I am a decendent of Catherine Frigon who married Louis-Joseph Disilets in 1761. Catherine's parents were Jeanne Deshaies and Francois Frigon. I am told that Jeanne Deshaies is a decendent of Sir Lomor Gouin, de Sanguiner, du Cardinal Villeneuve, and Sir Wilfred Laurier. Who are these men?

When I looked up your previous posts, I could not help but notice this one. Of course, like with Sulte, the men you mention would be descendents of your ancestor rather than the other way around.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier (1841-1919) was the seventh Canadian Prime Minister (1896-1911).

Sir Jean Lomer Gouin (1861-1929) was the Prime Minister of the province of Québec (1905-1920) and a member of the Canadian parliement (1921-1924) where he was Minister of Justice.

Jean-Marie Rodrigue Villeneuve (1883-1947) was a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church (1933-1947). He was Archbishop of Québec from 1931 to 1947.

As for Sanguiner, I believe you mean Sanguinet. The two brothers, Ambroise and Charles Sanguinet, were farmers involved in the 1837-38 rebellion on the side of the "Patriots". They were hanged in Montreal after the rebellion.
