Updated September 5, 2000| Carol Louise Brow 5616 E. Duck Lake Rd. Lake Leelanau,MI 49653 616 256-9707 | Carol Louise BROW here researching my ancestors. So far I have discerned, with lots of help, that the firstperson on my father's paternal side was Vincent BRAULT whocame to Port Royal Acadia in about 1650. He married MarieBOURG who was born at Port Royal. Their son Pierre and and hisfamily were exiled by the British to the Boston area in 1755. After nine years the family was allowed to leave Massachusetts and invited to settle in Quebec. The family lived at Laprairie, Quebec for generations. My great grandfather Ambrose BROW and his wife Philomene MARTIN emmigrated to Malone, NY where several of their children were born. About 1859 they packed up and moved to Leelanau County, Michigan.That's in the little finger of Michigan. I am concentrating on finding all about their descendents for a book that is in the works for the BREAUX, BRAULT, BROWreunion to be held in August of 1999 in conjunction with theAcadian Reunion called the Congres Mondial Acadien-Louisiane1999. If you are a descendent of Vincent BRAULT and Marie BOURG please let me know and I'll put you in touch with the principal authors. >..........>>>..........>>>..........>>>..........>>>.......... My mother's grandparents were Jacob KNOBLAUCH and AugustaSEELHOFF. Augusta was born in Prussia in 1850. They lived in Hesson,Ontario until they came to the the United States and finally settled at Henderson near Owosso. Their son Ernest is my grandfather. He married Caroline MITTLEHOLTZ in Hesson. I know Caroline's lineage back to the 1700,s in Germany. I'mstill in the dark about the origin of Jacob KNOBLAUCH. Carol |
