Looking for information with respect to Delima Catafard who married Louis Billard, son of Louis Billard and Zoe Cardinal probably between 1885 and 1900. Louis grew up in Moosecreek, Ontario and was likely buried in St. Raphaels, Ontario. Delima may have had a brother named Joseph Catafard who married Louis' sister, Zoe Billard.

Dear Ms. Wilkins,

This may help your search.

I am Christian L'Écuyer, the son of Cécile Catafard and grand-son of Edmond Catafard. I just chanced today upon a file in my deceased mother's things containing the Certificate of Baptism of my grand-father. It was registered at St. Finnan's Cathedral Parish, Alexandria, Ontario, Canada.

My grand-father is listed as "Edmond Quatrefort (Cataford), child of Antoine Quatrefort and Virginie Quevillon, born on nineth day of May 1878". He was "baptised on the thirtheenth day of May 1878 according to the rite of the Roman Catholic Church." His sponsors (godfather and godmother) were "Louis Biard and Delima Quatrefort".

The Quatrefort family name is listed on the CousinsWeb site at
http://cgw87.dindinaud.org/fc87pres.htm (and probably on other sites). I would think it is possibly linked to French nobility since it is also listed as "de Quatrefort" on that site.

May I ask if you would be a distant cousin? (:-)

I am available at this address if you need more information.

Sincerely,

Christian L'Écuyer

Bonjour Monsieur L'Écuyer,

J'ose espérer que vous parler français.

De mon côté je cherche les parents de Louis Billard la conjointe de Louis Biard (Billard) dont le fils est William Biard marié à Emma Dicaire, en Ontario, Ste-Anne-de-Prescott.

Je cherche désespéremment les coordonées de ce Louis afin de finaliser mon arbre généalogique.

Selon mon père, sa femme n'était pas de la même région. Mais ces données ne sont pas sures.

J'espère bien recevoir de vos nouvelles afin de démystifier ma recherche.

Est-ce que nous sommes dans la mpeme ligneé ?? à vous de me le dire.

Merci beaucoup

I believe this family immigrated to Arthur township, Chippewa county, Wisconsin, USA, in 1881, after being enumerated in the 1881 Canadian census (name is listed as Biarl in the online version) at Hawkesbury East, Prescott, Ontario, Canada. The family is listed the 1900 US Federal Census with 4 sons born in Canada plus 3 daughters and 2 sons born in the US. In Ontario, they are next door neighbors to Louis and Zoe "Biarl", so I am reasonably certain that this is the family you are looking for. Delima and Louis's daughter Sarah is my children's great grandmother.
