Surnames: Antil Rheault Lord Prince
I believe you are related to the late Lena (Antil) Rheault and Yvonne (Antil) Lord. Lena's daughter Lucille (Rheault) Prince (1927-1996) was my aunt. See http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rheault-66. I would appreciate any photos you have of Lena, Yvonne, Daniel Rheault, or Francis Lord.

I will look through my photos and see what I can come up with. Lucille and Ray come to visit my Grandmother when she was alive and living in Detroit. Did you know my Aunt Yvonne?

Thank you for your reply - I saw that you had posted some photos of Yvonne and Lena that were not available to the public.

Yes, I knew and loved Aunt Yvonne (Antil) Lord, and her husband Uncle Francis. Not really a "blood" relative to me, but Lucille (Rheault) Prince was my aunt by marriage to uncle Raymond Prince, and Yvonne and she were very close.

I am aware that Lucille and Ray visited the "Antil" relatives in Michigan - but I have not grasped who you, or your grandmother are in relation to Lucille.

My favourite memory of Aunt Yvonne is her playing the guitar and singing "Beautiful Blue Eyes". After Francis Lord died, she married Omer Croteau who gave her a better standard of living than she had known with Francis. Then, after Omer died, one of Omer's daughters cared for Yvonne for the rest of her life.

I am working on my tree on Wikitree, and my profile for Aunt Yvonne is here: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Antil-3 . Attached, photo of Lucille and Ray in 1969, the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary. Also, Yvonne appears in the video of the same celebration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P00uTIWwwBA

I was born in 1951 - Ray is my father's brother. Ray died in 2012.

See http://normanprince.net/ray.html - it may take a minute to load.

Ray remarried in 2001, and suffered dementia in his final years.

Wonderful Video Norman - Thank you for sharing. My Grandfather, Lionel Antil was Yvonne's brother. My grand-mother was Beatrice Petit. They moved to Detroit in the early 1940's. Loved seeing Aunt Yvonne - & Lucille and Ray. They looked exactly as I remember.

You're welcome. I was hoping you would send me full copies of the photos you have put on line of Yvonne (Antil) and Francis (see thumbnails here). And, if I'm lucky, a photo of Lena (Antil) Rheault who was my Aunt Lucille's mother.

Photo: my maternal grandmother Evangeline (Girouard) Prince; Yvonne Antil Lord Croteau; Lucille Rheault Prince. About 1960.

Photo: Yvonne, my mother Irene (Nicolas) Prince, and children David Prince and me, Norman Prince partially obscured. About 1955.

Do you have any photos of Yvonne's sister Lena Antil Rheault (Lucille's mother)?
