Anastasia Joncas was married in 1945 to Julien Porlier in Grande-Rivière, Qc. They had 5 kids. Around 1853, Juien disappeared.
Anastasia was later (1854-55) found in Belledune, N.-B. married to William Doyle. Theay had 4 kids. Her kids with Julien Porlier stayed back in Grande-Rivière until 1861 at least. We do not know anything between 1861 and 1871.

Then The Doyles moved (ca 1883)to the states with 3 kids. One stayed back in Jacquet River, N.-B.

We find one daughter of Anastasia and Juien Porlier, Élizabeth married in 1869 in Dalhousie, N.-B. to Louis-Arcade Leblanc (Jean and Louise-Félixité Cyr. They moved right away to Cascapédia, Qc. until 1880 where they had 6 kids. They moved back to Nash Creek in 1880, where they had at least 3 other kids. Then around 1888, they vanished, prob. migrating to the states.

We find a second daughter of Anastasia and Juien Porlier, Marie-Celina married in 1871 in Dalhousie, N.-B. to John-Baptiste Vien of Lévis, Qc. They moved right away to Lévis where they had at least 9 kids. 3 died very young. After 1884, they vanished, prob. migrating to the states.

In 1919, one Vien daughter, Marie-Emma-Célina went in the states for a short period. She gives for next of kin James Rufus Doyle, her grand-mother's Doyle son of Durham N-B. In 1920, she marries James-Rufus Doyle's son, David-Arthur Doyle in BC, Ca. We are in contact with one of their son in BC who is sending us a photo of Marie-Emma Célina Vien and Marie-Célina Porlier/Poirier.

Would anyone have further informations about the Leblanc and Vien family?
