I spent quite a bit of time, both yesterday and today, searching
Ancestry.com & IGI
records online, and in my research database here for these Chamberlands. Here's what
I've found, for your benefit, and for the benefit of other readers. Ronald
Jalbert's reference to Chamberland - Clement data in the "Jalbert s of North
America" GenCircles site contains a bit of this information, but not all of it. It
does, however, contain information on about 50 Chamberlands in various generations, mostly
in Quebec, which I found of considerable interest and value. I appreciate his informing
everyone of this important Jalbert Family site.
As you probably already know, Victor Louis(10) Chamberland [Henry(9), Henri(8),
Henri(7), Joseph(6), Joseph Marie(5), Simon(4), Simon(3), Simon(2), Rene(1)], was born 14
Feb 1885, Alfred, Ontario, Canada, d. 22 Oct 1918, Legal, Alberta, Canada. He was the 2nd
of 8 known children of Henri & Emelie (Clement) Chamberland, who also died there in
Legal, Alberta. Victor was married, 19 Feb 1912, at Notre Dame d'Ottawa, Ottawa,
Ont., to Esther Clement, b. 1883, Bannic, Montana, d. 1987, Montreal, Quebec, daughter of
T. Clement and D. Bessette, as cited in the Jalbert record, with four children listed
(probably all at Legal, Alberta - birth dates known for only one of them, as listed
below). Esther was remarried, 29 Dec 1921, at Legal, Alberta, Canada, to Avitus Jalbert,
b. 1890, St. Felix de Kingsey, Drummond, Quebec, died Leominster, Worcester Co., MA, son
of Severe & Marie (Proulx) Jalbert. An LDS Pedigree Resource File lists them, without
any dates, data submitted by !
Michelle Tichauer Fanwick, 270 Westport Rd., Wilton CT 06897-4723. This should give you
another Jalbert contact you can try.. Avitus Jalbert was first married, 3 Aug 1908, at
St. Felix de Kingsey, Drummond, Quebec, to Celine "Delima" Morin, b. 1891
there, with two children listed for them: William G. Jalbert and Rodolphe Jalbert - data
for them withheld as "private" - I don't know what became of them. By
Esther's Chamberland marriage, her children were (exact order uncertain):
- Francoise Marie Chamberland, m. Maurice Perreault
- Gertrude Marie Chamberland, m. Leopold Husereau
- Henri Joseph Chamberland, m. Marie Jeanne Bridau, with children (presumably born after
1930) named Claude, Stephane, Sylvie and Marie Josee (no other data for them).
- Lauretta Marie Chamberland, b. 25 Sep 1913, Legal, Alberta, d. 29 Jun 1988, Longueuil,
Quebec, m. Jacques Rivest, with 5 Rivest children (presumably born after 1930) named
Francois, Normand, Rene, Micheline who m. Roger Beaudouin, and Benoit who married Louise
Marcil (no other data for them).
These are the persons you are evidently seeking, but I don't have any other
information to help you contact them.. I suggest you try telephone & address sites
online, including a detailed, careful search of each name using "Google",
initially, to see what you come up with (I find that Google often comes up with addresses
and other information of value). I do hope this information is helpful to you and other
readers. Please contact me via Email if you wish to discuss this information for any
reason. If eventually you are successful in tracing any of these Chamberlands, I'd
definitely like to hear back from you.
