My grandmother Marinette VIAU was born in Marinette WI in 1884. Her parents were Angenor VIAU & Esther/Minna BOYER, m. Malone NY Jan 1870.Their other children: Marie L /Mina b 1872 NY,, m. 1886 to Dennis AMBROSE; Nellie b. 1872/3 NY, d. infancy; Genor R , b. 187_ NY,, m. 1900 to Edmere GERVAIS; Margaret b. 1874 NY, m._____ to George G. Williams; Dora b. 1876 NY, m.____ to Chet SHIELDS; Michael, b.____ NY, d. infancy; Cora b. 1882 _?_, m. 1900 to Henry BEAUDRY; Theodore b. 188_ d. age 2 1/2; Earl b. 1890? WI or MI, d. age 4 mo.; Mose b. 1888 Marinette WI: Florence b. 1888, m.1)__?_ to __ ?_ ; m2) 1913 to Dr. John ATKINSON; m3) 1915 to Jack JOHNSON; m4) 1921 to _ ?_ , m5) 1939 to John REISINGER; Pearl b. 1889 Marinette WI. m. 1933 to _?_ ROBARGE; Mary Adelaide b. 1891 Marinette WI, m. 1920 George PARKINSON. This family exchanged homes with a family of cousins in Menominee MI, maybe more than once, due to job changes. When did this happen, & who were these cousins?
Esther/Mina's parents were also residents of Marinette, Menominee, & possibly Green Bay WI. Their names were Israel BOYER & (his 2nd wife) Adelaide PETELLE, and their other children included: Mary b. 1848/9 NY, m. Duffu COUTT; Alvina/Vinna b._?_ NY?, m1) _?_ to Alfred DULUDE/DELUDE; m2) 1893 to Alphonse O. HEBERT; m3) 1919 Menominee MI to Frank PELKEY; Louise b. _?_ Malone NY, m1) _?_ to Charles B. DAUPHIN, m2) 1896 Marinette to Oliver LaFOUNTAIN; Gideon/Jedidiah b. 1853 NY; Chet b. 1855 NY?; Maquise/Magloire (Mack) b. 1858 NY, m. Madrise/Mederisse ROY; Alfred b. 1858/9; George b. 1866 NY, d. 1898 Marinette.
Curious to know if/how these families were related to the MATTE, MARINEAU, & LIVERMACHE/LIVERNOCHE families.
Israel BOYER 's 1st wife had been Marcelline FAILLE/FAYE. It is probable that their several children came to Menominee also. They were: Israel b._?_ NY, d. Kansas City 1888; Antoine b. 1839/40 Canada, m. _?_ to Mary Louise _______ . They may have also had another son named Pete?
Happy to exchange info. Regards, Tom
