Surnames: Desgagne
I think I may be his daughter, I was born November 28th, 1957 and I have a brother Michael who wad born March 10, 1960. My mother was Mary Elizabeth (Bette) Desgagne (Nee : Chisholm) and she married my father : Majella in 1955. My parents separated when I was a toddler and I never knew my dad or his family; but my mother spoke of my father and my grandparents occassionally. I was born in Kirkland Lake and was baptized at the Church of the Assumption and my grandmother: Lillian is listed as my godmother. My mother recently died (December 13, 2014); I would really like to know if I have family from my fathers side who might like to know me and my family. I am happily married with four children of my own and grandchildren

Hi, do you know about when Majella was born?

There is a bapt. for a Joseph Elzear Majella Degagne in Taschereau, St. Pierre, Abitibi Co. Quebec - 1936 with parents Almas Degagne and Liliane Fortier. Sponsors were Elzear Fortier and Leonie Gilber, grandparents.

If this sounds like it could be the right family -

There are bapt. of several siblings, but since they are likely still living I do not want to post the info here, but email me at claporte@shaw.ca and I will give you what I found.

Hello Denise,
Did you check the Desgagne surname board. A lady, do the same search Majella Desgagne.
http://boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=12482&a...

It says that Majella Elzear Desgagne born March 3, 1936, his parents are: Joseph Almas Desgagne and Lillian Fortier.
And that Lillian Fortier died in Kirkland Lake Aug 2, 1966. Almas Desgagne died in Montréal, in 1970. I didn't check the infos, I just repeat the infos from the link. I hope it will help you.
I just found the tombstone of Desgagne family : parents of Majella. There is a list of his brothers & sisters.

Some advice about posting on the boards:

To the OP (original poster) Denise.

You can edit your own posts, instead of starting a new thread to post corrected info, EDIT the original post. There is a pencil icon in the lower right corner of the post, hit that and make your changes, hit save.

To the general posting pop:

NEVER post your email address on a public message board on the internet without "munging" it. Munging prevents it from being picked by trolling bots and used to wreak havoc with spam and worse. A munging example is: byname(at)domain.com, replace the "@" with "(at)", it's that simple.
