of land luging lives near Concord, Vermont.
