Making Headway on the Chouinard and Lague Family Lines

Well, it has been a little over a month since I my post to this blog and what a busy month it has been. Since my last post I have added in excess of 200 more ancestors to the family tree. While that is a large number by itself, now think about each person the events of that person's life. For example, people are born, baptized, work, marry, die and are buried. I have made every effort to identify these events and others for each person when that information is available and supported by evidence.

I have spent the majority of my time working on the Chouinard family line and also the Lague family line. While I still continue to locate church records for the Chouinard line, I can take it back to Gatien Chouinard who is believed to have been born in 1590 in Nouzilly, France. The Lague line is just as extensive as the Chouinard line, but I still have lots of records to retrieve from the church records that are available online. it will likely take me another month to finish this line. At that time I hope to proceed with the Mageau line.

Today, was a great day for me. The Vermont State Archived emailed me the index record for Joseph P. Lemay's marriage for Marie Alphosine Moquin. I have been hunting fo this one record for several months now.

This Lemay ancestor would be the my mother's and her siblings great grandfather on their mother's side.


If anyone is actually reading this, I am in need of pictures for any relatives or deceased ancestors that you  might have. I do not need/want originals, but I would like digital pictures to that I can add them to my family tree software. If you can help with that or by providing copies of original documents, please email me at modoc31@gmail.com

Until next time,
