      <description>My mother Evelyn Carson, is the daughter of Della Courville - sister to Anthony.  I have very little knowledge of the Courville family and their ancestory.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.  I guess this would mean that your father Charles and my mother are 1st cousins.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pam (Bailey) Keith</description>

      <description>It's been a long time since I put a message here.  I got side-tracked on other lines in my family. &lt;br&gt;I'm back on Courville. &lt;br&gt;I still haven't found any will or land records on my Jean Baptiste Courville married to Sarah Hudson.  I did find a military record though.  &lt;br&gt;There is a J. B. Courvill that served with COMPANY F, Twenty-Second Texas Infantry, C.S.A.  It was organized March 10, 1862 in Polk CO, TX by Rev. J. A. Scruggs.  The unit became part of Walker's Texas Division.  John R. Oats is a second lietenant.  John R. Oats will marry Sarah Hudson after  JB's death. They must have been friends, I'm thinking.  Anyway, Company F fought at Young's Point, LA June 7 1863, Against the advance of the Federal Army under Gen Bnaks from Franklin, LA (March 14-26, 1864); Natchitoches, LA (March 31, 1864, Wilson's Farm, LA, (April 7, 1964)Savine Cross Roads Mansfield, LA (April 8 1864), Pleasant Hill, LA (April 9, 1864)doperations against Gen. Steele from Little Rock to Camden, ARK including engagements at Mark's Mills, ARK (April 15, 1864 and Jenkins Ferry, ARK, (April 30, 1864).  So, I guess my question is:&lt;br&gt;Did your J. B. Courville serve the Confederacy?  If he did, this might be another matching point or perhaps verify that he was a different JBC than mine. &lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi Jessie,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You might try Google searches for the name in Louisiana.  I think the vast majority of Courvilles in the US reside there.  I can briefly relay the lineage as: France (Courville, which is a small village near Versailles), then Quebec, Illinois, then St. Martin Parish, Louisiana.  Hope this helps.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sebastian</description>

      <description>I have a brick wall in our Turcotte ancestry that I'm hoping you can help me with!  In your posting, it says that COURVILLE was originally an aka name for several surnames including LEFEBVRE and GERVAIS.  Could it also have been used in place of the name LOURNELE?&lt;br&gt;I have Louis TURCOTTE (1841-1924) married to Odelia PATENAUDE (1844-1911).  &lt;br&gt;Here is my problem:  I also have their daughter Mary Genevieve (1866 in NY-?) married to Lucene LOURNELE (no info on him).  The Louis Turcotte family move to St Albans, Franklin, VT by 1878, with many of them staying in that area.  I have not been able to find Mary Genevieve and husband in the census records after their marriage in 1887.  However, I do find a Lucien and Mary CORVILLE/COURVILLE in the years 1900, 1910, &amp;amp; 1920 with their children in St Albans.  The age and birthplace for Mary is the same as my records show for Mary Genevieve TURCOTTE.  I appreciate your input on this!   &lt;br&gt;Interestingly, I have their son John Thomas married to Ida GERVAIS.  I also a LEFEBVRE in a side branch.&lt;br&gt;Thank you!  </description>

Like I said the younger Felix was my great great grandfather who passed away in 1955 and you can find his grave at the Northwestern Gravemarker Gallery @ nocgg.maddoc.net.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you have anymore questions fell free to ask and I'll do my best to help.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wendy&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="mailto://white_wyvern@hotmail.com"&gt;white_wyvern@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>I also research the Courville line. Our first Courville was Pierre Courville,B:ca 1762 at Cahokia,Illinois (Now East St.Louis area) who married EugenieMarie West in Opelouses,LA. His father was Alexis Courville B: 2 Sept 1731 Champlain,Illinois. His mother was Elizabeth Louise Renaud dit Locat. Parents of Alexis are Jean Francois de Billy dit Courville,B;ca 1683 Champlain,Illinois, and Mother was Marguerite Jean dit Vien Vien(supposedly).Jean's parents were Jean Farncois de Billy B:ca 1647 and mother was Catherine Marguerite de la Marche.  Does this match anything you have in your line?&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>I have some of the same info as yours, some dates are differerent. &lt;br&gt;my parents got their information at YAKIMA INDIAN RESERVATION, and White Swan mission, now the Chapel.&lt;br&gt;Of course like you, my dad was able to go their because of his Indian heritage and do research.  They also did research in Oregon along the Umpqua valley where Basil and his brothers moved, traveling to many churches and cemeteries.&lt;br&gt;I have gotten info from Ancesty.com - census, I have copies of them. And talking to the relatives(Which of course is not always accurate)&lt;br&gt;  I also have all of Gilbert Courville's children and Edourd's. &lt;br&gt;Of Martha Mae Hill (you said was your Great Grandmother, same as mine)&lt;br&gt;I have Thomas and Jessie's children(plus all the Fry's ancestors) and of course a lot of the Heckathorn.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't have Henry Lewis Hill's parents though.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My Grandpa Roy only had my dad, George Chandler and my aunt Gene Darlene. Gene had 3 children, Tony has past away. I remember my Aunt Doris from North Bend, Or. and I have some of pottery, but I do not have her children's names.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am trying to get ahold of Aunt Gene, they have been doing geneology for some time.

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.courville/19.32.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Historical records of Jean Baptiste Courville son of Pierre and Mary Eugenie West that I have found in my research show the following:  He was born in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish Louisiana (according to Church records) as indicated by June 30 1825.  He can be accounted for by number markings in the 1830 and 1840 census, 1850 Census and 1860 Census of Louisiana in St. Landry Parish.  His marriage to Louise Taylor on 07-06-1850 is recorded both in civil and church records. She did not die until 1907. His succession (called so in Louisiana but outside of that state known as a will) only lists one wife and heirs as follows:  Alzime Louise Courville born July 21 1851, Hypolite Courville born March 1852, Adrien J. Courville born April 3, 1856, Adrienne Courville born 10-17-1858 and Martin Courville born 29 July 1861.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have seen in a family tree on the internet that he was married to a Sarah Hudson from TN in Texas May 1, 1853.  That the issue of that marriage were Mary Pauline born in 1858, Louisa born in 1859, Ida Clementine born 1861, Adeline born 1864 and John Edward 1868.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If this is the information that you have for him this would mean that he had two wives at the same time and fathered children in both marriages during the same time period.  It would also mean that he managed to be 'home' in Louisiana during census time and to father his children with Louise Taylor.  Although not out of the realm of possibility and I'm not doubting your resources this is a tremendous find!  He was a bigamist and led a double life!  &lt;br&gt;Some of the documented records of Jean Baptiste Courville are as follows:&lt;br&gt;Birth Recorded - Opelousas Church v. 2 p. 320&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Baptism: July 27, 1825, Sponsors: Michel Prudhomme and Sidonie Darbonne, Father Flavius Henri Rossi, St. Landry Catholic Church, Opelousas, Louisiana&lt;br&gt;Southwest Louisiana Records:  Page 97 vol 1869-1870&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1860 Census of St. Landry Parish shows his occupation as Farmer.  Value of his Real Estate was $750 and his personal property was $650.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the 1850 Census Jean Baptiste Fruge is listed as a Planter and on that same page is Jean Baptiste Courville a neighbor and also a Planter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Genealogy is full of surprises but to know a practicing Catholic was a bigamist in another state is a shock nonetheless.  I have found a note on the internet which indicated he died in Richland, LA.  There are four towns with that name in St. Mary, Rapides, Iberville and Tensas Parishes.  There is a Richland Parish which county seat is Rayville in northeastern Louisiana.  So I'm not sure exactly where this refers to in Louisiana.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Again I am surprised to know he was a bigamist!  What was his occupation?  Did he also own land in Texas?  Is there any mention in your records of another will (if you are going to lead a double life guess you'd have two!  (I'm hoping!))  Don't you wonder what he told each wife as he headed off leaving her for the other.  Scandal in small Louisiana and Texas towns!  Since he was Catholic, was their a church record of his marriage to Sarah Hudson?  Or was it just a civil record?  I'm very intrigued.  Looking forward to your additional information!</description>

      <description>Jean Baptiste Courville (son of Pierre Courville and Marie Eugenie West) was born 30 June 1825 on the Opelousas Prarie in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.  He married Louise Taylor who was born in 1827.  Their marriage is recorded Southwest Louisiana Records as being 6 July 1850 in Opelousas, Louisiana.  Jean B. Courville died on 22 Sept 1869 in St. Landry Parish.  There are some records of family trees on ancestry.com that indicate a Sarah Ann Hudson married to Jean B. Courville.  The dates do not match up for Sarah to be Jean's wife.  Maybe this would help.</description>

      <description>The Hudson Bay company from Cananda sent the for Courville brothers to the Yakima Res. to start a Trading Post.  2 of the brothers were, Alexander and Herbert B.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All the brothers inter- married with the Yakima.  Eventually the Hudson Bay Company sent them down to the Umpqua Indian Res in Oregon to do the same thing.  The genererations continue to intermarry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our Heckathorn family line is considered Umpqua/Yakima.&lt;br&gt;</description>

Confusing!&lt;br&gt;Jeans dates are 1825 - 1869 &lt;br&gt;Sarah's are 1836 - 1877&lt;br&gt;Any help would be appreciated</description>

      <description>My great grandmother, Louisa, (Lou), Courville b. 19 Jul 1858, TX , d.23 Oct 1917, TX - married LeRoy Morrison in Texas and they resided in Polk County Texas.  &lt;br&gt;Her father was Jean B. Courville b.1825, d.1869 Polk Co. TX&lt;br&gt;Her mother was Sarah Ann Hudson b.1836,Nashville, TN d 1877, Leggett, TX.&lt;br&gt;In my records, I have parents of Jean as being Pierre Courville and Eugenia Marie West.  &lt;br&gt;Do you think we have a connection here?  Any Texas Courvilles in your family?&lt;br&gt;Looking forward to hearing from you.</description>

      <description>Thanks you so much for your reply!&lt;br&gt;I know my Jean B. Courville was born in Louisiana but don't know where.  I had thought perhaps he had been married previously in Louisiana before he came to Texas. &lt;br&gt;He married Sarah Hudson in Texas and then they lived and raised a family in Polk County, Texas.  My great grandmother was one of their children - Louisa, (Lou), Courville who married LeRoy Morrison.  I have the family bible of Louisa and LeRoy but it doesn't help me with her father's family history. &lt;br&gt;I have found an alternate spelling of her name occassionally in different records.  I think that is because of the soft pronunciation of the "r" in Courville.  The other spelling referred to is Colville. Her son, Wade Hudson Morrison spelled it Courville.  When purchasing her grave marker, one of her grandaughters had her name spelled "Louise Colville" on it.  I have never seen any evidence of her ever being called Louise but rather "Lou" -alot.  &lt;br&gt;Back then it seemed like everyone was named after relatives so I'm sure there is a connection between your J.B. and mine.  &lt;br&gt;Thank you again - every little bit helps! </description>

      <description>Hi, I am looking for some of my grandmother's family. She was a Courville, and she married Arthur Dubois in 1910. Her father was Joseph Courville. He married Marguerite St. Jule in 1888. He was the son of Joseph Courville and Marguerite Denis. I don't have a marriage date for them. I know the line is from Jean-Baptiste Courville dit De Billy and Marguerite Jean dit Vien, but the spaces in between I haven't been able to fill. If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. In return if I can help you that would be great also. I know my grandmother's sister, Armonoza, married a man whose last name was Tisdale, and had three sons by him. As far as I know she lived her adult life in the U.S.. I think she remarried after he died. I know she was alive in 1973, when my grandmother died. She was at the funeral. I had never seen her before. I nearly fainted at the sight. She resembled my grandmother like a twin would.Please write me at my e-mail address: &lt;a href="mailto://nicoleyd@telus.net"&gt;nicoleyd@telus.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you&lt;br&gt;Nicole Dubois</description>
