Desroches family

Desroches family

Surnames: Desroches
My father was Joseph Edward Desroches and born in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan.
His mother was married twice and I believe here first name was Marie and they lived in The Pas, Manitoba.
He had two sisters Jean and Alice and a brother Emile and a step brother named George.
My grandmother I was told ran a hotel in The Pas that kept the indian women from the reservation until the train came to take them to Winnipeg.
I have very little information about my dad's side of the family.
Looking for help.

I think I have some info on your family. My husband had a great aunt Marie Theotisse Klyne who married a George Gedeon Masse and was buried in The Pas as Marie DesRoches. The family story also says that they had a hotel. Marie Klyne & Gedeon Masse had 2 children that I know of -Alice b 1904 & George b 1908. When George Joseph Masse was buried in The Pas in 1965 the contact was Jean Nicol.
If this sounds like your family, I have some other info and pictures that I will gladly share with you.

Thank you very much that is my fathers mother and it had been so long since I have been in contact with his relatives I could not remember their names but you filled in a lot of information and would appreciate anything you can add as my children are tracking their family tree.
I thought she was married to Uncle George Masse's father.

I have been trying to track this family for awhile but I wasn't getting too far. Send a message to klyne(at)shaw.ca and I will send you the info & pictures that I have.

Hi Brian, This is your cousin Perry Nicol. Don't know if you remember me but my mother was Jean and I remember you coming up some summers. I live in Saskatoon, SK. I am just heading out to work and will be back home on Tuesday so I will send you a proper email then. You can email me @ ppnicol@sasktel.net prior to that if you want me to send to your email.

So surprised to find you on here!
