I'm a Chamberlain (all spellings) genealogist who attempts to review and answer
queries such as yours in
Ancestry.com, GenForum and other places. I'm not in touch
with this family, and not related to it either, but here is information from my research
files that may be helpful, by identifying the names of Raymond's siblings, parents,
etc. Raymond was born about May 1924, in Rhode Island, probably West Warwick Township,
Kent Co., one of four known children of Joseph & Clair Chamberland and grandson of
Octave & Lumina Chamberland, natives of Canada (probably Quebec). The following
census record pertains:
- 1930 Census, West Warwick Town, Phenix Village, Joseph Chamberland, p. 123A, #10
Aberdeen St., #274/393, 15 Apr 1930, head, age 35, married age 24, $25, rents, has radio,
butcher - meat merchant, CAN/CAN/CAN (all French), immigrated 1910, naturalized; Claire,
wife, age 31, married age 21, CAN/CAN/CAN (all French), immigrated 1900, naturalized;
Laurent, son, age 9, RI/CAN/CAN; Madeline, daughter, age 7, RI/CAN/CAN; Raymond, son, age
5 11/12, RI/CAN/CAN; Claire, daughter, age 4 8/12, RI/CAN/CAN
So, this identifies the family in 1930, and their place of residence at that time &
his father's occupation. Probably the family can be traced in other records there
after 1930, such as city directories, tax records, phone books and the like. Please
contact me via Email if you wish to discuss this information in greater detail and what
else can be done via Email by yourself, from Italy or anywhere, to trace the family: James
B. Parker, at jbparker(a)provide.net.
