Hi Camille,

What a wonderful offer. In going through my grandmother's things, while visiting my parents over Thanksgiving, I came across a couple of pictures of Ac (Acquaviva). It brought back some fond memories of Ac and Jack Cregg along with John and Maureen.

From 1944 until 1958, when we lived in Chicago, we used to go back to Watertown, NY and Smith Falls for two weeks each year for vacation. We always visited Art and Marie, Martina and Stan. Unfortunately, we moved to the west coast in 1958 and fell out of touch.

Thanks again,

Kathy

Kathy,

Wow you lived in Chicago! That's where my husband and I now live. Although we do plan on returning soon to the Detroit area, I have been here for 6 years and he is a native Illinoisian.

Do you have copies of the photos available that you speak of of Ac? I would love to see any Sylvain/Sylvah photos if you have them internet-ready.

Also, do you know the story of how so many Sylvain relatives ended up in upstate NY? I'm very curious to learn as I've noticed an overwhelming amount are in the Rome area.

Here is the info you were asking me about their Children (Thomas Sylvah):

1st child was Mary Julia Sylvah b Sept 10 1905 Wesport CA d 1979

2nd Aquaviva Beatrice Sylvah b Aug 27 1907 Wesport (on a boat coming back from maternal grandmotehrs up the Rideau Lakes)
(Is this true to your knowledge?)

3rd Claude Michael Sylvah b July 21 1911 Smith Falls d May 9 1944 overseas in WW II, 28 missions RCAF Squad 405
MORE
buried in Belgium
engaged to wed 1942 & owned 2 restaurants
before going off to war
broke engagement and sold restaurants in
order to enlist

Hope that is helpful to you.

I have just received the marriage record for my ggrandparents, Arthur SYLVAIN and Margaret STUART married 6 Feb. 1889 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Arthur's birthplace is listed as Quebec, and his parents are listed as George SYLVAIN and Luce FOURNIER. He was age 40 at the time. Margaret's birthplace is Iceland and her parents are John STUART and Margaret (unreadable - possibly SORENSEN). She was 21. They were married at St. Mary's Church by Father Ouelette. He was Catholic, she was Protestant.
His occupation listed was hotel keeper. I would appreciate any information anyone else has to offer. Thanks.

Hi Pat, Theophile Sylvain was my great grandfather (from 2nd marriage to Marie Cameron). Harvey was my grandfather. Have you found any more details about Theophile's ancestry? I'm beginning to search too. My mother gave me some details about the Theophile/Emery line so your husband's grandfather has to be Joseph, Gaspard or Ernest. I don't have any more details about them. Would you be willing to send me details about your husbands branch? I know my mother would be interested to learn about her relatives. Send email to maurice.cartier@bigfoot.com.

Re: Researching Sylvain

2001-10-14 01:26:24Z

My Veau information is only on large paper charts so you
will have to give me specific name or couple plus date and or
place. I have to manually look for each.
I am not related since I am in dit Larosee line rather than
dit Veau which is the true surname.

Please note change in e-mail address.

Giralda Silver (Sylvain) from upstate New York

JBrickey3372 — 2002-03-08 19:11:22Z

I am trying to find any relatives or descendants of Giralda Silver (Sylvain) who was the daughter of Morim 'Buck' Silver (Sylvain) and Laura Foucrault. Morim and Laura were married in 1909 at St. Edmond's Church in Ellenburg Corners, New York. It is believed Laura died before 1920 and that Morim remarried.

Giralda is believed to have married someone by the last name of Green and had at least two children, Lester and Laura. They could have lived in Mississippi as a family.

Any information can be e-mailed to jbsmokey@aol.com.

That's all I know. Have you researched all
possible at Ottawa?

Sylvain

donelfie — 2003-06-18 17:01:57Z

Does your Sylvain line back to 1600's include
Sylvain Veau? I am in dit Larosee line not related.

Veau Larosee

donelfie — 2003-06-18 17:01:57Z

As far as I have gone back sideways I have
not found any connection. Primarily cuz the
original families were not same. Veau
Duplais were original surnames Sylvain was
a "dit" (we say also known as). I believe
that among the Quebec pioneer families
the Larosee line were the only "true" Sylvains. Some have kept the dit name (Larosee) not to be confused with Larose.
The first Quebec Veau, Viau, etc. was
Sylvain Veau. If you have your line to before
1900 I may have a connection for you.
Happy hunting- it's very interesting.

Don Sylvain

Sylvain

donelfie — 2003-06-18 17:01:57Z

Sounds like you are in the Sylvain Veau line.
Correct?

Sylvain Veau

donelfie — 2003-06-18 17:01:57Z

What sources/archives have you used already?
On internet use key words for the several
French or Quebec Genealogy centers. Join one
of the membership associations. Use nearest
Mormon family history center.
I am in dit Larosee line not in Veau line
which is not connected. If you send me direct
line as far back as the gap I'll see if I can
make the link from Veau data I have.

Sylvain

donelfie — 2003-06-18 17:01:57Z

Since you probably are in Veau line, be better to get back before 1900 where my info
on that drops off. MI Detroit have very good archives. Also check French-Canadian genealogy society. That should do it.

Delia Sylvain

mpedini — 2003-01-27 03:07:09Z

While searching for my Fathers family tree, I came across a gravestone in Gonic, New Hampshire with the name Delia Sylvain. The dates on it seem to be around the time you are looking for. I know that my Dads family was from Canada, and that his father Alfred Sylvain was one of a very large family (17 children I think!!) I am searching for info about his family, since he lost touch with his father at the age of 8.
I hope this information helps you.

Re: Researching Sylvain

mpedini — 2003-01-27 03:07:09Z

Don,
I have been trying to research some information on my fathers family. His fathers name was Alfred Sylvain and lived in Gonic, New Hampshire.(He was one of 17 children! ) My Dad is now in his 70's, and I believe his father was born in New Hampshire in the late 1800's or early 1900's. His father left when he was 8 years old and never knew what became of him. Not too long ago, I visited a graveyard in Gonic and found several gravestones with the Sylvain name, other names on the stones included Gagne, and Routhier. I believe that his relatives were in the fur trade in Canada.
I hope this information is of help.
