Hello everyone,
I am new to the list and this is my first post.
Henri CHAMPAGNE b Dec 1841 and Helene L (Ellen) Richie?/Richey?/Bisher?
b Aug 1854 married about 1873; both born in Quebec. City? Don't know.
Came to US 1880, showed in Haverhill city directory in 1883, along with
Eugene CHAMPAGNE. Don't know who he is. Children of Henri and Helene:
Marie Louisa b July 8, 1875 St. Ann Canada
Louis b Jan 1877 Canada
Eugenie b Aug 1878 in St John Canada
Clara bn Aug 1879 Canada
Albina b Aug 1880 in Canada
The rest were born in Haverhill, MA
Clementine b Sept 1882; Marion b July 1885; Theresa b July 1889; Beatrice b
Nov 1891; Ernest b Nov 1894; Alice b Dec 21, 1896
Helene died Feb 9, 1916 in Lynn, MA. (They moved there about 1906 or so)
Obit states she was the mother of 17 children. Family history says she also
had 3 sets of twins.
Mystery: Albina born Aug 1880 in Canada, family came to US in 1880, infant
Albina left behind , did not come to Haverhill untill 1882. This according
to 1900 MA census. Also states in 1900 census had 14 children and 12 living.
Don't know exact when and where Henri and Helene married, don't know all
names of the children, don't know exact birthplaces of children in Canada.
This is what I know so far, still searching. Thank you Barbara
