To Jim;
Not sure if we are decendants of your geneology,but I know of an uncle who passed on with the name James Poyerd of Taftville
Ct. He also had a son who was a missionary years ago, but I've lost contact with many of them. I am a decendant of William Poyerd
birth date is July 8 1899. He was my maternal
Grandfather. His wife(my grandmother) was Ida (Fawe)Poyerd and to my knowlege they were Canadian French.

Hi Cousin

Hi Julie
Yes we are definitely related - Your great-grandfather Alfred Poyerd and my grandfather James Poyerd were brothers. Their parents names were Solomon Poyerd and Adele Pellerin.
Alfred was the oldest of 14 children (3 died in infancy). Alfred was approximately 19 years older than my grandfather. I have the genealogy of the family back to 1621 France on Adele Pellerins side. Im still working on Solomons line but know his parents names
as Clement Poyer and Matilde Therrien. Note that Poyerd didnt appear until Solomon Poyer -- it is believe it derieved out of a clerical error. Anyone with the surname Poyerd is a direct descendant of Solomon. By the way the James who was a missionary is my dad -he's almost 80 now.
I have the names of most of the current Poyerd relations. Are you Loretta Poyerd and Joseph Delucias daughter? Feel free to email me at Forpsyt@aol.com
Regards from your cousin
Jim
