For some reason when I type the capital M it doesn't show up that way on my post.

Re: More of us

lademars — 2009-08-17 16:47:05Z

Actually I meant to write Demars or DeMars. The second being with a capital M.

Re: More of us

MaryMoeller929 — 2009-08-17 16:40:52Z

demars and demorris are usually from the same source although i find them as separate sometimes ... i believe they originate as the same family. my gr gr grandmother was Susanna Jane Demorris but her marriage license records it as Susanna Demars

I don't know if I am a relative or not but I grew up with the last name Demars. My father who I never knew was Leon Demars or DeMars from Monticello MN. He was married to my mother Yvonne Montpelier from CT. I was born and raised in CT and have never had any contact with my dad since I was and infant. I never had much contact with my mother either, I was raised my my Aunt Blanche (Montpelier)and Uncle Raymond Lamothe.

Re: DeMars Family History

gdemars134 — 2009-01-27 15:46:16Z

Danielle -- my name is Gary DeMars and although it is rather difficult to determine if we are distantly related or not, I can offer some information that can be construed as a famous personage in our history. My side of the DeMars family came down from Quebec, Canada and settled in the Tupper Lake region of upstate NY. My Great Grandfather was Joseph-Janvier Demers b. 1813 d. 1884. He married Marie Sophie Potvin in 1864. She was born in 1848 and died in 1918. They had quite a number of children, one of which was my grandfather: Leon P. Demars. He was elected to the office of the Ways and Means committee of NY as the budgetary secretary. He died suddenly in Albany, NY and was buried in Tupper Lake, NY. In memory of him, the town named a blvd. after him that remains today -- Demars Blvd. Hope this is helpful.

Re: DeMars family of Tupper Lake, NY

gdemars134 — 2009-01-27 14:53:14Z

Just ran across your posted note -- my name is Gary DeMars and my Grandfather was Leon P. Demars -- the Demars Blvd is named after him. My father was Gordon Demars, deceased and buried in Tupper Lake. I don't have much information about any (if they are still alive) relatives.

George De Mars, Auburn, NY Circa 1905 (DEMARS, GIFFORD, LEDIEW)

lesandjon — 2008-07-25 14:45:13Z

I'm trying to find any information about George. He and my GGrandmother Maude Gifford were married (we think) in 1904 in Ridgeway, PA. Can't find proof, but the announcement was printed in the Auburn newspapers in early 1906. My grandmother, Dorothy, was born in December 1905. The only other trace is a notice that the marriage was legally annulled in 1912 as George had a living wife, Mary Lediew (which I'm assuming might be leDoux). Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Solomon Demars, Iowa

dee53140 — 2007-04-24 00:39:37Z

Irwin, I wrote to you in the past.
What I found on Solomon Demars, born in 1855, was that he appeared in several Census Reports. He was married to Nellie on 05 April 1880, In Barron WI, and they had one son Edward Joseph Demars born 12 May 1885 in WI
I found Solomon living with Edward and his family Laura Agnes and two children. Macy E Demars 1916 (Male) and Renee M Demars. 1019(F) born in WI. On the 1920 Census it is stated that Solomon was a widower. So his wife must have died.

Re: Joseph Demars, b. 1845, Quebec>WI>MT-- Biography

2006-10-06 16:44:58Z

A biography/family history of Joseph Demars, pioneer of Havre, MT, is included in "Montana,Its Story and Biography", Vol 3.

Joseph was born, 24 Aug 1847, in Trois Rivieres, Canada, to August and Mary Demars. August died at age 45 and Mary died at age 30. They had five sons and four daughters.

At age 19, Joseph went to Northern Wisconsin to work in the lumber camps, and in 1867-1868 in the Minnesota lumber camps. He returned to Canada for a visit and located to Montana in 1869, where he was in the ox-team freighting business. He worked for the government cutting hay and hauling wood. He opened the first dray in Havre, MT; with Zill Pepin, partnered in the first butchering business for seven years. Since he first located in the area, he was in the cattle business. Before he retired, he gave each of his sons a ranch, and they were partners in the cattle business, owning 4,600 acres. In 1918, they sold all the cattle except for 450 head.

In 1876, Joseph married Mary Ann Sovia, born in Minnesota. Demars children: George, Havre, MT; Laura, Minnesota; Henry, Albert, and Fred, Havre, MT.

I am not related.

Our ancestry is from Flavian Demars entering the U.S. and then goes back to Jehan Dumoys Demers 1535.

Hello all. I'm new to this whole family tree thing and I'm trying to put together mine. I don't have very much information. My father is Ronald John DeMars Jr, and my grandfather was senior.
