Surnames: Vallee Perrault
Seeking any information or connections to Alfred Joseph Vallee, b. 18 Jan 1881, Canada. I've, to date, found him on the 1910 US Census in Somersworth, NH (pretty much the same as Lewiston, Maine) with his wife (Wilhelmine Perrault), a child, a step-child, father-in-law and brother-in-law. I've also found the WW1 draft registration for him taken in September of 1918, in Lewiston, Maine.

His wife is listed as a widower in the 1920 US Census, and his daughter from that marriage is living in St. Mary's Orphanage in Lewiston.

I'm having difficulty locating him in Drouin, or any Canadian census. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Cousin,

I recognized your "Mystery Wisconsin" name from somewhere..

This is my connection to your family. I am trying to find out information on the Perraults;

Edward Perrault Sr.(my ggg Grandfather) had three children; Wilhelmine Perrault(my gg Grandmother), Edward Perrault Jr., and Leda Perrault. Wilhelmine married an unknown "Cote". They had a daughter Leda b. 1904 (USA).

Wilhelmine later married Alfred Joseph Vallee b. 18 Jan 1881 (Canada). His Parents were Octave Elie Vallee and Marie Julie Lalonde. These are all members of Rudy Vallee's family. My grandmother is Rhenda Leda Vallee b. 25 Nov. 1910 (NH, USA), d. 26 Jun 1965 (ME, USA). Rhenda is the daughter of Wilhelmine and Alfred Joseph Vallee.

My grandmother was Rudy Valle's (Hubert Prior Vallee) third cousin.
Alfred and The 1910 Lewiston, ME USA census shows Edward and his son Ed. Jr. to be living there. Both were born in Canada (French). Neither could read or write english and neither was employed. Edward Sr. Nationalized and Edward Jr. was alien. This puts Edward Sr. at 54 and Jr. at 34.

I have a ton of resources I can provide you with. I am sure I emailed you a website that has tons of info also. If not email me and I will provide it to you.

Good Luck. Hope it helps

I can remember my grandmother telling me we were kin to Rudy Vallee. I have a gap in the family tree after James Vallee b. 1823 (m. Lucretia Victoria Adelaide Montgomery b.1825). I have a document written in French (D? Edmond Vallee and Augustina Fredieu 17 Mar 1868). Whatever it is, it seems to have taken place in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Do you have information on any of these people.
thanks

Interesting bit of evidence, here:

http://strongfamilytree.org/getperson.php?personID=I18194&am...

"States that a fire at the court house in Colfax, and after the death of Uncle Vallee, the home at Valle's Landing was destroyed. Records no longer exist. The home was situated on the banks of the Red River, about 5 miles below Colfax, La known as Valle's Landing. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 82)."

Thanks, that's interesting. My g-grandfather was born there: Herbert Lynwood Vallee Sr. I never knew where it was.
