Diane: I have long wanted to share these charts in hopes that it would help others and me as well. I did not have luck with Julia’s last name in the St. Alphonsus Church records. I found a Julia LaCour in the area and wondered about her. That looks close to your Lecure name. I find it spelled Tibeau in the census. It has been a long time since I looked at the siblings of Archie. So you think that Mary Jane was their daughter? I don’t see a Mary Jane on the chart for John? That is okay, I feel this chart is a lot of guesses on Nellie’s part who was my great aunt. She did her best. Yes there is always more research to do. I am hoping to travel there next year.

I was very intrigued to come across this site. My great-grandmother was Mary-Jane McDonald, oldest child of John (brother of Archibald, according to Nellie’s chart) & Julia McDonald. Although her brothers & sisters made Nellie’s chart but she didn’t. I also have different last names for Julia. She sometimes has the last name Record (Ricard) or Lecure (Lecare) but I have not found Tebeau. I no information on John’s family so was thrilled to see the information posted. I have never been able to find John & Julia’s marriage. I certainly have more areas to research.
