Searching for other researchers that are working on these surnames to exchange information and help each other. I am particularly looking for the LEVEQUE Family from Canada whose famiy settled in Mackinac County in the early 1800's. Some given names for this family are: John Bte II, Issac, Paul, Mary L, and there are others, 10 known children whose names I do not have yet. Per the 1860 Census for Michilimakinac Co., St. Ignace Twp.,... Mary Lavake b. abt.1821-4 Canada married Louis LaJoice in Mackinac County on March 18, 1837. Louis was born in Canada abt. 1808. She is part of the LEVEQUE Family above from Canada. According to this census they had 5 children in Canada and 5 children after coming to Mackinac County. I have Mary Lavake/Leveque's death cert(died June 1905 in St. Ignace) which states her parents are Paul Lavake/Leveque and Mary Bishop but nothing else.

For the surname PLANKEY, I am looking for the parents of Rufus PLANKEY b. Sept 16, 1875 Canada, Immigrated 1890, married in St. Ignace to Agnes Lajoice. Rufus' father name is Frank or Francis. They reportedly stayed with the Beckers upon coming to MI.

I am also interested in further info on Angeline Robinson b. 1841 in Mackinac Co.(1870 #59-14) and her father Francis Robinson b. 1797 in Canada. Francis married Josette Jacob Chebayabos in Mackinac County on Sept 11, 1826.
