Doyou have any information to share? I am just statring to search for my ancestry. My maternal grandfather was Holbert Jean. Although he was born in New Orleans or Baton Rouge La, his father (my gr grandfather ) came from Canada, whose parents reportedly came from France. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Reply to this e-mail. Thanks

I have very little information on my Marcel Jean. I do know that yours may be a little easier as I have seen that name.
|
Yes!! That is my grandfather and I have his line for a couple of generations back. My mother is Thelma Louise Jean (Tarwater)
|
sorry i was confused and read my own post!

Severin Jean is my great grandfather and Joseph Pierre is my great great grandfather. My sister and I have been working on our family tree since 1989, found alot but still have a ways to go yet. How are your related to Severin?

Severin is a third cousin. I've researched the Jean family in Canada [appx 2300 names], but have little info on the family's move to the USA, other than those who migrated to the east coast. Joseph-Pierre Jean and Marie Theriault had 16 children and moved to Bay City, Michigan around 1869, and that's as far as I go. If there is any info you're looking for re: Jeans in Canada let me know.

Hi Roger, Maybe you can help me with some JEAN research. I am trying to find info on my 2G-grandfather, Arsene JEAN, m. Domitilde St. AMAND/T. Her parents were Calixte St. AMAND/T & Basilisse ROULEAU. I find them, and their children, in the 1881 Canadian Census in Ste. Falvie, Rimouski, PQ. They later turn up in the 1910 US Census -- Kingston, Plymouth County, MA, as Arscen & Domitere JEAN. According to this census, they came to the USA in 1880. I find their son, Joseph, who m. Mary Bell, and their family, in the 1910 & 1920 US Censuses for Fall River, MA, USA. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you, Hale` Moreau

I do not have an answer to your question, but I was happy to see your explanation of the use of dit. My mother's family name of Dick turned into Dick dit Gresse, and variations of that, going back only 3 generations in Quebec. Thank you for the clarification. Peter.
