Family, More details

Thank you cousin Lionel (Lauzon) for providing more and more detail about our families.

The details in Lionel's email provided an outline of the family tree, with focus on the Alexander and Donald Grant limbs at this time. Jamie and David MacCulloch's research on the full tree was demonstrated at last year's family reunion. That was a lot of work and a lot of detail. We are a very big family as I am discovering.

Below is Lionel's email, with a few additions by me. We will happily correct errors or omissions.

Hello April:

I have been questioning Meme for information about the family history.

As you know our Great Grandparents Alexander (Sandy) Grant and Isabelle (Bella) MacDonald moved to Alexandria with their seven (7) children:

1. James
2. Elizabeth (Lizzie)
3. Margaret
4. Annie
5. Donald
6. Alexander (Alex), and
7. Angus (Dooley)

Your Grandfather, Alexander (Alex) moved to Montreal circa 1916 and lived at 1402 St. Antoine St. near Lucien St. with his wife Lillian (Lilly). They had four (4) children:

1. Isabel (Isabella?, Florence Isabel)
2. Peter
3. Raymond, and
4. William

Peter married Yvette Dufore and had two (2) boys and two (2) girls:

1. Michel
2. Diane
3. Susanne, and
4. Pierre

Raymond married Norma Brault and had three (3) girls:

1. Gail

2. Carolyn, and

3. Sandra.

William married and divorced, no children.

Isabel married Colbourne MacDonell and had two (2) boys and two (2) girls:

1. Betty Lee
2. George
3. Robert and
4. April Ann

Donald moved to Montreal with his wife Josephine St. Jaques and their family and lived a few houses over at 1538 St. Antoine St. They had seven (7) children:

1. Sybil 

2. Francis 
3. Lawrence 
4. Sally

5. Archie 
6. Reynalda (Rae), and
7. Lorraine 

At some point in time Alexander (Sandy) and Isabella (Bella) Grant took a trip to Montreal to buy some tools and visit the family. They were staying at Donald’s house when Sandy took sick and died. Bella was blind and stayed with Donald and his family.  

I hope you find some of this interesting.
