Bonjour Richard,
That is almost the extent of my French! Regrettably, I have lost it
over the years, even though French was my first language at home.
I do not know if I am part of the Beaugrand dit Champagne branch. Let
me share what I do know.
My father was Julien Champagne b. May 25, 1907 in St Mathieu d. Jan. 3,
1971 in Florida.
His father was Alfred, b. 8/8/1874 in Manchester, NH My father said he
died in 1916 in Montreal. He married Amanda Lepine 1/10/1894 in St.
Mathieu.
Alfred's father was Antoine, b. in 1821, if the 1881 census is correct.
I am suspicious since he would have been 53 years old when Alfred was
born. Alfred married Marie Cloutier 5/15/1872, in Manchester, NH. The
1881 Canadian census has the family living in St. Mathieu. Again, if
the census is correct, Marie would have been 40 years old when Alfred
was born!
That is all I have. Thanks so much for your help.

Salut Léo:
Your great grandfather was married to who? And are you part of the
Beaugrand dit Champagne branch.
I have a large data base on the Champagnes. Let me try and research
this.

I am interested in exploring my family tree. I have gone back as far
as
my great-grandfather, Antoine Champagne. He was listed in the
Canadian
census of 1881 in St. Maurice County, Quebec. From that census, I
have
that he was born in 1821 but that is it. I have no idea when he died
or
who his father and mother were.
Is anyone on this list related to me? Does anyone have info on my
great-grandfather?
Thanks.
Leo Champagne
