Write to me at this address.

Easier to use than this Message Board.

This is just great to be able to share what I had found about that Lagacé branch and to be able to share it with another one of their descendants just like I did with Alyce and Claudette who are grandchildren of Idala, Henri's brother.

This is only the tip of the iceberg because some of Alyce's and Claudette's relatives are also enjoying all this.

And the best part is... it's all free. No phony coat of arms or coffee mugs.

Re: Lagasse descendants

mpierrela — 2012-03-21 09:36:58Z

I sent you an invitation to add you as a member on my Ancestry family tree. All my research is there with pictures.

I don't have pictures of Henri Lagacé but I have pictures of some of his brothers and relatives like Adolph Lagasse and Idala Lagasse.

Alyce who is the granddaughter of Idala had pictures of people whom she did not know. I found out who they were...

This is one article I wrote. I only write what people permit me to write on my blog.

http://steanne.wordpress.com/2010/05/24/the-whole-picture/

Alyce Lagasse had all those pictures and knew nothing about her Lagacé lineage.

Writing my blog bring people together like this article about our virtual meeting.

Hello Pierre

My grandfather Charles Henry Lagasse is from Falls River MA and I believe his father is from RI. Henry C. Lagasse RI/1892 M. Edith Mullane. Perhaps you can help me in my search for family history?
thank you

Re: Lagasse descendants

nikkilagasse — 2012-03-21 01:42:59Z

OMG.. i am already suprised!! you found 2 of the sons that died. we didnt know there names..
THe info you sent on Henry Joesph does not sound familiar but to be honest i think my AUnt only knew up to her grandparents Henry and Edith.. What other info would you need for this suprising info...
thank you so much for the info I do appreciate it...

Re: Lagasse descendants

nikkilagasse — 2012-03-21 01:39:04Z

YES ! THAT IS THEM... THANK YOU

Re: Coat of Arms

mpierrela — 2012-03-20 02:57:32Z

This was easy because most of the research I had been done before.

The Lagasse who you are talking about is not related to the same Lagacés. André Mignier is the ancestor. He came to New France in the 1660s.

I know nothing about that Henri Jean Lagasse. Sorry.

It is easier to look for our ancestors in Quebec with the parish registers that were kept by the priests. You will find some errors sometimes, but most of the time they are accurate. This is how I could link Nikki with her ancestors.

This is the article I wrote on my blog in 2009.

http://steanne.wordpress.com/2009/12/19/marcelline-david/

I have written more than 250 articles about genealogy since 2009.

Re: Coat of Arms

gracett — 2012-03-20 02:39:33Z

Pierre, you have done a great job. This is not an easy task. I have been looking for an Henri Jean Lagasse who was born somewhere in France on May 9, 1831. I just am not sure where to look in France. He died in New Orleans. Have you come across this Henri? He was married to Matilda Dazet in France. Where? They died 20 days apart. He died 4 Dec 1909 and she dies 24 Dec 1909.

Re: Coat of Arms

mpierrela — 2012-03-20 02:13:02Z

Keep in touch?
Major step?

I am just waiting for Nikki to reply.

I have found everything except the coat-of-arms and the coffee mug.

All the pieces of the puzzle fit in with what she wrote.

Henry Charles Lagasse married Edith Mullane.
They had these children: Elmira, Henry Charles, Edith, Ursula, Ovila, Louis, Ida, Rita, Dorothy.

Henry Charles Lagasse is the son of Henri Lagassé who was born 20 November 1854. I have an image of his birth certificate. He is the son of Pierre Lagacé and Marcelline David.

Pierre Lagacé was the brother of Stanislas Lagacé, my great-great-grandfather who is the godfather of Henri!

Need I say more?

I had also found all of Henry Charles Lagasse's brothers and sisters.

How about some pictures of them?

I have been working on those two branches of the Lagacé family tree since 2007.

I hope I did not make a fool of myself writing this.

Re: Coat of Arms

gracett — 2012-03-20 01:39:45Z

I am so glad that you guys have found some common links.
This is major step for Nikki. Keep in touch, Grace

Re: Coat of Arms

mpierrela — 2012-03-20 00:46:53Z

Hi again,

I think I found her ancestors. Nikki is probably related to me by Antoine Lagacé who is the father of Stanislas (1816) and Pierre (1825) Lagacé. Pierre married Marcelline David. I know everything about that branch even more than my own if this is possible. Henry would be the son of Pierre. Henry married Celanire (Elmira) Alexandre. I am just waiting for more input from Nikki.

Re: Coat of Arms

mpierrela — 2012-03-20 00:42:21Z

Hi,

This is Pierre.
Right on!
People are out there for your money.
There are no coat of arms for the Lagasse and no coffee mug for that matter.

Cheers!

Re: Lagasse descendants

mpierrela — 2012-03-20 00:38:46Z

I think I have found the parents of Henry Charles Lagasse.
I just want to be sure with some other information you might have. Any information can validate what I think I have found.
If so... You are in for a big surprise! No famous people, just ancestors.

I found this family in the 1920 U.S. Census. It should be them.

1920

parent Henry C Lagasse M 30y

parent Edith Lagasse F 25y

Elmira E Lagasse F 7y

Henry C Lagasse M 6y

Edith D Lagasse F 4y

Ersler M Lagasse F 3y

Obolia W Lagasse M 1y

Lewis A Lagasse M 2m

Probably they got married around 1912.

Re: Lagasse descendants

mpierrela — 2012-03-18 10:12:29Z

Hi Nicole,

The given name Charles and Henry are not common with my branch of Lagacé, but I can help.
I am sure we are distant relatives since all the Lagacés are descendants of André Mignier dit La Gâchette.
Most probably the branch is with Charles Mignier dit Lagacé.
I can invite you on my Ancestry site as a member if you want and then go from there with you search.

Re: Coat of Arms

nikkilagasse — 2012-03-18 03:24:27Z

So far I only have the more recent family info. They seem to be a pretty tight lipped family and I wasnt very close to that side of the family. My Great Grandfather is Henry C. Lagasse of RI b. 1892 married Edith Mullane I know all there 10 childrens names. thats pretty much it.

thank you for your help Melissa.

Re: Lagasse descendants

nikkilagasse — 2012-03-18 02:44:01Z

My grandfather was also born in Falls RIver MA.. Where you able to obtain any info on your family line?

Re: Coat of Arms

honeybee61075 — 2012-03-15 08:14:19Z

Hi Nicole,

The only Charles Lagasse I have in my family tree is a 2nd great-grand uncle. He was the son of Basile LAGACÉ and Élisabeth BIBEAU (my 3rd g-grandparents). My Charles Lagasse was born in 1855, though, so he wouldn't be your grandfather. You are right that the Lagasse line is French-Canadian. Many of my Lagasse ancestors lived in Haverhill, MA. If you provide me with more information (names, dates, etc.), I'd be happy to help you. Who knows- we could very well be related.

~Melissa

Re: Coat of Arms

nikkilagasse — 2012-03-11 02:39:01Z

you have MORE info on the Quebec Lagasse line?
I know my grandfather Charles Henry Lagasse's was from Falls River.. they say he was Candian french.. He had MANY brothers and sisters I dont know all there names. How much information do you have?

thank you
Nicole

From The Heraldry Society
http://www.theheraldrysociety.com/ukgrantsofarms.htm

"How can a company know my coat of arms simply from my last name?
They can't. Any company which purports to supply you with a 'coat of arms for your surname' is misleading you. Coats of arms do not belong to surnames. They belong to individuals, and are either granted to a particular person, or inherited by descent from someone to whom arms have been granted in the past.

Re: lobsinger name Geoge Lobsinger

Kelly50270 — 2011-08-03 22:47:01Z

@ Jan
I realize this reply is several years late but your mention of George's parents got my attention. I have a George Lobsinger, b. 27 Aug 1862, Ontario, Canada to Anthony JACOB lobsinger and AGNES (Weiler) Lobsinger. George's siblings are:
Louise (Aloysia) b. 1860;
Joseph Anthony, b. 1861,
Jacob, b. 1864;
Maria Anna (Mary) b. 1865,
Magdelena b. 1870;
Caroline/Carolina, b. 1872;
Joseph (elder brother with same name died) b. 1874; Frank/Franz Anthony, b. 1875;
Anna, b. 1878.

I am doing quite a bit of research on this entire Lobsinger family line. Contact me and we will exchange information.

Hi Debra,

Yes, that did help and did confirm some of what I have. Cheryl & I Email regularly & she and Dan gave me quite a bit of genealogy. Just today, a Lagace in Quebec gave me the true pod and dod on Edward N. Legacie who died in MInnesota. He was listed as Edward Segacie rather then Legacie. At any rate, thanks a million, Mac McDonald, O.R.G.- Yosemite

Re: LAGASSE, Zephir- around 1825 Quebec

jaredschlenker_1 — 2010-10-25 02:49:37Z

Zepher Legacie is my great-great-great grandfather. He married Maude La Fontain and one of their children was Edward, born in 1850. Edward married Annie McDonald in October of 1874 in lle De Montreal, Quebec. One of their children was James Matthew Legacie, born on April 14, 1880. He married Josephine Taunt on November 29, 1906 in Abord A Plouffe.They moved to the Lawton, North Dakota area and had several children, one being my grandfather - Herbert Legacie. He was known as "Hub." He married my grandmother - Borghild Olivia Olson, on Christmas day in 1939. They had a dairy farm near Lawton. They had three children. My uncle Donald, who is a retired Minister and lives in Sparks, Nevada. He has three daughters- the youngest would be about 36. My aunt Diana Paulson lives in Jamestown, North Dakota. She has one son, Eric Diseth, who is about 43 and lives in Montana. My mother, Bonnie (Legacie)Kuchar had 4 children -Donald Edward, Jodi Marie, Lisa Ann, and me- Debra Kaye. Hub on March 22 of 1955 after battling cancer. My mother passed away in August of 2004. Borghild died in 2005. Hope some of this helped.
