Back to the eldest, Joseph Napoleon. In the 1910 US Census he lives with his second wife Marie Chouinard, children, in Ipswich, Mass. In 1920 census we see "Bernier Chooouinard", her father? living with his children: ? 41 years old, Albert 36, Yvonne 29, Olivina 28, Ermeline 26. Joseph`s second wife is Marie Chouinard who would have emigrated to US in 1892, naturalized in 1907 or 1917 (difficult to read). Joseph first wife was Marie Beauvais, daughter of Louis and Marguerite Talon l`Espérance, with whom he had a daughter. He would have emigrated in the 1870`s. It has been said that Joseph was 6`6¨, a strong man who loved boxing.
We have been trying to get more information on Cyrille Phaneuf and Bibiane Ouimet for more than 4 years now. In Joseph marriage record it shows Cyrille and Bibiane as parents. Can someone help us unblock this brick wall?
