This Website Documents The Life Stories of MY ANCESTORS

Through sixteen generations, back to the mid 1600's, these stories trace the histories of the French, Austrian, Irish and Prussian families that combined to create my genealogy. They immigrated from Europe and settled, primarily in parts of the Ottawa Valley in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in CANADA. Some inter-married with native North-Americans from the Mi'kmaq Nation. Those first pioneers that came; established new lives and their descendants extended the family names. Future generations eventually moved to other areas of the provinces and some beyond. 

These are their surnames; complete to the fifth generation. Generations six and seven are included here; but incomplete. Individual profiles and surnames for all the generations, including eight to sixteen can be viewed in WikiTree (clickable below).

CREDITS
I have been fortunate to gather support for this research from several family members and some, I only know as the result of an Internet connection.  There are now a few collaborators for the WikiTree site that are verifying and adding data and in some cases contributing new surname branches from their own 'extended' family trees.

Thanks to the following family members for their contributions to these surnames ...

LANCE - John Lance (2nd cousin)
O'KANE / VINCENT - Peggy O'Kane (2nd cousin)
RUTZ - Bonnie Frobel Weant (? cousin) 
SOULIERE - Beverly Souliere (3rd cousin)

Can't forget the In-Laws ...
 
BELANGER / O'KANE - Peggy Belanger (sister-in-law)

Slainte!

  1. Hi there. I found some of your work on Wikitree when I was visiting the page of my great grandfather's genealogy. I have a great deal of your family history regarding your Soulier, Lance, Godin and LaRocque lines. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

    1. Hi Paula ...

      How are we connected?

      I am presently in a location (Yukon, Canada) where it is difficult for me to coordinate and information exchange ... poor internet etc.

      What can we do?
