In answer to question :
Hi, I have been trying to find information regarding my Grandparents who originated from Gaspe. Both of my Grandparents, Joseph Norbert Leclerc(blacksmith) & Elise Marie Babin both passed away from the flu influenza I believe in 1918. They left behind 11 children, one of who was my father, and he was placed in an orphanage. I have 10 dates for their childrens births, 9 registerd with the parish of St. Charles de Caplan and 1 in the "Registres de New Richmond". My father was a single parent when he passed away in 1970, I was 18 at the time, my siblings younger. My father spoke so lovingly of his home, Gaspe, to us when we were young. It is with much regret that I don't speak french, but have always been very proud of my "French Canadian" heritage. I don't know where else to turn in finding any information on my Grandparents. I believe they would have been born around 1870 and died in 1918. I was hoping someone could possibly help me find out their birth, marriage, or where they were layed to rest. It is like a piece of the jigsaw puzzle is missing and try as we may we just can't complete the picture. Once again the names are Joseph Norbert Leclerc and Elise Marie Babin. I want to "Thank You" for reading this and look forward to anyone who can help me. Donna Leclerc Sorensen British Columbia
