Leonidas Vigeant, St-Mathias/Montreal
The recent passing of Marie Blanche (Gosselin) Vigeant and one of our relatives, Jean Vigeant, has made following this part of the family tree increasingly challenging. Nonetheless, I'm surprised by how many coincidences take place over time. My mother, Rita Juliette Vigeant St-Onge, currently lives in Otterburn Park, near St-Mathias. My grandmother, Marie Blanche, married Alcidas Vigeant, who grew up in St-Mathias. His father's name was Leonidas Vigeant, and his mother was Lea Lamarre -- a second wife. Alcidas had at least three cousins: Eugene, Arthur and Roger. Many of them travelled between Montreal and Vermont. Yet we do not know the name of Leonidas's father. Any illumination would be appreciated.
