I had a few hours to make a lookup in the 1891 Canadian Federal Census in Quebec and I found Olivier PIVIN and Angelina GAGNÉ's family listed in Hereford, Compton co (PAC microfilm T-6392, ED-J-3, p. 14), which was the breakthrough I needed to complete the GAGNÉ ancestry. Their children are also listed : Exilia, Frank (born USA), Ludger, Alfred, Joseph.
Angelina's parents are : Théophile GAGNÉ and Angelique FORTIN, married 24 Nov. 1854 at St-Michel de Napierville, Qc. Angelina's brother Théophile GAGNÉ Jr was also living with the family, who was just above the GAGNÉ parents.
|
Angelique (Angelina) GAGNÉ (m. to Olivier PIVIN) was baptised 4 Jan. 1857 at St-Michel-de-Napierville (Napierville co.) Quebec. Her parents were : Theophile GAGNÉ & Angelique FORTIN who were married in the same parish 24 Nov. 1854. St-Michel-de-Napierville is situated on the South Shore of St.Lawrence River, about 50 kilometers from Montreal.
