Hey......

In connection to my previous post regarding Noel and Ellen.... this is a post exclusive to Noel. I am trying to find out what happened to Noel - how and where he died. I've search alot and have come up empty handed.

The family story is that he died at sea. He was a "ship captain". That's all I have to go on. I have pulled enough information together between census records and birth records that his daughter Mary (Marie Euphremie) was left with is brother Joseph Vaillancourt. Mary died in 1913 a few months after giving birth to my Grandmother and very little was shared about Mary, let alone her father, Noel.

I'd be happy to share in greater detail than this post allows... but I am hoping that someone who is researching the Vaillancourts from St. Antoine Abbe may hold the answer to his true demise inclusive of general time frame. All I have to go on is that he died between the birth of Mary, 16 September 1888 and the 1901 census of Canada which shows Mary living with her uncle Joseph and aunt Addie.

Noel and Josephs parents were Moise Vaillancourt and Euphemie Lussier, married 7 January 1887 in St. Antoine Abbe.

I am tracing the paternal lineage of Noel Vaillancourt so I have lots to share in hopes that I can make a connection about Noel.

Cheers folks & Happy Researching...
