My great grandfather was Charles Janack (1870-1942) and he was married to Georgianna Charron (1875-1952). I am wondering if he is the same Charles you all reference. I am having trouble tracing back farther than him and Georgianna. I have Charles' parents as John and Elizabeth but that's as far as I got. Any help is appreciated!

This post is pretty old and you might already have found out what you're looking for. Elmer married Christine Grondin d/o Joseph Grondin & Mary Barron. I have quite a few Gignac's in my tree and especially Clement since he married Christine Odette since she's a first cousin 3 times removed. My grandma was an Odette. Can always write me direct at dalerenaud@wowway.com

Re: Gignard,Gignac Connection?

karigignac — 2010-01-21 20:56:05Z

Laurent's original name was Laurent dit Gignac Gignard. He came from the town of Gignac, France. Since the Catholics had no imagination when it came to naming their children, they would throw in a "dit" name, or a "from" name, to clarify. When Laurent traveled to Canada, I'm assuming he (or someone) decided to shorten the name to just Gignac.

this is a mysterious ancestor for me! Well, ok..sort of! I've got the basics of birth, spouse, kids, but I have NOTHING else and can't even go back from him! I know he had an Alfred (son) who married a Therese Droulliard and I have things from there, but mannnn....going back from Oliver is driving me crazy!

Anyone have any info they would be willing to share? Thanks in advance!!!!

I MADE A BREAKTHROUGH!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!

He was married TWICE! First time was in 1909 to a Ruth Vansickel. THEN....he married Nellie P. Kroes. Records I've found show Nellie as PEARL, but I am wondering if that is her middle name or something. ALSO....I've seen her maiden name as Kroc(s), but it *is* Kroes.

I am not aware of kids with Ruth (That I could find...does anyone know of this?), but with Nellie, there was Raymond, Robert, and Norman :)

Hope to help!!!!! That was a HUGE headache for me to dig for!!!! :)

Steven, I have very little on our ancestors - just names and dates. I am sorta at a wall with my great-grandfather - so I I thought I'd research his wife's lineage.

My Granfather was James Richards. Son of Homer Richards and Minnie Gignac. Minnie was daughter of Charles Gignac & Emily Proulx. Charles was a son of John Gignac (I have him listed as Jean - which is the same name I believe) and Clarisse Ayoette.

I am looking for anyone who has any information on a Marvin Gignac or any information on his children. Someone posted on here that they were looking for their Marvin and I did some research and that is my mom's father which would make you her sister. If anyone knows a jen indoe or whoever wrote that if you could reply that would be a blessing.

Marvin Gignac is originally from the windsor, ont area sandwich west. His last location that she is aware of was Toronto, Ont. He should be about 74/75. My mother has not seen her father since she was five. Her grandparents were Adrien and Elizabeth ((Bessie)(nee long)) gignac. They past in 62/63. He had an aunt that I know of named eve swanson, also an aunt rose who my mother was named after. If you need anymore information please contact me or if you have anymore information let me know.

The Green Bay Press Gazette, Green Bay, WI, April 13, 2007

Gerald "Jerry" J. Gignac, 60, Allouez, passed away on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, at a local hospital.

Jerry was born on Aug. 28, 1946, in Menominee, Mich., the son of the late Fred and Rose (Charles) Gignac.

On Feb. 10, 1968, he married the former Carol Juntunen at Saint Ann's Catholic Church in Menominee and the couple just celebrated their 39th anniversary.

In 1982, Jerry and Carol moved to Green Bay where they made their home and watched their children and grandchildren grow. He loved coaching girls softball and had the honor to coach his two daughters. Jerry coached for many years for the Allouez Girls Softball League and was the assistant coach for the Tritons of Notre Dame Academy.

He was an avid sports enthusiast from football to baseball but he especially cherished being able to watch his grandchildren participate. Jerry was an unofficial coach of the Green Bay Packers and was an avid fan. He was an animal lover but was especially partial to his dogs. Jerry was a loving husband, father, grandfather and a friend to many who will be lovingly remembered and sorrowfully missed.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife Carol, Allouez; two daughters and sons-in-law, Joanne and Mark Rehberg, Green Bay; Brenda and Michael Rehberg, Green Bay; five grandchildren, Riley, Allison, Spencer, Andrew and Lacey; one brother and sister-in-law Roger and Joan Gignac, Milwaukee. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by two brothers, Don and Harvey.

Gathering of family and friends will be held on Saturday, April 14, 2007, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. (noon) at Saint Matthew Catholic Church 130 St. Matthew St. Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated at 12 p.m. at the church with Rev. John Van Deuren officiating.

The family would like to offer a warm note of appreciation to the staffs and residents of Manor Care East Nursing Home for all of their friendship and support. Also, a special thank you to Dr. Aleksander V. Rosic for all of his care and compassion.

Hello Ray,

Could you post more information about this family. Do you know the names of any of these people's siblings? It sounds as if these people are your parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Are they still living? If they are, it's not a good idea to post any personal information about them. If you are interested, I have an Oral History questionaire that I can send you so that you can ask them important questions that could be valuable for finding out information. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send it to you...

By the way, I also am connected to the Gignac family in Pennetanguishine! My maiden name was Gignac...

S'ils sont, ce n'est pas une bonne idée de ne signaler aucune information personnelle sur eux. Si vous êtes intéressé, j'ai un questionaire oral d'histoire que je peux vous envoyer de sorte que vous puissiez leur poser les questions importantes qui pourraient être valeur pour trouver hors de l'information. Faites-moi savoir si vous êtes intéressé et je vous l'enverrai...

DIED FROM EFFECTS OF EATING MUSHROOMS
PLACERVILLE (El Dorado Co.), June 1 - Augustus Anndy GIGNAC died yesterday in the city from the effects of eating mushrooms.
On the 3d of May, Gignac, James BLAKELEY and George FORD partook of a mess of mushrooms. That night Ford and Gignac were taken violently sick. After several days of severe illness, Ford recovered. But Gignac was not so fortunate. He apparently would improve, and then have a relapse. This
occurred a number of times, until yesterday, when he sank for the last time and passed away.
Gignac was a well-known character in this city, and in the county. He was a native of Ohio, aged 57 years., and leaves a son and daughter surviving him.

Emery (Emile) Gignac & Justina Lafrance

2005-02-05 00:28:06Z

I am searching for descendants of Emery (Emile) Gignac and Justina Lafrance. Emery and Justina were married 07 Jan 1903 in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario.

His parents were Louis Gignac and Olymphe Rainville. He is listed as 17 yrs. old in the 1901 Census making his birth year about 1883/1884.

Her parents were Onesime Lafrance and Sophie Godard dit Lapointe. She was born 25 Sep 1883 in St. Albert, Ontario. Her family moved to Sturgeon Falls around 1891.

Their children were :
Aurele Francois Gignac m. Georgianna Jeanne D'Arc Audebec
Alma Anna Gignac b. 08 Apr 1907, Sturgeon Falls m. Leo Dennis Lucier (Lussier)
Roger Omer Gignac b. 10 Dec 1919, Sturgeon Falls, m. Martha Caroline Ross
Blanche Jacqueline Gignac b. 07 Nov 1922, Sturgeon Falls m. Desi Podrasky

I think that this family, or some of them, moved to the Windsor, Ontario area at some time.

My g-grandfather, Francois Lafrance was Justina's oldest brother. I am searching for Justina's descendants to help me with my family tree.

In my family has descended an old photo album. I am looking for cousins who may be able to help me identify people in these photos. They have been scanned and can be seen at http://www3.sympatico.ca/smaw/ . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am also searching for any photos of Emery and Justina & family, if they are out there.

Re: "Gignac" family

2004-09-05 01:37:44Z

It may be /probably is unlikely that your grandfather named Aurelian Gignac is the same Aurelian (Joseph) Gignac as my grandfather. He was born in Haverhill, MA in 1899. He was married to my grandmother Fabiola Giroux in 1923. They had 5 sons; one was my father. However Fabiola died in 1954, and Aurelian lived until 1975. No one in the family has said anything about those intervening years. What other information do you have about Aurelian Gignac, etc?
