Family tree, name list and Jean Delpe/Delpeche descendant list updated: 12 March 2002.
Other files updated: 17 October 2001. (Note the area code change on my phone number as of 15 Jan 2002 - from 219 to 574).
We are searching for U.S., French-Canadian, Irish, English and French ancestors - principal names of interest include: Bakewell, Berry, Brien-Desrochers (Derusha), Brissette, Cyr, Dolen (Daudelin), Hebert, Hynes, McCarty, Morgan, Perrizo (Dalpe dit Pariseau), Tibodeau, Tremblay, Willette.
We are presently working on a book of all the progeny of Michel Dalpe dit Perrizo and Pelagie Derusha, who came from the Montreal area to Fond du Lac (in the 1840s) and then on to Faribault County Minnesota (in the late 1860s), with associated French Canadian families. The McCarty and Morgan families were in Indiana (1812-1875), and the McCarty family then moved to Iowa.
We have added most of the families to this family tree. Additions mostly on the English side continue to be made - on September 27, 2001 - the number of people listed is about 20,000. Any information/corrections on any of these families would be greatly appreciated, and I will be happy to add further useful links to this page.
Levenet (living in 1120 AD) was an advisor (Chancellor) to the King of England, Henry I: from him descended (amongst others) the Bakewell family of Staffordshire, and thence to the 30th generation, Mireille Severine Wildman Berry, born in Paris in April 2000. Many other Bakewell descendants in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are now included.
Jean Delpue left France (Parisot, in Tarn and Garonne) for Canada as part of the Carignan regiment about 1670, and similarly, the same Mireille appeared in Paris 11 generations later.
The descents from the Cyr family (most notably, the "Cyr sisters of Wisconsin" of the 1840-50s) affect many of the Perrizo descendants, but also many of the other families of Minnesota and Wisconsin, most particularly the Willette family which descend from Ovilmer Willette and Celeste Cyr.
Some quick acknowledgements are in order (this is the work of many people): for the Levenet-Bakewell line, fifth cousin from Australia, Graeme Haigh; for the Hynes and Willette lines, Linda Willette and the late Don Willette; for the McCarty-Morgan lines, the late Eileen Yeager and Rosemary Nimtz; for the Perrizo line, principally Mitch and Scott Perrizo, and a lot of others. The more exact (original) sources for the information are being added gradually. Note that for purposes of privacy, the details are not shown of people born since the year 1900 and who are still alive (at least whose death is not recorded here). Relatives and other interested genealogists can request a "gedcom" (or other) listing with these details included.
After a gap of two months, I am back on line, adding further Fond du Lac families, thanks to contacts principally with Mel Koenig of Niles, Illinois, who has some further descents of the Hebert and Cyr and Snow families (amongst others).. Following a reunion of the Hynes families of Minnesota in mid-August, there are further updates on the Hynes-Willette-Ackerman families.
Note that thanks to Russ Prust, we have connected the Fond du Lac Willettes to their Canadian families, and thus to Rene Ouellet of Paris and his "fille du Roi" wife Anne Rivet. I have also added to the Bakewell side, from a number of further sources: most notably from the work of Graeme Haigh of Australia - the reader should be aware that there are some differences from the Bakewell-Page-Campbell book (published in 1896), due to more recent investigations. I also could not resist adding the descents involving the "bad King John" of Magna Carta fame down to my cousin "bad King Henry Longbottom".
