Tracing the families of Andre LaCombe and Marie Louise Gagne aka Marie Josette Quirion aka Marie Josette Roy aka Josette ______ who immigrated with their children in the 1830's from Beauce County Quebec and resettled in the Waterville, Maine area. Also tracing the families of Poulin and Rancourt and Voyer. These families traveled via the Old Canada Road that linked Lower Canada to Maine in the United States and were some of the earliest French Canadian families to resettle in Waterville, Maine.
Every one of these photographs is terrific. I especially love the angle and the message sent by the body language of your great grandmother. She seems formidable (but could have been very sweet -- or both, depending on the day!) Mom looks fresh and gorgeous. The pony picture is precious - 1930s? Her adult photo seems like fifties. Hairstyle isn't like forties. Am I right? Drop by. I'm tracing my family from Romania.
Hi Linda! Nice to hear from you! Great-grandmother: I think she could be stern and fun. In those days, people had to hold still for the brownie camera with no flash! Mom: adult photo is high school graduation picture in the early forties. Her classmates wrote about her "She will never be without a friend." She was very funny, caring and wise. The pony picture: around the early thirties.
