French-Canadian Immigrants to Illinois

woohoo — 11 Dec 2003 12:10:56 GMT

I need help on where/how to research early French-Canadian immigrants to Illinois. Our relatives emigrated between 1815 and 1839, where we have a marriage record for our ancestors in Greene County. They later settled in Calhoun county.

Our family surname is Wood, but I wonder if that was in fact anglicized. Census records show they were born in "Lower Canada" with a native tongue of French.

Luke WOOD b. 1815 married Emily Tart b. 1815 in 1839 in Greene County, IL.

Franco-Americans in the Civil War

D.-C. Bélanger — 7 Sep 2001 12:36:42 GMT

I am pleased to announce the publication of a booklet dedicated both to the American immigrant experience and to the history of Canadian-American relations:

Bélanger, Damien-Claude. FRANCO-AMERICANS IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA (1861-1865). Montreal, Études sur l’histoire des relations canado-américaines/Studies in the History of Canadian-American Relations, 2001. ix-45 pages.

For the American scholar, no period of history is more fascinating, challenging and controversial than that of the Civil War. Nevertheless, few historians have studied the Franco-American participation in the war, which has remained shrouded in myths. This booklet examines this little known aspect of the conflict along with the growth of the Franco-American communities in the Northeast and Midwest during the Civil War era. Throughout the study, the Canadian dimension of the conflict is explored to provide the reader with an overall sense of its continental impact. (From the introduction)

FRANCO-AMERICANS IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA is the first booklet in an occasional and bilingual series called “Études sur l’histoire des relations canado-américaines/Studies in the History of Canadian-American Relations” that explores various aspects of the historical relationship between Canada and the United States. The series’ goal is to provide the reader with a more continental interpretation of Canadian and American history. (From the preface)

Montreal Records/Senet family

barbara15 — 18 May 2002 3:55:59 GMT

I recently found my husband's family (Snay, an Anglicized version of Senet) to be descended from Nicholas Senet dit Laliberte who arrived in Montreal around 1670-1680. He was a corporal in the French Army who became a Royal Notary. From Denissen (a genealogy of French families in the Detroit area), I have found the names of his direct descendants down to my husband's great grandfather. The family lived in or near Montreal (Point-Aux Trembles, Longue Pointe, Chambly) until the late 1700's when they moved to Detroit, then to Mt. Clemens, MI where my husband was born. I would like to find out more about his ancestors besides the vital statistics. Does anyone know of resources available where you could find their occupations or any other information? We live in Kentucky, but would like to take a trip to Montreal to see his ancestors birthplace and do some research. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Gordon Ernest Mackay — 10 Jun 2000 2:14:12 GMT

I am trying to find out what the names of the parents of Henry Sagal, who lived in Home district, King Township, Ontario, Canada, in 1808 until his death. They may have come from Quebec, but there are no further leads available to me as to where in Quebec they may have come from. I am also interested in the identities of the siblings of Henry Sagal by his parents, as well as their birth and death dates.

FRENCH PORT MOST LIKELY USED BY CITIZENS OF BREST OR TROYES TO COME TO U.S. 1800-1820

HZebley — 24 Jun 2001 4:02:57 GMT

Trying to identify port most likely used by persons leaving Brest or Troyes France to come to NY between 1800-1820. Have located g-g-g-Grandfather BAZILLE GUYOT in one of Filby's books, but it doesn't show a ship's name. Rather it shows him as an alien legally allowed to buy U.S. real estate in 1823, also that he was naturalized as U.S. citizen in 1826. Naturalization paper only shows he came from Troyes met the residency requirements for citizenship. Witness's name doesn't seem to be that of a relative.
Bazille's wife MARY FRANCE LA RUE (LE ROUX) left Brest ca 1810 for NY. Haven't a clue who brought her here if she was 10 yrs old at the time.
Any suggestions where to look next, please??

La Rose Family

Sharon Gray — 10 Jan 2000 4:44:53 GMT

Does anyone have any information of the La Rose family who came to Quebec from France. My G-grandfather was Peter La Rose who eventually settled in the Kincardine area of Bruce County, Ontario. Rumour has it that his father arrived in Quebec with his widowed mother and 11 siblings after his father was killed in a mining accident near Paris France. The french government gave them passage to Canada rather than look after their welfare in France. His father was also supposed to be Peter La Rose (Pierre?). Any info would be appreciated.
