I am trying to find any information on my great-uncle Arthur Russell Geoffrion. The son of Arthur Geoffrion and Eulalie Geoffrion (nee Delude) both of French Canadian stock from Vercheres, Providnce Quebec. Arthur was born in 1881 in Fitchburg Mass. Attended Fitchburg High School graduating about 1998-1999. Upon the death of Eulalie (1898) his father remarried a Florence Abbot of Lowell, Mass about 1901-1902. Tension with the new stepmother led to Arthur leaving home, never to be heard from again. His brother, Victor Oscar Geoffrion (1885-1974) my grandfather, often spoke of his brother Arthur and the mystery of his whereabouts. The family did recieve a letter from a bank in New York City inquiring about Arthur. There were no problems but he simply did not return to work one day and they were concerned about him.
If anyone knows any information about Arthur Russell Geoffrion I would be most interested in hearing from you..........Alan Geoffrion

Hello Alan,
All Geoffrions in North America are descendants of Pierre Joffrion who came from France in 1665. Pierre's son Jean settled in Varennes. I was there this past weekend since I live in the area (Montreal) and I took quite a number of pictures of the village, church, cemetery etc.. As far as Victor Oscar and Arthur and a wife named Delude are concerned I actually have a photo of them with a note attached
which I have scanned and can email you. They moved to California.

Robin,
Nearly three years later I just saw your email of 27 june 2003. Yes, any information on my relative of the Geoffrion family would be greatly appreciated.

I am very interested in all that I can find out about the general Geoffrion clan.
Thank you..............Alan Geoffrion

Hello Alan,

I've been compiling a genealogy of the Geoffrion family and am aware of Arthur Russell. I have been unable to find out what happened to him or where he went. He does not appear in the census of 1910, 1920 or 1930 leading me to think he either died, changed his name or left the country. His brother Victor Oscar moved to California and then to Manhatten.

If you would like to know about the rest of the Geoffrions send me a note at fgeoff@comcast.net.
