That same family in the 1891 census:
Montcalm, Provencher, Manitoba
Francois Mercier, age 64, born Quebec, farmer
Philomine, age 52, born Quebec
Joseph, age 17, born U.S.
Rosalie, age 15, born U.S.
Elisabeth, age 13, born U.S.
Arsina, age 12, born Manitoba
Hector, age 6, born Manitoba

Manitoba Vital Statistics have an online index:
http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php

I don’t see Arsina’s birth listed but her brother Hector is there. He was born Joseph Hector Henri Mercier, 7 Aug 1884, RM of Montcalm, and his mother’s name is shown as Philomene GENSON.

The marriages of some of the Mercier girls are listed too. Any of them can be ordered for $12.00 each and should give a more specific place of birth and their mother’s maiden name.

For a picture of Philomene and Arsina, go to

The attachments are of the grave for Frank and Arsina at Sacred Heart Cemetery (New French Cemetery), New Bedford, Mass.

The other side is their son Emery's in-laws. They bought the lot together when Frank died.

I have tintypes from my Aunt in the same time frame. She doesn't know who they are, but I'm working on it. They are either Menards or Merciers though.

Frank was my great grandfather. I told my mom about the picture of him and she told me that he was a butcher. She also said that the next time they go to the Acushnet cemetery she'll get a picture of Lucille Menard's grave. Although she died in Fla. she's buried at the family plot in Mass. She thinks I'm crazy asking for the pictures of the graves but I think it's helpful.
