Albert Dunn(name from obits) of Detroit

Joseph Dunn(name from obits) of Windsor or Detroit

Mabel Dunn(name from obits) m. George Shaw-lived in Florida

Have information on most of Peter and Helene's children. Just wondered where Helene was buried. Stories from the family give the impression that the children were orphans. Peter died in June 1911 so they were very young. I get the impression from my friend that Helene died prior to 1923, and I don't believe she ever remarried. She also moved to Windsor after Peter's death. Many of her family are buried at St. Anne's Tecumseh Ontario, and she could be there as well but there is no marker. Thanks for any help. JM.

couchois family

valtyson — 2010-04-01 01:43:18Z

edmond (edward) couchois Jr born on mackinaw Island about 1877 to Edmond(edward) couchois and Catherine E. Moreau (or Monreau). he married Margaret "Maggie" Maccoleman in Alpena, Mich on 7-2-1904. their marriage application was from alcona county, Michigan. They had five children: latina(or latona) born 1904, beaumont (Bud) born 11-20-1906, corresta M. born 1-1-1908, katherine born 10-28-1909 and orval james (Jimmie).
The family (except jimmie) are on the 1910 mackinaw Island census. By the 1920 census the children are divided among four family members. Maggie remarries William Willison on 9-16-1914. She dies in1915 at the age of 34 and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetary in south Branch Michigan.
Edward may have remarried as there is a Edward Couchois, 41, married to May, age 36 with a 2 1/2 year old living in Reading, Berks County , Pa in 1920. He is listed as born i n Michigan and working as a mate on a steamship.
I am related on the Maccoleman side and live in Michigan.

I would like info on Latina. In 1920 she lived with her grandparents in Lansing, Mich and is still listed as Latona Couchois in the 1930 Detroit census. I know that she married but I don't know her married name.

My maiden name is also Cushway. My father was William Joseph Cushway born in Bethnal Green 1908-1999. I've traced his family back to a James Cushway, who apparently changed his name from Jacques Cochois when he came over from Normandy, France in early 1700s. He was born in 1712 and was a weaver, like the rest of the family till the mid 1800s. I'm looking for more information regarding his move from France and his name change.

Bonjour de France,

J'ai trouvé votre email sur le site "Ancestry.com" par hasard. Je fais des recherches sur les descendants de Jacques Co(au)chois, compagnon de Cavelier de la Salle vers 1700.
Suite à ces recherches j'ai découvert un Jean-Baptiste Cauchois né en 1700 qui a eu 6 enfant dont un Jean-Baptiste qui a vécu à Mackinac vers 1776. Est-ce que cela vous intéresse ?

Frank,

I would be interested in any information you may have on the Vandelinder part of your family tree. Clothide married Thomas Vandelinder who was the brother of Albert Vandelinder. I am trying to locate information on Albert's wife Mary Elizabeth O'Keefe.

Bonjour,
Je suis en train de rechercher sur le web tout ce qui concerne le nom de ma famille et je suis "tombé" sur votre message.

Je ne sais pas encore beaucoup de choses sur mon arbre généalogique, mais étant très attiré par l'histoire de la "Nouvelle France" et par Cavelier de la Salle en particulier, j'ai découvert qu'un Jacques Cochois ( ou Cauchois) faisait partie de son groupe d'exploration du Mississippi....

Le nom Cauchois n'est pas rare mais pas excessivement répandu en France et encore moins Cochois; nous sommes peut-être cousins très très très éloignés ou peut-être n'avons-nous aucun lien de parenté; peu importe car ce qui me plaît c'est chercher et découvrir de nouvelles choses...

Bonjour de Normandie,
