Hello, Wishing everybody good health. Hoping you can clear up two bits of info that conflict.
What I do know comes gathered a decade ago from persons on the old QR-List/other Rootsweb lists. 1832 Dennis Rainville b. 9 Sep 1832, Berthierville, (autrefois Berthier-en-Haut), Qc, CANADA Dionysus on his birth certificate. Dieudonné on some documents. First marriage to Cesarie DEMERS no date of birth. Could you provide, please. Césarie marries Dieudonné Oct. 19, 1859 My notes say somebody told me this is confirmed in Loiselle and Drouin. Children 1860 child b. Delia Rainville Amans (1860 - 1932) 1869 child b. (George) no date of birth. Could you provide if you can, please. Césarie dies. no date or cause of death. Could you provide, please. Dennis remarries. no date of marriage but extrapolating from US census this marriage occurred before they emigrated circa 1869-1870. Could you provide, please. Desanges DEMERS b. Jan 17, 1838 Info provided to me : From death record Volume #1, #94 Barron County, Rice Lake (see below) Children Héloise (sic) b. 1872 followed by Gideon 1874, Georgina 1875 and Ernestine 1879. (appear on 1880 census). Heloise is Eloi (aka Louis) Renville. b. Feb 1871, Rice Lake, Baron, Wisconsin, USA The problem : What is the relationship between Césarie and Desange "Dezerre" "Bessar" DEMERS ? One source swore up and down that they were sisters. Asked me to NOT publish this info. Later I found that there is a possibility they might be cousins. That a Frederick is buried nearby to Desanges. The person said she was not sure if that was a son of Desanges. Another tidbit says she was a granddaughter of Marg Dauplaise and daughter of a Frederick. I have this : Jean Fredrick DEMERS m. Marie Therese Lambert. A Magloire DEMERS fils m. 1835 Marguerite Dauplaise. I received a few generations back concerning this Magloire. Thinking the women were sisters, I have them being children of Magloire DEMERS and Marguerite Dauplaise. But were Frederick and Magloire brothers ? Could you confirm this, please. I am leaning toward this info : Death record for Desange "Dezerre" "Bessar" Demers Rainville. Volume #1, #94 Barron County, Rice Lake Mrs Bessar Renville Female, white Born Jan 17, 1838, Quebec Canada, Age 70 Married Father Fredick Demars born in Canada Mother Mrs Demars born in Canada Housewife Informant Louis Renville Date of Death Jan 26 1908 Buried Rice Lake Jan 29, 1908 Thanking you kindly, Richard in MTL.
