URL:http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/i/p/Michele-J-Dipert/index.html My family
includes Howell's, DuMars, LaBlance's, LeBlanc's, Vincent's, Vrooman's, Davenport's,
Belonga's, Belanger's, Wachter's, Frazier's, and much much more! The only constant factor
is they came from Canada or Northern New York and settled in Michigan in the 1800's. My
family is French, Welsh, Chippewa Indian and other European lines.
Searching for other researchers that are working on these
surnames to exchange information and help each other. I am particularly looking for the
LEVEQUE Family from Canada whose famiy settled in Mackinac County in the early 1800's.
Some given names for this family are: John Bte II, Issac, Paul, Mary L, and there are
others, 10 known children whose names I do not have yet. Per the 1860 Census for
Michilimakinac Co., St. Ignace Twp.,... Mary Lavake b. abt.1821-4 Canada married Louis
LaJoice in Mackinac county on March 18, 1837. Louis was born in Canada abt. 1808. She is
part of the LEVEQUE Family above from Canada. According to this census they had 5 children
in Canada and 5 children after coming to Mackinac County. I have Mary Lavake/Leveque's
death cert(died June 1905 in St. Ignace) which states her parents are Paul Lavake/Leveque
and Mary Bishop but nothing else. For the surname PLANKEY, I am looking for the parents of
Rufus Plankey b. Sept 16, 1875 Canada, Immigrated 1890, married in St. Ignace to Agnes
Lajoice. Rufus' father name is Frank or Francis. They reportedly stayed with the Beckers
upon coming to MI. I am also interested in further info on Angeline Robinson b. 1841 in
Mackinac Co.(1870 #59-14) and her father Francis Robinson b. 1797 in Canada. Francis
married Josette Jacob Chebayabos in Mackinac county on Sept 11, 1826. I am searching for
the Indian family of LOUIS/LEWIS from Mackinac County. Charles Louis b. 1863 (DR #3453)
married Marie Louisa Smith Way-we-gon-nay-be (DR # 3454). Both Mackinaw Band. Other

Hello; My Great great great grandfather was James Gruet. He
was a fur-trading partner of Gruet & LaFramboise in the Michilimacinac region from
about 1769 until about 1812. James and his family were French-Canadian and Indian. His
sons worked as Guides and Interpreters. James and his family were Canadian citizens at the
time and were transported from Mackinac Island to Drummond Island after the War of 1812.
In 1828 they were transported from Drummond Island to Penetanguishene, Ontario. For a
short period about 1780, James functioned as Notary in the Mackinac area. I would
appreciate any information or suggestions on areas to search regarding James Gruet and his
wife, Julia Francoise,his sons James, William and Peter and his daughters Julia Francoise
and Sophia. Thank you.

I am researching these families. Louis St Onge I believe lived
on Mackinaw Island, Macinac County as did Catherine Peltier whom he married. Isaac LaVake
and Antoine Paquin from St. Iganace, Mackinac County.
Mackinac County was where Peter McKinley went after the
Mormons drove him from Beaver Island about 1851 and where his wife, Ellen Vosburgh
McKinley is buried. He is known to have taught there before returning to Beaver Island,
then served in the MI legislature. Any data appreciated, esp. details of his death about
1869.
Mary McCoy emigrated from Ireland to Mackinac Island with her
parents in abt.1840. Her death certificate lists her father as John McCoy. She married
Jeremiah Williams in Moran Township, Mackinac County in 1853. Any information on Mary's
ancestors would be appreciated. I can share information on Jeremiah Williams..
Does anyone know anything about an Appleford family that may
have lived in Mackinaw County? My husband's great-grandmother was Mariah Appleford b. 1840
d. 1916 Mayville, MI. m 2. John Kern ca1875 supposedly in the UP, perhaps in Chippewa
County. Her first marriage was to a Mr. Watson. We found an Appleford Road on a county map
while we visited the area last summer. Local people told us there was, at one time, an
Appleford lumber mill on Brevort Lake. Mariah's father was William Appleford but do not
know his wife's name. Any info would be appreciated..
I am searching for Frank Latour, who married Sarah Belle
Gallagher. Frank has born in either St Joseph Island or Garden River. He died in 1930 in
St. Ignace, and Sarah Belle Gallagher died in 1965 in St. Ignace also. We have no other
dates on them or their parents or the names of parents. Any and all information would be
very helpful. Thank you
