Classification: Query
Surnames: Vaillancourt, Smart
Greetings all:
I'm helping a friend research his family tree.
1910 Census:
Healey Asylum, Lewiston, Ward 4, Androscoggin, Maine.
Was the Healey Asylum an orphanage? It appeared all the inmates were children.
Lucian Vaillancourt, age 11, abt. 1899, Male, Maine,
Rosario Vaillancourt, age 9, abt. 1901, male, Maine.
Alabert Vaillancourt, age 5, abt. 1905, male, Maine.
Their surname may have been changed to Smart. This was sugested to me by a lady from Van Buren, Maine. That's how I found the children listed aboue. I could find no census information on Lucien Smart born about 1899.
Being from Van Buren Maine, I must tell you that the surname Smart is not a common name for anyone in the St John Valley. I suggest that it was anglicized and, if I were you, I would start searching for the Acadian French name of Vaillancourt and given name of Lucien. If your Lucian Smart was born in Van Buren, chances are his birth name was Lucien Vaillancourt
Could any of you Vaillancourt researchers help me find these three childrens parent's or any information on where to search next.
Thanks
