Re: Arnable Lequia/Liquia

shoushione — 2010-12-26 13:39:14Z

You're very welcome. I like to share and receive information about our mysterious family! No I didn't know she was rumored to be Native American, although I have always heard we have Native American blood in our family. It is really hard to locate people from the Indian registries because you have to know their tribe and mother's name. I don't have any of that information. I do know there were a couple of Chippewa campsites in the area of Canada that Ceviere lived, but have not done any true research in that direction. Hopefully your uncle will have some additional information that will be helpful. I would love to find out what he has to say if you don't mind sharing.
I look forward to hearing from you again soon. My Christmas was very nice, I hope yours was too.

Re: Arnable Lequia/Liquia

corychamps1 — 2010-12-26 04:35:07Z

Wow thank you for this information! The only thing i really remember about my great grandmother was that she was rumored to be Native American, either from Canada or from U.S. I dont know if you know anymore about that. I have emailed some of my uncle and i should have some more information by the 29th of this month. So until then i will keep you posted!
thanks again!
and hope you had a nice Christmas.

Re: Arnable Lequia/Liquia

shoushione — 2010-12-25 19:53:03Z

I believe I was the one that originally posted that Severe was married to Susan Beaudreau, now I thing it may have been Alphonsine Boulerice. I also think that unless he was married more than once, Alphonsine changed her name to Susan when they came to America. Though I have no proof of this and have taken a small break from my searches, so I have not uncovered any new information in the last year or so.

Yes, Ceveire and Severe are the same person. Well, you may know the Lequia/Lecuyer family moved to the Marquette/Negaunee area from Canada near Quebec. I have been trying to find his parents. I have found him in several census reports in the Negaunee area.

I believe his father's name was Francois and his mother's name may have been Julie. I have a record of 8 children, but have no sure way to conform that. Any information you might have would also be greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas to you, as well.

Re: Arnable Lequia/Liquia

corychamps1 — 2010-12-24 23:14:43Z

That sounds about right, i found something saying that Severe was married to someone named Susan Beaudreau i'm guessing it is the same susan. Do you have any more information on Severe? Are Ceviere and Severe not the same person?
thanks for any information you may have!
merry christmas!

Re: Arnable Lequia/Liquia

shoushione — 2010-12-24 14:39:01Z

I have been trying to trace Ceviere's family tree for several years and am having a difficult time. I have found him in the census records married to someone named Susan or Rose. I think they are the same person, but can't be 100% sure. I did find a marriage record in Canada stating that Severe Lecuyer married Susan Boulerice. The family lived in the Negaunee area for quite a while. They also lived in Marquette. I don't have any record of him being married to anyone named Mary. He did apparently have a daughter named Mary, but I found her married to John Herman. In fact I have communicated with one of her decendents who confirmed that information.

If you have any different or additional information that can help with this search I too would be grateful for the help.

Re: Arnable Lequia/Liquia

corychamps1 — 2010-12-21 20:08:41Z

Did anyone recieve the family history back to 1600? i could really use it right now. My great grandmother was Mary Liquia around Negaunee, MI. I'm pretty sure she was married to Ceviere. Great thanks if anyone can help me out!

Re: Mary Lequier Starkey Genung

corychamps1 — 2010-12-21 03:51:35Z

Mary Liquia. My great great grandmother was Mary Liquia (Lecuyer, Lequier) her mother was Susan Liquia and her father was Xavier (Ceviere/Seviere) Liquia(Lecuyer/Lequier) of Marquette Co. Michigan. This could be a relation to your Mary Lequier...

I have more focused on trying to find more in past than later and the present. It will be easier to fill in any blanks closer to the present. Please, feel free to correct me and fill in any blanks I may have.

I am in Michigan now and miss hanging out with my Uncle Damon and Aunt Virginia! I got to see them a few years ago for dinner when I was passing through TN with my family.

RE; Rebecca Diaz-Martinez adopted name "Lequire" adopted in 1943 TX

lopezj35 — 2009-09-09 05:11:48Z

Trying to help my mother Rebecca Leontina locate birth family. Adopted in TX around 1943-1944 by Porfirio Diaz and Elodia Lopez, birth parents Alfredo and Rebecca Irma LeQuire born in France we believe! She was about 1 1/2 year old when adopted. Has a sister name Cristina and a younger brother. Any-one who might have some information please e-mail me lopezj35@yahoo.com

BOMOON — 2006-11-20 08:40:51Z

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for info on relatives and ancestors of the LEGUIRE (spelled LEQUIER these days) family.

I have a 1910 censur record for Hanock, Houghton County, MI showing the head of household as Vina LEGUIRE, and his/her children as Alma, Joseph (Armi), Hilda, Henry, Irene. Living descendants of Henry have verified that this is their branch of the LEQUIER family.

They also report that the mother of those children was Alvina or Albina LAMPHREY. I strongly suspect that the parents of the family are Fred LIQUIA and Alvina LAMPREY, married 1899 in Champion, Marquette County, MI, but I don't have definite proof yet.

All of this research is complicated by another Fred LEQUIER/Alvina LAMPHREY marriage a generation later, in the same area! There's apparently no immediate connection between the two families, though - they're definitely not the same.

Anyone out there run across this family under the name LEGUIRE, LEQUIER, LEQUIRE, L'ECUYER, etc, etc?

Thanks to all for taking the time to read this,
Ron Niquette

Re: Rose-Alma or Alma-Rose LeQuire (L'eCuyer)

BOMOON — 2006-11-20 08:34:22Z

Hi,
I should have added that the family name used by Henry's daughters is LEQUIER. They verified that the LEGUIRE family I found in the 1910 census is theirs. I'm sure you already know how the spellings of this name seem to change on a record-by-record basis!

PS: I'm also looking at L'Ecuyer, too. I think that's probably the original spelling for this name.

Take care,
Ron Niquette
