I too was born a Jolet. It's exciting to find someone with the same last name.
My grandparents came from Louisana in the early 1900. I know they were living in Memphis by 1907.
My grandfather's name was Joseph Ruben Jolet and we have no family information on him. We are the last of the Jolet's in this area. My father was the only surviving son and I have one brother who has no children. I have two daughter whose last name is Jolet-McKinley.
Do you know anything about this branch of the Jolet family?
Thanks,
Jerri
