Would it be possible for anyone living in the area to take a photograph at the St-Gervais Cemetery? I am looking for the gravemarker of Michel ARBOUR, b. 28 Feb 1755 d. 19 Feb 1835 bur. 21 Feb 1855 at St-Gervais. Greatly appreciated Pat Rosson

Hello:

My ancestor have lived in St-Gervais and nearbly for several generation. Still have cousins there. I go through this town once a year. Next trip is next summer. Hopefully, one can obtain some info from the manager because this is a relatively large cemetery. Will make an attempt next summer. Remind me in mid-Jun 2013.

Thank-lyou for your reply. The basic problem is that I don't have any French language and the Cemetery people have no English. I will remind you in June. Thanks so much. Pat Rosson

Hello Pat:

Are you interested in a report of descendance of Michel Arbour who married Barbe Morin?

Send me a email because I do not believe I could attach it to this kind of msg.

Hi Jean-Marie,
This message thread is very interesting and exciting for me. I must have several Gonthier ancestors buried at St-Gervais, since my family appears in the parish records from about 1780 until 1848. In 1848 my ancestors moved to St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and became Gauthiers. My Gonthier ancestors likely buried in St-Gervais are:

Joseph Marie BERNARD dit GONTHIER, died unknown.
- married Marguerite LARRIVÉE on 2 Mar 1772 in Saint-Michel Ladurantaye.

Marguerite LARRIVÉE, died 31 May 1818 St-Gervais.

Joseph GONTHIER dit BERNARD, died 22 Jan 1848 St-Gervais.
- married Marie FRADET on 21 Aug 1797 in Saint-Charles, Bellechasse.

Marie FRADET, died 6 May 1847 St-Gervais.


There are also children of these families buried at St-Gervais.

If you are willing during your visit to the St-Gervais cemetery next summer, would you notice any Gonthier or Bernard graves as you walk through, and would you take a picture for me? If it is helpful I will write to the cemetery manager asking for grave locations.

Thanks, and regards,

Robert Gauthier

bonjour Jean-Marie,
I wrote a nice request letter in French to the cemetery manager at St-Gervais requesting my grave locations, but I have not received a reply. So I will not be able to tell you the locations. However, if luck is with us during your visit this summer and you notice one of my ancestor's graves, I would be very grateful if you would send me a picture.

Joseph Marie BERNARD dit GONTHIER, died unknown.
- married Marguerite LARRIVÉE on 2 Mar 1772 in Saint-Michel Ladurantaye.

Hi Jean-Marie,

Thanks for the link to the Gonthiers buried in Bellechasse cemeteries. It is very interesting to view the grave markers of these distant cousins.

I hope the St-Gervais cemetery manager is able to help you to locate the graves of my ancient Gonthiers. Thank you again for your offer to look for them.

Best regards,

Robert Gauthier
