Updated April 13, 2003The primary focus of my research right now is my Moreau family lineage. My Father is Leonard Joseph Moreau ( born 6/6/1921 New Bedford Massachusettes He married Catherine O'Donnell 4/18/1949. His Father was Raphael(born 4/8/1882 probably St.John's Canada and died in Pawtucket Rhode Island in 1953. He was married to Georgianna Maillette born 6/16/1887 in Courval P Q Canada and they had 8 children. Leopold Joseph, William Joseph, Oscar Adrian, Edgar Joseph, Henry Joseph, Leonard Joseph(my father) Raymond Joseph and Gertrude. Ralpael's father was John Baptiste Moreau born in 1837 probably in St John's Canada and died in Taunton State Hospital on 3/18/1926 and is buried in Sacred Heart Cemetary #2 in New Bedford Mass, he was granted his American citizenship on 10/5/1868 in Carson City Nevada . He married Susanna Caldwell who was born in St Jean Iberville P Q Canada on 8/12/1847 and died on 12/25/1935 in New Bedford Mass and is also buried in Sacred Heart #2. They had 5 children that we know of, 1. Stanilaus who was left back in Canada and raised by his maternal aunt who adopted him, 2.John Baptiste who was born in St. John's and died on 3/31/1953 in New Bedford and never married, 3. Raphael(my grandfather) He and Georgianna had 8 children, Leopold Joseph born 1909 and died 12/06/1918 during a flue epidemic, William Joseph, Oscar Adrian, EdgarJoseph, Henry Joseph, Leonard Joseph ( my father) Raymond Joseph, and Gertrude. 4.Richard born in St.John's Canada and died on 11/13/1958 and never married, and 5. Julia born someplace in California and she died in New Bedford, she married William Pell and they had 3 children, Louise,William and Eleanor. I want to find out where my grand parents and great grandparents entered this country and why my grandfathers sister was born in California. I grew up hearing my uncles tell oral stories about my grand father. They have told me about their father living in Deadwood South Dakota as a small boy and the black hills of Dakota and Indians that where around that area at the time of the gold rushes out west. Anything you might know about Susanna Caldwell my great grandmother would be appreciated as well.We believe her mother was Emelie Lafaille(Lafaye)and her Father was Thomas born in Orange Ireland .His parents we believe were Thomas Caldwell and Bridget Collins.I am new to Geneaology research and any information you could help me with would be appreciated. | |
