Hi. My grandmother was Antoinette Champagne, born Legal Alberta 1906; her mother was Leah,
and father Narcisse. There were 13 children, some born in Aloberta, and some on the way
from Quebec. I think this is the same family you speak of. Most of the nnames you mention
are/were her siblings. I knew Clara well, and also met Germaine and Laura. Flora, Marie,
Rose, Burick, Sibiol, Joe, Ed and others I hear my mother talk about. My mother is Thora
Rose Van Damme (ne Van Schaik, her mother is teh Antoinette I talk about) Mom is 81 past,
but would be able to tell you lots about this. She doesnt do internet, but if you email
me, I can put you in touch. colinr(a)ironmanpipe.com
Narcisse Champagne also had another family in Manitoba, htat is not to be talked about. I
think he was a trapper, bush man of sorts, with a home at either end of the trap line.
