I am the grandson of Ferdinand (Frank) Phaneuf. My mother was the 1st Pauline, born Nov. 4th, 1918 in Detroit. Four days later the 2nd Pauline was born in Quebec, her mother was Flora (Phaneuf) Fournier. Both women were pregnant at the same time the the first to give birth to a girl was to be named after Apolline, our great-grandmother. William (Bill) was the son of Leo (Leonidas) and Evelyn (Delair).
Philias was 4th child of Pierre Phaneuf and Apolline Meunier. Then came Dorilla, my grandfather, Avila Ferdinand, then Oliva Elphege, then many others. Leo (Leonidas) was the youngest born 27 years after the birth of his eldest sister Elisa born in 1868...he was born in 1895.
I met Dolette at the Phaneuf reunion in 1971-72 (?).
PLEASE contact me at my email
rdpmek@comcast.netI have a very special picture of Philias,my grandfather (Frank), and their sisters Dorilla and Flora and would love to share.
Thank you so much for contacting me. I live in the Detroit area and am 61 years old. Are you descended from Dolette or one of her brothers? You have me soooo excited about this connection.
Thanks again for the response Rick Peters Warren, Mi.
