Hello. My mother was HERMINE LAMIRANDE, and was French. She was born about 1886 in ? and
died 30 Nov 1972 in St.Paul, Minnesota. She was adopted in 1888, ( might not be a legal
adoption), by THOMAS CHAMPAGNE b 4 Jan 1863 Ft. Stehle, Hudson, Wisc, parents unknown, and
ADELE-ADELAIDE GERMAIN, b 26 Oct 1846 Deschambault, P.Q. Canada, d March 1924. ADELE was
the daughter of ZEPHIRIM and JOSEPHINE MORIN. Adele later married PRUDENT LAMIRANDE at 52
years.
HERMINE married CHARLES MORISSETTE 12 Jan 1909, St. Anne, Somerset, Wisconsin. CHARLES was
the son of FRANCOIS-SERAPHIN and ANNA RIVARD and went on to have 10 children.
I do not know the real parents of HERMINE LAMIRANDE who was raised in Somerset, WI. Family
lore says she was found on the side of the road. In another story, she was seen many times
by THOMAS CHAMPAGNE sitting on the steps of an orphanage in Somerset, so he brought her
home. I would really like to learn for me and my children who were the parents of my
mother, HERMINE LAMIRANDE. Does any one out there know any thing about these people? Thank
You.
Sincerely,
Vernice MORISSETTE-KROGSTED
