I am searching for my husband's GGrandfather origin. His name was Eli Thibadeau. Eli Thibadeau b. 11 March 1850 in French Canada (I have no proof of this-I have documents that show the year to be 1849-1859) d. 19 June 1930 in Duluth MN of Myocardial disease. He was married twice, the first marriage to Alice Donoghue on the 9th June 1884 in Harrisville, Michigan produced 3 children before Alice died 22 March 1891. Second marriage was to Caroline Laboeff around 1906. It produced no children that I am aware of.
The children of Eli and Alice were: Mary Cecilia (Mary Cecilia became Sister Patricia a nun) b. 9 April 1885 in Harrisville Michigan. Fred b. 15 June 1887 in Harrisville also. Arthur Thomas Sr. b. 11 August 1889 also in Harrisville. (Arthur is my husband’s grandfather. One of the son’s of Arthur Sr., Billy Peter is my husband’s father).
I have not been able to determine where in Canada Eli or Alice came from. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
