My ex-husband abandoned his two daughters when they were very young---I have little to no family history from their father's side of the family. Indications are that they are of native/metis ancestry. Here is what I do know: My daughter's names are Felicia and Cheyenne; my ex-husband's name is Richard Bruce
Gow from Ottawa/Hull; his mother's name (deceased) was
Lorette Gow (nee
Fournier) and his father's name (deceased) was
Percy Gow. Richard has a sister, Joan who was or is married to Danny
Knight and they have two daughters Tammy and Kathy. I believe they reside somewhere in or around the Gatineaus in Quebec. Percy had a sister Marge or Marjorie nee
Gow. It is Lorette's side of the family I am interested in. She had a sister,
Cecile LaCroix (nee
Fournier), a nephew
Luc or
Luke LaCroix. I believe that
Lorette grew up in the area of Lac
Ste Marie, and her parents were of aboriginal descent. Her father's first name was something like Turgeon--or started with a T. Richard
Gow had a family ring from his grandfather with a T on it. He spoke of spending a lot of his childhood at a lake in Quebec with his Grandfather
Fournier (Lac
Ste Marie??)
