My husband ,Joseph De Lamadeleine's grandfather came from Normandy Franc and settled in Upton, canada Quebec. He was married to a german lady(name unknown) they had 6 sons and 1 daughter. This info came from my husband's mother, since his father died very young in his early30s, he didn't know him at all. My husband is Joseph De Lamadeleine and his father's name was Henri De Lamadeleine. I myself heard that there was royalty also . One of Henri's De Lamadeleine (Mary was supposed to be a Countess. She told us that she has some papers on that. Mae D
