Glad that your research is getting good results. True we do have to look at the paper trail still. Also true that he might be a cousin to the Comeau family.

Great how the DNA analysis and the paper trail came together on this person.

Hello, I am one of your half-sisters. Richard Vance was my biological father, I have half-siblings Marc and Regina that I have not met.

Richard was married to my mother first and then Elaine.

I very much want to connect and get to know my siblings.

Dave and Mary Comeau had the following children
Ann, Dave, Fred, Irene, John, Louie, Phil, Ray and Theresa
(birth order uncertain)

At least some of the children attended T.L. Kennedy in the 70's.

It's a bit of a sensitive situation, but Dave and Mary are my biological grandparents and I would like some information about them without intruding on this family.

I see. I was replying to a message that appears to come from a child of Richard Vance Comeau. My brother and I have been searching for our familiy. I'll try the link again.

Re: looking for familiy

sebcomeau — 2012-04-05 02:43:31Z

The link brings you to the page of Keith Comeau, son of Martin Comeau and Eva Robbins from NS Canada. If you look at the family you'll notice Keith had a brother named Vance which gives a hint of him being the father of Richard Vance (where his uncle might have been his godfather maybe).

My name is Sebastien Comeau and I am the person behind the Comeau Genealogy website. I have no direct relation to this family apart of the fact that we share the same ancestor, namely Pierre Comeau.

Re: looking for familiy

cathyjsrn — 2012-04-05 02:34:21Z

I'm not sure how to use your link to find the info about Keith and his brother but would like to know. I also found that 1930 census data and hope to find much more from the 1940 census. My brother and I think Ray lives in Lynn, Mass and plan to contact him when we are both in Mass. at the end of May.

Do you mind telling me who you are in relation to Richard? An offspring of his? What year were you born?

Re: looking for familiy

sebcomeau — 2012-04-05 02:11:20Z

The probable father of Richard Vance:

http://www.comeaunet.org/database/getperson.php?personID=I31...

Keith had a brother named Vance and on the 1930 US census,in Worcester, we find Keith A 23 yo, wife Bertha 20yo and Howard K. 1 yo.

Re: looking for familiy

cathyjsrn — 2012-04-05 01:37:17Z

Richard Vance Comeau was born on December 2, 1930. I have pictures of him on his and Mom's wedding day on April 10, 1954. His brother Norman W. Comeau was the best man and Norman's wife Joan was the maid of honor. They were married at the Wesley Church in Worcester Mass. They went on to have three children, William Richard, David Wayne and me Cathleen Joyce. They divorced in 1961 I think. After the divorce he married a woman named Elaine and they had three kids, Regina, Marc, and Denise. This much I know as fact. I also know that Richard was one of eight children.

I will check the thread but of these things I'm sure.

Not so sure about his parent's names though think it was Keith A. and Bertha. She called me once in 1976 after the birth of my first child but that was the last time I ever heard from her.

Hello, I am a daughter of Richard Vance Comeau who has a twin brother Raymond. I have 2 brothers from that marriage too. I have heard that we have a half-sister Regina and a half- brother Marc. We also had a half-sister Denise but she died many years ago.

We were raised in Massachusetts, Marc, Regina and Denise were raised in Wilmington, Delaware for at least part of their lives and may still be there. I have not had much luck finding them. My brother and I intend to find Ray next month when we meet in New England.

We very much want to find our brothers and sisters. Please contact me, my name is Cathleen Smith (Comeau) and I was born in 1960.

Re: Daniel Comeau

robertcomeau1 — 2012-03-14 01:05:10Z

Evangeline Comeau was my father's grand aunt and she did live to about 1972. She would visit her relatives often so I am not surprised that many here would know her.

Re: Daniel Comeau

robertcomeau1 — 2012-03-14 00:21:19Z

Evangeline Comeau and Daniel Comeau are first cousins. She was the 13th child of Felix Comeau. She was born in 1883 in North Grosvenor Dale, Windham, Connecticut. Since she and Daniel have the same grandfather Joseph Comeau dit Chailloux, they are first cousins. I meet her when I was young and my father talked of her often.

Re: Daniel Comeau

Good afternoon.

My name is Bryan Le Blanc, and I am a relative. My paternal grandmother was Alida (Comeau) Le Blanc, a resident (as I am) of Leominster, MA. Her father was (Joseph) Ernest Comeau, who was born in North Grosvenordale, CT, in 1882 and died in Leominster in 1928. His father was Telesphore Ernest Comeau (1857 Warwick, QC -1900 (North Grosvenordale, CT)) and mother was Helouise Pare (1856 (Warwick, QC) -1935 (Leominster, MA)). Telesphore's father was Joseph Felix Comeau (b. 1825 QC died New Bedford, MA 1913). J. Felix was married to Marie Julie Euphemie Legendre (b. 1835 QC died New Bedford, MA 1905). J. Felix was the son of Joseph & Victoire (Cloutier) Comeau. Sound familiar?

I have been looking for Soeur Jeanne (whatever happened to her) for so many years. Did she die in 1972? If so, where? Do you happen to know which order she was with? Any information that you could provide would be so much appreciated! Merci mille fois!!!!

Big announcement regarding Antoine Comeau

sebcomeau — 2011-12-30 16:46:49Z

After analysis of the DNA tests done by male Comeau and Coombs we can now assume that Antoine Comeau, son of Pierre Comeau born about 1661 in Port-Royal is Anthony Coombs, who established himself in Wells, Maine circa 1687 with Louis Allain and married Dorcas Woodin on september 5th, 1688.

For Peggy Comeau: Lena was my great-aunt on my mom's side of the family, the LeBlanc. Lena and my grand-father Jos were brother and sister. I remember aunt Lena very well, she and mom wrote back and forth all the time and aunt Lena would always come to visit mom when she visited Nova Scotia.

I wish I had asked more questions at the time! Now I am trying to piece together Lena and Louis' descendants.

May I send you a private email?

Re: comeaus from Digby County

peggy_comeau — 2011-10-16 18:46:48Z

Yes, thanks, I did. Lorraine is the last of Lena's children still alive. Who was your father?

Thanks for contacting me.

Re: Anthony Coombs/Anthony Comeau

Anthony Coombs/Anthony Comeau

bellthecat11 — 2011-07-13 17:00:47Z

I have been able to trace my family line back to Anthony Coombs b. ca. 1660, living in Wells,Maine, in the 1680's. Recently I did a DNA test and found I was related to the Comeau's of Port Royal. Could my Anthony Coombs be Anthoine the child of Pierre Comeau and Rose Bayol. Anthony was reputed to be French, he names his first son Peter, and he is associated in Maine with Louis Allain, who moved to Port Royal after the Indian attacks in Maine. Any thoughts?

Re: Comeau's in Nova Scotia

unionfk — 2011-05-01 04:59:26Z

Hi again. Here is the information that I was able to find: Elisee (Elisha) T. Comeau was born on Sep 26, 1867 in Clare, Digby County, Nova Scotia. He was the son of Mande Telesphore Comeau and his first wife Marie Comeau. Elisee first came to the US in 1888. He married Marguerite Melanson (not Saulnier) on Apr 20, 1896 in Haverhill, MA. Marguerite was the daughter of Jean Baptiste Melanson & Rose Melanson. She was born Nov 26, 1867 in Church Point, Digby County, Nova Scotia.
Children of Elisee (Elisha) Comeau & Marguerite Melanson:

1. Marguerite Comeau: born Jan 24, 1897 in Haverhill, MA
2. Ambrose John Baptiste Comeau: born Jul 29, 1903 in Haverhill, MA. Died in Dec 1986, Lynn, MA.
3. Marie Rose Anne Comeau: born Oct 28, 1906 in Lynn, MA
4. Philip J. Comeau: born Apr 16, 1908 in Grosses Coques, Digby County, Nova Scotia. Married - Beatrice Descheneau on Dec 15, 1934 in Plasitow, NH. Died - Jan 1985.

Some time after the birth of Marie Rose Ann Comeau in 1906 the family moved back to Nova Scotia and then returned to Massachusetts and settled in Lynn.

Hope this helps. I have additional information if you need it, you email me at unionfk@yahoo.com

annegjones640 — 2011-04-30 12:58:40Z

Yes, that certainly is is the family. How wonderful. Do you know who his father and mother was. The only thing that I have is that Elisha's wife was Marguerite Saulnier. Was the daughter Marguerite really born in Haverhill in 1897? I thought that they did not migrate until about 1915? Philip did go through 6th grade in Digby.

Re: Comeau's in Nova Scotia

unionfk — 2011-04-30 03:27:12Z

I found an Elisha Comeau who was married to Marguerite Melanson. They had a daughter Marguerite Comeau who was born in Haverhill, MA in 1897 and they had a son Philip J. Comeau who was born in Nova Scotia in 1908, he married Beatrice Descheneau in 1934. Is this possibly the family you are looking for?

Re: Comeau's in Nova Scotia

annegjones640 — 2011-03-29 18:16:49Z

Marguerite Saulnier is listed in the 1881 census in Meteghan, Digby, NS. with father Pierre, mother Jennievre; siblings Eve (male),Henrie, Elizabeth and Arthur, Leger, Anseime, and Alphe

Re: Comeau's in Nova Scotia

annegjones640 — 2011-03-29 17:33:10Z

Marguerite Saulnier b. 25 Oct 1867 Clare, Digby Co; d. 1848 Lynn, MA. She was the daughter of Pierre Ignace Saulnier 1839-1891 and his wife Genevieve Saulnier 1840-1891
Elisha (Elise?) Comeau and Mar4guerite had: Ambrose J. b. 29 Jul 1903; Margaret Saulnier b. 25 Apr 1904; Rose b. 4 Jun 1906; and Philip Jaque b. 16 Apr 1908. They were living in Grosse Point. They seemed to have moved to Massachusetts in 1915
I have the 1911 census also. and the 1920 census in MA. Can find nothing back. They must have lived in the St. Marys Bay area.

Re: Comeau's in Nova Scotia

unionfk — 2011-03-28 22:14:52Z

Do you have any names of his siblings or the parents of Marguerite Saulnier? I found the family in the 1911 census living in Grosses Coques but not able to find them in the 1901 census.

Re: Comeau's in Nova Scotia

annegjones640 — 2011-03-28 15:50:07Z

Thank you for the information. I guess that this is not the one that I am looking for as my Elisha (Elise) married Margurite Saulnier. They may have been in Grosse Coque or Church Point. The migrated to Massachusetts about 1915.

Re: Comeau's in Nova Scotia

unionfk — 2011-03-28 02:19:37Z

Hi,
I read through my books from Digby County and in the Comeau Family Book, by Andre Comeau. Louis Comeau & Rosalie Gaudet had a son named Elizeus Comeau: born Aug 15, 1868 in Meteghan, Nova Scotia and he married Justinienne LeBlanc. I will research some more and see what I can find with you.

Re: Comeau's in Nova Scotia

annegjones640 — 2011-03-12 16:34:38Z

I have Elisha T. Comeau b. 1868 in Digby Co. NS and died 1952 in Lynn, MA, USA. He married Margurite Saulnier sometime before 1903 maybe in the 1890s. I have the family living in Grosse Point, Digby Co. I believe they emigrated in 1915 according to the 1920 census in Massachusetts.
He is probably the son of Louis Comeau b. 15 Apr 1835 Meteghan, Digby Co. (died 1883 Meteghan) and his wife Rosalie Gaudet b. 19 Jan 1839 Concession, Diby Co and d. 24 Feb 1927 Meteghan, Digby Co.
What I need is to really establish the connection between Elisha and his father. It is had to read the handwritten French baptismal record as my French is very limited at this time.
