Warning ⚠️
This might be a little compliqué mes amis.
I take genealogy very seriously you know…
He does…well most of the time.
That famous detective is my alter ego.
Any genealogist who tells you he or she is 100% sure of his or her research on your ancestors is 100% wrong.
We are never 100% sure. I always find errors I have made when I search for your ancestors and mine for that matter.
This being said, I have always considered myself as an amateur genealogist and I have never accepted money from anyone for what I have been doing since 2007…
I am just helping people reunited with their dearly departed and sharing my research on WordPress with a free account. That’s the reason you will see unrelated ads popping out.
I have no control on them unless I go with a free ads blog which would cost me $99 US per year.
Please no Go Fund Me…
A few years ago, I got a 23andMe DNA test as a gift from my third cousin Alyce. I couldn’t tell her not to do it because the package was already in the mail.
Sweet Alyce wanted to thank me for bringing her ancestors back to life.
Everything I found about her ancestors is on Our Ancestors which has more than 1600 posts.
This is a lot of posts mes amis…but not only on Alyce’s ancestors.
Meet Idala LaGasse, his son David LaGasse and his cousin Léo Lagacé Senior…
There are thousands and thousands of images on Our Ancestors, mostly old pictures like my 2nd great-grandparents Honoré Sauvé and Julie Leroux who without knowing it jumped started my addiction to genealogy.
My famous 2nd great-great grandparents since 2007
So I spat in the petite tube reading the instructions very carefully and sent it to 23andMoi.
When the results came back…
Lo and behold Alyce and I had no common cM (centiMorgans). How could that be!!!
C’est une longue histoire mes amis…
That’s a long story…, But I digress.
Julie Leroux, I first thought, was the link with my new 4th cousin once removed Agnes Clara Lalonde seen here on a 1920 census page.
Agnes is said to be 17 at her last birthday. We all know she was born on November 12, 1902, in Altona County, Michigan. She would turn 18 later.
In 1920 this Lalonde family was living in Rogers Townships, in Presque Isle County, Michigan.
This is the Salonde (sic) family as transcribed…
John (Jean-Baptiste) Lalonde is a salesman in a grocery store. His wife Clara (Precor) is a saleswoman, whom I imagine is working in the same grocery store. Agnes is a servant. Her older brother Arthur is a laborer like Benjamin. Catherina, Hector and Rose are at school except the youngest ones: Victor, Marie, Alice and Woodrow.
Getting back to how I am related to Agnes Clara Lalonde…
Agnes Clara Lalonde and I have these two common ancestors, Guillaume Lalonde and Marie Madeleine Hélène who was in fact Sarah Allen captured in 1704 in Deerfield, Massachusetts.
Deerfield, Massachusetts?
Which brings along this question my 5th cousin once removed asked.
I also have another question that comes from Grandma Agnes Lalonde…
My mother has always told me that Grandma Agnes Lalonde was part American Indian…
Do you have any knowledge of this?
