I am looking for information on Alexander Bourgeois, my Great Grandfather. He was born in 1842 in Iles-de-Madeleine. He moved to the Stephenville Newfoundland area some time prior to 1894 where he married Harriet White (most likely Leblanc at that time)Any information would help. Was he aboriginal?

Alexandre Bourgeois was son of Raymond Bourgeois and Esther Bourgeois of Cheticamp, NS. He was born at Havre-Aubert on 23 May 1845. Raymond (s/o Jean & Angelique Poirier) and Esther (d/o Jean & Marie Chiasson) were married at Cheticamp on 24 Nov 1829. They are both of ACADIAN origin.

Please stop this incessant quest for "ABORIGINAL" ancestry. We're dealing with people of French Acadian-European ancestry, which can be proven by mtDNA results! Raymond and Esther stopped at the Magdalens for about a decade where seven of their eleven children were born, before moving on to Sandy Point, NF.

For further on Raymond and Esther, please visit the Bourgeois Family Genforum at genealogy.com, where I have answered others who share your ancestry. Dennis

PS I forgot to mention it, but enter Raymond in the search box at the Bourgeois genforum

Good afternoon,

I have documented your great grandfather back to his acadian roots.

See:

Anything you could provide me which will allow me to fill in the gaps of his descendants would be appreciated.

Sorry Marc,

No further info from me. You've got enough from my copyrighted book already!
