Kellie, I know very little about the Bedard family.However, it appears that my grandmother, Mary Bedard Fortier, was your great-grandmother's sister. An old family picture lists Nazaire, "Delvina" and their children: Eva(Martino), Annie (Napoleon Villeneuve), Ruby (Adelore Delisle), Ernest, Celina (who became Sister Claudia), and Neda. I remember as a child visiting Aunt Annie and Uncle Polie in Mt. Morris in the 1950's.My grandmother, Mary, died May 10, 1958.She married John Fortier on April 17, 1900 and they had Florence, Alpha, Leo, Ella, Edna, John, Ernest, Claude, Joe (my father) and a baby who died in infancy.My father was the last of his siblings and passed away June 12, 2004. He told us that your great-great mother and Eva were attractive, stylish ladies "very much ahead of their time".
