Hello, My dad was Francis Charles Gallien born in 1924. I know his family was close to New Brunswick, in that area you mentioned. Also my mother's parents Dominic Mallett and Lorena Ayeo were born up that way. I bet we are distant cousins? My dads dad was Max Gallien. I'm going to join Ancestry soon, so maybe we will find more answers?

D'après mes recherches Dosithée Gallien s'est marié 2 fois.
Est-ce possible qu'il y ai 2 Elizabeth Gallien..??Une née en 1861 et une autre en 1872-1873.

En tout cas il a déménagé(Dosithée) de Neguac à Miramichi et Gallien peut être vu comme Galliah, Gallioh,Galleu etc. etc.

Remarié en 1872 à Mathilda Farre!??

Hi,
If you can trace your family back to Francois Gallien and his father Joseph Gallien -- both with ties to Opelousas, then yes you fit in! Terri

I'm from the Gallier's from Opelusas and Abbeville LA. My grandparents are Allen J. Gallier and Edith Marie (Frederick) Gallier and daughter of Leona Helen (Gallier) Vancil. ... Wondering if I could fit somewhere in the Gallien clan.

Thanks

Hi!
Welcome to the family!! Why don't you go onto my Gallier family tree and see if any of it makes sense to you. Since it is a private tree, I'll gladly send you an invite! Hope it helps -- Terri

Re: Gallien in Louisiana, USA

PhyllisVancil — 2012-08-19 06:02:10Z

Hi... I'm new to this Ancestry stuff. My grandfather was Allen J. Gallier of LA. He married Edith Frederick of Beaumont. My great great grandfather was C. Francois Gallier (1824/86) of LA. ... Don't know what all this means but I'm thinking we're related somewhere along the line. This is my first day to work on this and I admit I don't have a clue! ... Thanks for reading this and I hope you'll reply.

Thanks! It looks like my 2x great grandparents are where our trees meet up. That's Joseph and Mary Catherine Hayes. I've mostly been working on my maternal grandmother's side and now, with help from your tree, I can actually get somewhere with the Galliers. Thanks again!

Hi,
I will make the tree public again in a few minutes!! It was the Groves side I was trying to keep private. I forgot the two were attached. Sorry. I hope the tree will explain all of the names. I am related through Joseph,Francois Sr's son and Francois Jr's brother. Terri

Re: Gallien in Louisiana, USA

dmfstorz — 2012-06-23 20:20:14Z

Hi
My mom was a Gallier from Beaumont. She was dtr of Jacob John Jr, son of JJ Sr, son of Joseph Sr, son of a Francois, I believe. There I get confused as there are several Francois'... born in varying years of 1819(I believe bro of Joseph), 1795, 1772, 1768, and 1737 (married to Henriette Grossin).

I'm missing most of the female spouses/mothers. Some people have Felicity Bertrand as the mother of Joseph Sr.(who was born in 1814 or 1815), but I believe Joseph's father had a first wife since Felicity and Francois married in 1818.

Perhaps you can help me straighten it all out. I've looked to see if you (terrichelsea) show any hints on your public trees... but it looks like your Gallier/Galliens is private.

I had been working on the assumption that the Gallier/Gallien line descended from Francois Gallier (b. 1737..parents not known) and Henriette Grossin, but I'm beginning to think this might be wrong.

This is all so confusing. I've decided that people should not be allowed to use the same name more than once in a family... lol All of those Josephs, Francois, etc.

I am trying to find out more about the Gallien side of my family. I never knew my grandfather, Dorsey Gallien, Sr., who died when my father was a small child. I am trying to find out who his father was. I believe his first name was Dubose/Deburse Gallien and he married Martha Garsee. They had three children, Mary Madie, Dorsey, and Odum. I believe he may have been married prior to Grandma Martha and had children with the first wife. He was a good bit older than Martha. I have no idea who the first wife was. Any help would be appreciated. I'm stuck!

Hello Vicky,

This is your cousin, M-Carole Gallien. The parents of Marie Clara Mallet were Georges Mallet, 1879-1944 and Athemise Lanteigne. The parents of our grandfather, Alcide Gallien were, Fidele Gallien and Marie Heloise Lanteigne. I have been doing a great deal of research on my mother's paternal side. I have only focused a small portion of my work on my father's side. I do have the above marriage, death certificates and some birth certificates if you would like them. All the best to mon oncle Mario.

Hi, my name is Jennifer Jones. I'm a Gallien from my mom's side of the family. My mom's side changed their last name from Gallien to Garland. My mom still lives in Lake Charles but I haven't attended a family reunion in years. I still have my family reunion shirt from years ago, which helped me with my research. ;o)

Re: Gallien in Louisiana, USA

terrichelsea — 2012-04-06 23:35:50Z

What a beautiful photo you have!!! I am going to have to figure out who Joseph Frank Gallien is and how he fits into my Gallier line. I have been doing this research for YEARS, but will admit that I left the Gallien line research once my branch became the Galliers of Beaumont, TX. Let's see if we can figure this out -- The last official Gallien in my line is Francois (my gggggrandfather!!) born 2 Oct 1772 in Opelousas. His son, Joseph(my ggggrandfather -- who was born a Gallien, but remained one briefly) and Francois moved to TX in the early 1800's where the name mysteriously changes to Gallier. It has remained Gallier ever since in TX.

Francois' father, who was also named Joseph Gallien, was born 15 Feb 1723 in Canada but died in LA. Are you related through THIS Joseph's son -- and Francois' brother -- Joseph -- born in Opelousas 15 Jan 1781??

Did I confuse you enough!!!!?? Gosh knows, I think I have confused myself! Terri

Re: Gallien in Louisiana, USA

ChaundaGallien — 2012-04-05 23:36:41Z

Yes Terri, we are related!!! Joseph "Frank" Gallien was my was my great great grandfather and his people where from Canada by way of France also...

Re: Gallien in Louisiana, USA

terrichelsea — 2012-04-05 11:41:56Z

Hi Chaunda,
I am from the white branch of the Galliens, though my direct branch actually moved to TX and changed their name to Gallier. Are we from the same line!!?? "My" Gallien -- Francois, moved from Opelousas with his son Joseph -- they changed their name for some strange reason. I can trace my family back to Quebec and France. Are we the same family?? Terri

Re: Looking for Galliens from the LA and TX area.

ChaundaGallien — 2012-03-15 08:24:52Z

My grandfather was John Cleveland Gallien...... we live in Lake Charles, Louisiana and have a large amount of family in Opelousas, Louisiana.

Re: Gallien in Louisiana, USA

ChaundaGallien — 2012-03-15 08:14:30Z

That would be my family. My grandfather was John C. Gallien

Re: Gallien in Louisiana,

Yes that is correct, that is my family also.

Re: Galliens in Louisiana, USA

Hi Ginny,
Just started working on the Gallienne tree. I have Matthieu Gallienne born in Torteval,Guernsey in 1805. He married Fanny Gaudion in Jersey in 1844. I then show them in Montmagny, Quebec, Canada in 1871 with children: Jane, Elvina, Louisa, Marguerite, Alice, Andre, Walter, Ida. Would this connect with anything that you have?
Hoping to hear from you.

Mary Jane was a younger sister of Clara Estella (also enumerated as Eugenia) who married into my family. She married Thomas Dewey in Saranac Lake, NY and they had two girls. Stella looked to be the 2nd born of Peter and Marie. I was wondering how Peter who seemed to be in Albany forever met Marie born in Mississippi.

There are some more interesting facts and stories about this little family that I will share if you wish.

I'm also a great-grandchild of Cleveland and Theresa Levergne. My grandfather was Willis Gallien, and my Dad's name is Louis. Willis and his wife, Maylory Guillory, had several children; most are still living. I'm not sure if you guys still check this thread, but I'll be happy to give you their names so you can fill out that part of the family tree.

Keep me posted if you find out any more of our history.

My husband's grandmother was Mary Jane Gallien Smith. Her father was Peter Gallien, wife Marie Burnap. His father came here from the Isle of Guernsey to Natchez, Mississippi and they migrated to Albany NY. As to when Peter's father died, unsure, but it would have been in Albany. Is ther a first name on the grave marker? Mary Jane was born in 1870. Thanks for the request. Rhoda

I have a Cleveland Gallien in my tree... I also go to the family reunion sometimes. My mother is Deloris Jones (Garland - changed from Gallien). her father was Leon Gallien and his father Gabriel Gallien. Gabriel was the brother of Cleveland Gallien and their father was Frank Gallien. Frank Gallien's Father was Nicolas.... I had to pull out my family reunion T-Shirt to make the links. Please let me know if you have more information, since the last posting.

Re: Galliens in Albany Rural Cemetery

TopHat44 — 2010-07-04 00:42:28Z

Sure, be glad to send you a photo. It's pretty poor quality, the original old and faded, but you can make out quite a bit of detail nevertheless. This is not a funeral, but workers making preparations. I believe the men are in the process of setting a stone Gallien monument in place, or maybe they have already done so.

How shall I send this to you? My email address is carolyngloec@bellsouth.net, my name is Carolyn Gloeckner, and I live in the Florida Keys.

My interest is not in the Galliens, no relationship there, but in William Milne who I think is in the photo, and in the date of the photo, which I think might be figured out from the date of the Gallien burial.

Please email your email address and I will email you the picture. I think it's probably at 200 dpi, but it's a big photo, 9 inches wide by 6.5 inches high. I would be grateful for any information you can offer.

Any Galliens with family buried in Albany Rural Cemetery, NY.

I have an old photo (probably turn of the century) of a Gallien burial at Albany Rural Cemetery. My ancestor William Milne worked as a stonecutter -- monument maker -- there. Can you give me a possible date (burial date, that is) for the picture? It has to be before 1903, when William Milne was killed (on the job accident). Thanks for any information.
