My father, George Etienne Lachapelle, does not
have much info on his father for whom he was
named. Born and raised in Montreal, Canada
his father left when he was 3 or 4 yrs. old.
I would like to find any relatives that I may
have, if possible. MY great grandparents were
named Dora (Carpentier) and Leon Lachapelle.
Please contact me by e-mail at gcmayo@azstarnet.com
if you have any info. Thank you in advance!

Corinne, I am sorry I cannot help on your grandfather, but would certainly like to find the descendants of Lachapelle ancestry from Montreal. Pierre Hubert Lachapelle of Canada md. Marie Carron in 1811 in Opelousas, Louisiana. He was the son of Hubert and Cecile Gallipe (who never came to Louisiana. Any early information on the Lachapelles will be appreciated.

Now, where did your grandfather go from Montreal? Where are you from? And, is Mayo a Louisiana name? Is it a variation in spelling of Mayeux/mayeaux???

As far as I know my grandfather could either be in Canada or the US. He didn't stay in touch and I have never met him. Mayo is Irish, nice and easy name. I am originally from Montreal. Parents moved to California when I was 2 and became US citizens a few years later.

I am in the process of researching the John Priel Family out of Ontario around the mid 1800's. I noticed that you have a Catherine Priel listed on your tree with the same information as our Catherine M Priel Nebraska. I am wondering if you would be interested in sharing your info with me.
