Hi, I found this post looking for something else. I just want to respecfully correct this.
Tenoise is this Severin Jean's brother that you've referenced above, marrying Eva Noble.
Tenoise and Severin Jean's father is Sovereign/Severin Jean (Sr), 1853-1915. Their mother is Marie Alida Lydia Lachance, known as Libbie, 1873-1954, both from L'isle Verte (Green Island), Quebec, Canada and both emigrants to Bay City, Michigan in the late 1800s. She was his 4th wife and bore most of his 20 children, including Tenoise and Severin (Jr.), and my grandfather, Lawrence (they are my grandfather's brothers).
