Hi Andrienne:

A Lafreniere/Laferriere reseacher advised me that Marie Josephte was a Missouri indian who was adopted by Alexis & Marie Jeanne Laferriere. This person has a copy of the her baptism which states she's adopted, and her parents were Missouri indian. It does seem odd that it would be a Missouri indian, and it could always be a mistake...

Thanks.

Re: Was Marie Josephe Laferriere a Native American?

Adrienne400 — 2012-01-23 01:15:38Z

I have that Marie Josephte married Guillaume on Feb7 1774. Her parents were Alexis Aurez dit LaFerriere and mother Marie Jeanne Anne Genereux. Hope this is the correct one. I have the parents for Guillamume as Alexis Desrosiers dit LaFreniere and Agathe Genevieve Bigot Dorval.
So it is my understanding that the LaFerriere line was not metis but French Canadian from the earliest settler who was Jacque Houray whose son later added the dit LaFerriere surname.

Hi Roland: It's my understanding she was native american, and from Missouri. Marie & Guillaume are my 5-6th ggrandparents.

Was Marie Josephe Laferriere a Native American?

rolandgig — 2010-05-04 16:39:39Z

My 4th great grandparents, Marie Josephe Laferriere and Guillaume Derosier dit Lafreniere, were maried 7 Feb 1774. He died 3 Apr 1829. She died 28 Jan 1789. All were at St-Genevieve-de-Berthier, Berthier, Quebec.

Guillaume Derosier dit Lafreniere is definitely of French decent as shown by vital records. A question seams to be who were Marie Josephe Laferriere's parents and what were their nationalities. Was she Metis? Does anyone have any insight on this?

Hi David,

Thanks for your help. This is one of my lines that I had not previously explored. Marcelline would be my GG-Grandmother, through her daughter, Delia Robert(s) Ledoux. I will go back to NEHGS and check the relevant records again.

Hi,

I found the family in the 1860 Census in Worcester, MA.
The father went under the name Pierre Laferriere, his wife is Magdalen, their children are Marine, Pierre, Phillip (this is Felix) and Clara.
I found the marriages of Felix and Clara. Their parents were Pierre Laferriere and Magdeline Lachance.
I did find the marriage of Dieudonne Laferriere and Magdeline Pepin dit Lachance in Ste. Elisabeth, PQ.
I found the death dates of Magdeline Laferriere (Lachance) in 1908 Worcester, MA, her husband was Dieudonne.
Also the death of Felix, his parents were Pierre D. Laferriere and Madgeline Lachance.

I'm sure that your Daniel is Dieudonne, is also Pierre Laferriere.

Marcelline Laferriere - Canada to Massachusetts

MemereDee — 2010-01-26 05:12:09Z

Looking for birth place/parents of Marcelline Laferriere, born in Canada abt. 1855. She married Damien Robert in Webster, MA on Sept 7, 1873. She is listed in the marriage record as Marceline Leffer, parents listed as Daniel & Magdel.

Would like to determine if Dieu Donne Laferier, who died in N.Brookfield, MA on Mar 19,1900 is her father. There is a Magdel Lafierre listed as a widow, living in N. Brookfield in 1900.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the information. And thanks for the link to your website. It is great!

Henry Toussaint and Laura Laferriere were my great great grandparents. They had a daughter Laura Toussaint Blay, who in turn had my grandmother Pauline Blay LaBounty.

How is it that you're related to the Laferriere's/Toussaints? Dorothy Eugenia (Jennie) Toussaint was my g-grandmother. She was the daughter of Henry Thare (Tarry) Toussaint and Laura Laferriere. I am also in touch with a granddaughter of Jennie's sister, Laura Toussaint.

Re: laferriere/toussaint

wolfbill1965 — 2009-07-12 23:40:33Z

I've gotten a little further back than clair hebert and as far as we can tell, the issue of there being any blackfoot or abenacki bloodlines is doubtful. We are drawing the conclusion that there was a misinterpretation somewhere along the lines. In earlier times, many French travelled about the area by foot, trading in different villages. Because of the areas swamps and the black mud in them, these French traders often arrived at their destinations with their shoes and often their feet, stained black from the mud. The term of the are used to describe these folks was Blackfoot French. At any rate, I do have a family tree posted here on ancestry with everything we've gathered on the family. This information is also posted on my personal site at www.kalacinski.org

Re: laferriere/toussaint

paulaprice130 — 2009-07-12 18:27:53Z

I noticed this was posted a year ago...wondering if you had found out anything about Clair Hebert and her Blackfoot/Abenaki roots?

Henry Toussaint and Laura Laferriere were my great great grandparents. They had a daughter Laura, who in turn had my grandmother Pauline.

I always heard rumors when I was a kid about a possible native connection...but never could figure out which family member it was supposed to be. I'd love to hear from you!

Re: Joseph LaFerriere in Lowell MA Response

AdrienneBennett51 — 2009-07-09 17:10:55Z

marie Louise Aurez dit LaFerriere was child of Marie Louise Genereux and Amable LaFerriere. They also had another child Mathilde Aurez dit LaFerriere married to Narcisse Tellier. their other child was also Amable Aurez dit LaFerriere married to Malvina Desrosiers dit LaFreniere. Marie Aurelie Aurez dit LaFerriere is the daughter of Pierre aurez dit LaFerriere and Josepthe Baret. My grandfather lived in Lowell Mass to work in the factories there. He was the nephew of Amable LaFerriere. There probably is a reason he came there to work because he knew someone. I found his name in a census but they had him at a boarding house. There are so many Joseph's in the LaFerriere line so if you know any middle names that would be of help. (Most French Canadians used Joseph as a first name.)I know I have seen the name Jubinville connected with my family but at the moment I cannot find it. Tell me more if you can. thanks Adrienne

Sue,
I came across this site and saw the name Charles Laferrier and became quite interested in your request

My name is George Ladeau and I reside in Chicopee,Ma.
My great aunt Elvina Ladoo married Charle Leferrier around 1880. I believe it was in New Hampshire.Elvina was born in 1855 in Vermont and I believe Charles was born around the same time. However I have not been able to verift the above with official documentation. I have verified that they lived in Lemonster up until their death. Elvina was still alive in 1930 and Charles was deceased. There was a Henry in the family, also a Julia and Emily. If this is the same Charles Laferrier then I can tell you that the parents of Elvina were Joseph Ladoo (Ledoux and Edesse Lamarche) You can contact me at 413 536 2508 or by email

Thank you so much for your help... I had information on Celestin & Edesse's marriage from StFX Church, but it wasn't clear what her parents names were... I would be interested to connect with you, as we must be related in some way if you are a Limoge. I am descended from Edesse's son Arthur.

Hello,
Edesse born May 3 1859 in St-Isidore QC was the d of Henri Honore' Laferriere and Domitil Domitile Blanchard.
He died in Apr 30 1912 in VT.
You may look in St Albans Vital Records, his death certificate should give more info. (and church records)
You may also look into the US Census records for 1910,1900 and before to find other details about date of immigration, names of children etc...

Have the names of all the children and g-children of Celestin & Edesse, let me know if I can help.
good luck,

Re: Joseph LaFerriere in Lowell MA Response

dgfim22 — 2006-11-24 01:01:39Z

Brian,

At this point, I don't know what to tell you. I need to get to a genealogy society as well as an archival center that has the records I need to figure all this out, but unfortuantely, I don't have the time to do either right now, nor is anyone paying me to research this family. At present, I have a full plate here, so it will be a long while until I return to this family. If Norbert & Julie's marriage is not in Canada (and I have not found it there!) then it must be in the US (Cohoes, Lowell, I don't know, I haven't been able to research either place). If the kids were all born in Canada, they must have married here in the US and went back to have the kids, then returned here to live....a very common practice for immigrants in that era from Canada. They went home more often than we can believe.

At this point too, I would like to see all the documentation regarding this family to straighten it all out, as the duplication of names is making it quite confusing to keep track of everyone, as well as everyone here on these boards searching for the same people, I don't know who's descended from whom any more. Will get back to you when I compile more facts to satisfy my own curiosity and make sense of all this. Dennis

predeceased by her first husband, Leon Laferriere, who died in 1949 and by her second husband, Joseph Raymond who died in 1967. Eva was a communicant of St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church. She is survived by 7 sons: Lionel, Roy, James, and Joel Lafferiere, all of Dexter; Reginald and Orel, both of Lansing, Michigan, and Patrick of Eagle Lake; 2 daughters, Juliette Stathoplos of Wells, and Annette Jackson of Titusville, Florida; one brother Lucien Paradis of Fort Kent and one sister, Pauline Belanger of Fort Kent; 9 step-children; 42 grandchildren; many great grandchildren.

Hi Judy,

While I can't really help you with your search, I am hoping you can help out with my own.

I am trying to find information on my father's father, who we are pretty sure was Leon and Eva's son Norman Laferriere who was born in Eagle Lake Maine in 1927. I know Norman was married to a Frances in Eagle Lake, and that he died in 1991 in Maine, and that both siblings (Lucien and Lionel) are also deceased. I have Lionel's obituary but can find no information at all about Norman. Do you know where he lived in Maine or how I would go about finding more information on him?

Re: Joseph LaFerriere in Lowell MA Response

rickr53 — 2006-07-29 01:48:42Z

My Great Grandmother was Eugenie Laferriere married to Hildege Hervieux, daughter of Norbert Laferriere and Julie Jubinville, so I am also trying to trace Julie Jubinville and Norbert Laferriere back to Canada. I have a death certificate for Eugenie from Lowell, MA showing Norbert and Julie as her parents.

While I have not made any progress on the Laferriere side, I believe that Julie may be the daughter of Ambroise Jubinville and Therese St Jean dit Laperche. In looking at the LDS website, I have found entries showing that Ambroise and Therese had children Elie(b.1832), Theophile(b.1834), Marguerite (b.1836), Julie (b.6/10/1840), Marie Sara (b.1842), Sophie (b.1843),Domiltide (b.1845), and Victoria (b.1853)

As you can tell, Ambroise and Therese had a daughter Julie in 1840 which corresponds to her age in the 1880 census in Cohoes NY. They also had a daughter Victoria who is listed in almost every websight as being born in 1836, but I have a death certificate for both her and her husband Narcisse Clermont who both died in Lowell, MA in 1927. From her death certificate, Victoria's birth date should be 3/10/1853 which makes more sense. Victoria's parents are listed as Ambroise Jubinville and Therese St Jean. I also have an e-mail frome someone who researched the birth records in St Jean de Matha and found that Narcisse Clermont and Victoire Jubinville were godparents for Mathilda Laferriere, daughter of Norbert and Julie in 1869.

It sure seems likely that my GG-Grandmother Julie Jubinville is the same Julie Jubinville that is the sister of Victoria Jubinville which would make Ambroise Jubinville and Therese St Jean dit Laperche her parents, but I can't seem to make the positive link yet.....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
