I am looking for Messier/Cloutier lines. Joseph Messier was a voyager and lived on Drummond Island. Marie Cloutier (she had many aliases Monquota, Lapon, Makote, St. Germain. Etc.) leaving researchers to think Joseph Messier had many wives. But this couple moved in 1828 when Drummond Island was transferred to the US. They moved to Tiny Ontario (near LaFontain/Tay/Penetangushene). I have records from St. Anne’s (Penetangushene) but they had no marriage info or parents names. The children’s names are Joseph who married Margarette Cote, Victor who married Angelique LaCroix, Charles Leon (my line) married Henrietta Charlebois, Louise who married Gonzoge Cote. There were more children ...
I know there were large groups of Drummond Islanders who married on the same day. One explanation was the Church would not condone them living together until they were married by the church. A priest, Fr. McDougle/McDonald officiated over the group weddings. Joseph and Marie, on their census always said 1829.
Another Cloutier woman, Rosalie married Jacques Adam Laremee. I believe our Marie was related to her because she named a daughter after her?
If anyone can help me with this line I will be forever grateful.
Here is him listed in a list of voyagers to Drummond Island: "Messier, Joseph, of lot 15, con. 16, and Lot 17, con 15, Tiny. His father was born in St. Francis, Quebec, and went up with the North-West Company. He was closely connected with the Deschenaux family. He built the second house in Lafontaine. His ancestors, Joseph and Michael Messier, of Saint Michael, took the oath in 1772. Descendants are still living in Tiny, and a grandson, Joseph Messier, lives at Victoria Harbor.:

Hi Jeanne, Were you able to find out what you were looking for? I do most of my research in Pennetanguishene/ Drummond Island? Tiny/ Tay, etc... that is where my mother is from. I have a few publications that I can use to help you if need be. Feel free to message me and I will gladly do what I can to help. Chances are good if your family is from there, we are probably related somehow :)
Hi - i live in Toronto. My gg grandmother (or ggg grandmother) was Dutch. She and her husband (Gildiner) emigrated to Poland. Can anybody (Hans?) help me find anything out about her? Also, my husband was born and adopted in Nanaimo, BC. How could he find out about his birth parents or half siblings, etc? Finally, what is the best genetic testing to use? Thanks!

I can try but you have to give me more info. Could not find any Gildiner in the Netherlands.
What was your grandmothers maiden name? Or names of her parents.
We use FamilytreeDNA because you can make the results show up in Geni.
There is an organization on facebook that can help with finding birth parents etc
