Dear Denis,
Thanks for your quick response to my last inquiry.For the most part I have the similar information from my research.But I have more questions.
(1) Who are the parents of the Joseph Forest born about 1784 who married to Marie St-Jean?I am familiar with a Joseph Forest, son of Jean-Baptiste and Marie-Louise Hebert, born around 1765 in CT who was baptized on August 23, 1767 L'Assomption, PQ and possibly died on December 29, 1840 St-Jacque-de-Montcalm, Achigan, PQ.This Joseph Forest married Marie-Jeanne-Francoise Thierraud (1766-?)widow of Germain Dupuis, and daughter of Honore and Marie-Francoise-Judith Fouquet.This couple were married on October 21, 1793 St-Jacques-de-Montcalm, PQ.They had the following children: Joseph 1794, Jean-Baptiste 1796,Jean-Louis 1796, Alexis 1797,Adeline 1799, Marie-Anne 1800, Isaie 1804, Simon 1805, Joseph-Francois 1807,Pierre-Honore 1808, Honore 1811.At one time I thought my great-great-grandfather Nazaire born 1820-70 was part of this family but due to the advance age of the parents, I no longer believe Nazaire belong to this family.So my question who were the parents of Nazaire Forest born December 11, 1820 St-Paul-de-Joliette, PQ-died on August 3, 1870 Ste-Genevieve-de-Berthier, PQ who married to Marie-Adelaide (Adee) Gamache born on June 1, 1821 Ste-Genevieve-de-Berthier, PQ-died on March 16, 1872 Ste-Genevieve-de-Berthier, PQ daughter of Louis and Marie-Anne Boulay. Nazaire and Marie-Adelaide were married on November 14, 1843 Berthierville, PQ?
2.I do believe that I am a descendent of Joseph Forest born around 1767 -died on June 21, 1832 Ste-Genevieve-de- Berthier, PQ parents (?) who married to Marie St-Jean dite Laperche-Coitou (1776-1846) parents (?).As you mentioned this couple married around 1810 because they had the following children: Sophie 1810c-1851, Charles 1813-65, Elisabeth 1815-70, Joseph 1817-65, and Louis-Nazaire (Norbert) (1820-1870) my great-great-grandfather.Joseph Forest (1767-1832) is found in the registry of Ste-Genevieve-de-Berthier, PQ but the registry is blank regarding the name of his wife at the time of his death. So who are the parents of Joseph Forest and Marie St-Jean dite Laperche-Coitou?
3.Louis-Nazaire (Norbert) Forest (1820-70) and Marie-Adelaide (Adee) Gamache (1821-72) were married in 1843 and they had the following children: Marie-Adee 1844, Clarisse-Adelaide 1845, Joseph-Edmond 1847-50, Georges-Auguste 1849-1929, Marie-Louise 1851c, Marie-Cleophire 1852, Marie-Arthemise 1854-56, Marie-Elisabeth-Julie-Caroline 1858-, Jean-Baptiste 1860, Francois-Xavier 1862c-1946 (my great-grandfather known a Xavier, Marie-Louise-Amanda 1863, and Alfred-Edouard 1865-70).
My great-grandfather Xavier Forest went to live with his older brother Georges-Auguste after their parents death.Xavier Forest married Virginie Jacques born around 1865 and died in 1923 Holyoke, MA.Xavier Forest never remarried and he lived with his son Oliver (Olivier-Xavier) (1900-64) and his wife Alice Rougeau (1901-96).Xavier Forest died in December, 1946 South Hadley, MA.Xavier Forest and Virginie Jacques had a daughter Marie-Louise-Laura (Ora) Forest (1889-1921) who is my grandmother.
Question do you know the birth day of Xavier Forest?All of his siblings were baptized at Ste-Genevieve-de-Berthier, PQ but I am not able to find his date of birth.Might he be Jean-Baptiste who was born in 1860 as noted above?
More questions to ponder.If you can help, it would be appreciated.But I do know that they are some questions regarding my family tree which will not be answered in this life.Again, thanks for you all your help.
Sincerely,
A cousin
