As you can see below, I posted earlier in the year about my great-great-great-grandparents. I did not know their names, but hoped longingly that I could find them. Well, I have finally found them. Their names are Maxime Cadorette and Séraphine Bernier.
I had contacted St. Joseph's church in North Grosvenor Dale, Connecticut to see if they could locate the marriage record between George Cadorette and Alma Laurion, as wedding certificates show the names of parents. The very nice secretary called back and gave me the names and said she would send paper copies to me soon. I was thrilled and began my research for my Native American ancestors.
Unfortunately, when researching their family side, I see people born in France, which indicates that they were not full blooded Native Americans. But, they must be at least some Native American, I mean just look at them. They look it to me!
By just going off my memory, Maxime and Séraphine had about 6 children. I know one was named Maxime and lived in New Bedford, Massachusetts along with George, his brother. Maxime was a real estate agent and worked in architecture also. Maxime (the elder) and Séraphine had stayed in Canada all their lives.
They will no longer be identified at the unknown Cadorettes, but now can be respectively named. Maxime and Séraphine I'm very happy I found your names and very thankful for you and this lovely picture I have of you. You looked very nice and loving, I would have loved to meet you and wish next I may be able to find your graves somewhere in Canada.
They still hang on my wall, where they will hang with the rest of my ancestors for many years to come.
I'll be back soon to post more. If you ever find any relation in my blog, feel free e-mailing me at bullfrog1995@yahoo.com
