Reader Query: Cleland / Boudrias (Argenteuil, Quebec)
Hi there. My family have always told me I am Mohawk/Algonquin. However, when looking at the genealogy book my aunt gave me, I don’t see Mohawk/Alqonquin. I see that both my paternal parents are Miami Nation and I’m looking for documents stating this.
I’m having issues obtaining documents form my great-great grandparents Jean Cleland and Victoria Boudrias (married around 1891). When looking these 2 names, it brings me to this site and I’m very confused. I did not find Jean Cleland on any census site, however, I do see a James Cleland married (with the same DoB and DoD) to an Emma Cleland with my great grandmother Marie Alice Mabel Cleland being their child along with 3 other siblings. Could Victoria and Emma be the same person? Any assistance would be great.

Hello Natalie,
I don’t have any specific information on this line and I most certainly don’t have any insight into First Nations genealogy in what is now the United States.
I don’t see any Jean Cleland marriages. There are 8 John Cleland marriages but none to a Boudrias or to a Victoria.
There are more than a dozen James Cleland marriages but none to a Boudrias or a Victoria. I also tried a search with the French equivalent of James – Jacques. I found none.
I do see the following two births at the BMS2000 archives, including one with the mother identified as Emma Victoria.
James Cleland and Emma Victoria Boudrias
Had a child Felix Thomas Cleland on April 14th, 1893 (baptised July 2nd the same year). Location: Ste-Anastasie parish, Lachute in Argenteuil County, Quebec. Father was a painter. Godparents were Felix Minville and Odile Boudrias.
James Cleland and Victoria Boudrias
Had a child Marie-Alice-Maple Cleland baptised on August 7th, 1910 in St. Andre parish in St.-Andre-Est in Argenteuil, Quebec on August 7th, 1910. Father was a farmer. Godparents were Frederic Jasmin and Rose-Anna Hamel
You mention that you found some in the Canada Census. Did you open up the original record and check the location of birth for James Cleland?
Hope this has been helpful,
Evelyn

Reader Query: Olivine Falardeau (m. Lambert)
Fokkow up to this former query and comments below it.
Query: Olivine Falardeau m. Dieudonne Lambert, 1886, St-Didace (Maskinonge)
My son actually just found this after researching my great grandmother Olivine. My grandmother was one of her daughters, Marion. They lived in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. Her husband was Ralph Baldwin. They had 2 children, Dorothy and Irving. Irving was my father. I currently live in Wisconsin. Would love any information you have on our great grandmother!

Information
Marriage records
I had found this one marriage which has the correct names but is in a different region (Joliette rather than Maskinonge).
Narcisse Falardeau (son of Louis Falardeau and Honore Brunelle) married Hermine Latour Laforge (daughter of Basile Latour Laforge and Marie Godin) on January 25th, 1853 in St. Thomas parish in St-Thomas in Joliette, Quebec.
I see no marriage in BMS2000 for a Louis Falardeau and Honore Brunelle however I did find this couple.
Louis Falardeau (son of Joseph Falardeau and Charlotte Rainville / Rinville) and Eleonore Brunet / Brune (daughter of Joseph Marie Brunet / Brune and Marie Henault) were married in St. Genevieve parish in Ste-Genevieve-de-Berthier, Berthier, Quebec on February 7th, 1814.
Louis Falardeau and Eleonore Brunet / Brune did have a child named this couple did have a child named Narcisse Falardeau (m. Hermine Laforge) according to a (random treat with caution) family tree that I saw online.
Birth
The only Olivine Falardeau birth that I see in the BMS2000 database is –
Marie Olivine Falardeau born on April 1st, 1867 (baptism April 2nd) in St. Didace (Maskinonge), Quebec to Narcisse Falardeau and Hermine Laforge). Godparents: Jerome Mailhot and Olive Marseille (which I guess explains Olivine’s name).
I hope the addition of this name variations will lead you to more information.
Good hunting!

Reader Query: Pinet – Michaud/Caron/Landry/Lemieux/Lebel/Bigaouette/
Hello, I would love additional information about the Pinet family. My grandparents were Blondin and Simone, and they lived in Saint-Juste-du-Lac, Quebec on a farm before moving to the United States where I was born. I would love to know anything I can about their ancestors. Thank you!

Hello,
This would appear to be your grandparents’ primary line according to information that I see at BMS2000. This is a cursory search following the trail of names – you would need to take a closer look at all the couples 🙂
Blondin Pinet (son of Prudent Pinet and Lumena Caron) married Simonne Michaud (daughter of Emile Michaud and Odelie Marquis) on October 15th, 1941 in St. Juste parish in St-Juste-du-Lac in Temiscouata County, Quebec.
Prudent Pinet (son of Pascal Pinet and Marguerite Landry) married Lumina Caron (daughter of Arthur Caron and Arthemise Cote) on July 18th, 1899 in Notre Dame du Lac parish in N-D-du-Lac in Temiscouata County, Quebec.
Pascal Pinette (son of Joseph Pinette and Marie Anne Lemieux) married Marguerite Landry (daughter of Augustin Landry and Cecile Thibodeau) on May 19th, 1856 in St. Luce parish in Frenchville, Aroostook, Maine, USA.
Joseph Pinet Lafrance (previous wife Madeleine Lebel) married Marie-Anne Lemieux (previous husband Abraham Caron) on April 8th, 1823 in St. Roch parish in St-Roch-des-Aulanies, L’Islet, Quebec.
Joseph Pinet (son of Louis Pinet and Genevieve Bigaouette) married Marie Madeleine Lebel (daughter of Joseph Roch Lebel and Marie Angelique Carrier) on July 30th, 1821 in St. Andre parish in St-Andre, Kamouraska, Quebec.
Louis Pinet (son of Pierre Pinet and Marguerite Michaud) married Marie Bigaouette (daughter of Jean-Baptiste Bigaouette and Marguerite Bourbeau) on January 19th, 1795 in St. Andre parish in St-Andre, Kamouraska, Quebec.
Pierre Pinet (son of Julien Pinet and Antoinette Cocralle) married Marguerite Michaud (daughter of Louis Michaud and Genevieve Albert) on February 18th, 1765 in St. Louis parish in Kamouraska, Quebec.
Pierre Pinet was an original French Canadian settler so I made a brief post here. There is further information at Fichier Origine. If you don’t speak French let me know and I’ll extract more information for you.
