This is a first time for me,,, so please be patient.. I am trying to find out information on my family on my fathers side.. My grandfather who I nver got to know,, was Jean-Bapiste Laforce of Legal Alberta. I do not know much about my ancestors, as my grandfather passed away when my dad was age 6 somewhere around here... I have been told that I have numerous relatives out west, that I would like to find..

Suzanne,

   We need more infos to help.  What's the name of his wife, your grandmother ?  In what year did Jean-Baptiste passed away ?  Names of your father's brothers and sisters can also help.

Hello again,

Well my grandfather Jean_Baptiste Laforce was born 1883 and passed away 1930.  He left behind my grandmother Anatole Tremblay and siblings.. Robert Laforce, Yvon Laforce, Claire Laforce, Carmella Laforce and Yvonne Laforce. The family moved back to Quebec,, (St. Aubert) where my grandmother passed away.. ( I have no more info on this).. the children were placed in orphanages.. from what I understood. My dad (Robert Laforce) had an Uncle Ernest Laforce, who passed away at the age of 99... He was married to a marie tremblay... MAybe the two woman Anatole and MArie were sisters? so many questions, unanswered... I believe I have family out west,, that I would like to find.  Hope this helps you in some way... tks for taking the time to help me out..

Yours truly

Suzanne Laforce

Suzanne,
Jean-Baptiste Laforce, son of Joseph-Louis and Eleonore Girard residents of parish St-Emile-de-Legal, diocese of Edmonton, Alberta,  married Anatole Tremblay, daughter of Amable and Eleonore Chouinard of St-Aubert, L'islet Co., Québec, on July 11th, 1921 at St-Aubert.

Ernest Laforce, Jean-Baptiste's brother, resident of parish Notre-Dame of Ottawa, married Marie-Louise Tremblay, Anatole's sister, of St-Aubert on September 3rd, 1912 at St-Aubert.  Ernest parents were living at Causapscal, Québec, at this time.

Still searching.

Yves Daoust. 

Joseph and Eleonore were living in Ste-Monique, Nicolet Co. in 1891.

Suzanne,
On this site, on top left of this screen, click on Search.
Then enter  Laforce  Joseph.  From the list, choose the one who married Eleonore.
From there, you'll get your entire lineage on the Laforce branch.

Thank you so much,

I am trying to understand this,,, but am getting there. So much to find out, thanks again,,

So I my hunch was right when I saw that Anatole and Marie Louise, were sisters... had to be the same last name for sure.. I know that there was family there in St. Aubert, but distant cousins... Remember going there when i was around 10 years old.....My dad was not too family oriented kept a lot to himself. Maybe someday I will get; to meet distant relatives....

 

merci.. thanks again

Suzanne,
In wich area are you living ?

If you found Joseph and Eleonore on this site, take a look at their children.
Your grandfather was already there.  You'll see some events at Legal, Alberta.

Suzanne,
Since you can see "Legal, Alberta", this is the info.  A member of this site got the info from a reliable source and put it here on the site.  This is a genealogical site and we collect infos about birth, marriage and deaths and some family history.

A member can be a relative of the person on the file or not.  By reading the Napoleon's file, you can see that his burial, and his wife's burial, took place in Legal.  You can also see the children of Napoleon and Julie, and most of them lived in Legal. 

Take a look at his daughter, Alexina.  You can browse this branch and find out names of grand children that are probably still lliving in Alberta.  This will give you last names of possibles relatives.
