Piquette (Became Pickett at some point)

Piquette (Became Pickett at some point)

I'm looking for any information on my great, great grandparents and the Piquette family line. My great-grandmother was Clorise Pickett (Piquette), father Joseph M Pickett (Piquette), his father Joseph Piquette, believe his father was Jean Baptiste Piquette from St. Jacques, Quebec. I know they were French-Canadian in descent. My grandmother and her parents lived in NW Minnesota. I've actually seen the funeral card for Joseph M. Pickett. Beyond that, I have no real info beside what I've found on ancestry.com. My grandmother and all of her siblings are dead and most of the family history is lost.
I appreciate any info anyone has.

Thank you,
Robyn

Hi Becky,

The only Piquette I really know about is Joseph Picquette (he was Pickett in his obituary), who was my grandmother's maternal grandfather. I do know that they were French Canadian but there are so many people with the same name that I'm just trying to narrow things down based on birth dates/locations, etc. I actually saw his obituary card as a child, but unfortunately, my grandmother destroyed a lot of family pictures and things when her Alzheimer's got bad, and that was one thing that was lost, so I ahve to guess on date of birth. I know that his daughter settled in Northern Minnesota, where I'm from originally, but it looks like she was born in southern/central Minnesota, so they may have migrated from another area before moving north. I will definitely keep you posted if I find some more information.
