In answer to question :
I just got back from attending the 2012 Douglastown Irish Week and had a great time. It was my privilege to give a presentation on the Crotty family of the Gaspé area and to met new cousins. Before I left, I donated a Grady - Crotty - Langlois family notebook compiled and written by a team of Crotty cousins to the Musée de Gaspésie for all Crotty relatives to enjoy for years to come. I am actively looking for Crotty family photographs, especially of Mille Crotty who married Oliver Morris in St. Patrick's Church in Douglastown. Mary Pomella {Emilie, Emelie, Amelia, Emily, Millie, Mika, Milia, Pomelia, Pamela} Crotty was born 23 December 1868, baptized as Emilie on 3 January 1869 in Barachois, St. Pierre de la Malbaie, Québec, died 14 February 1938 at 69 years old, and was buried 16 February 1938 in St. Patrick, Douglastown, Gaspé, Québec. She married Oliver Morris, son of Thomas Morris and Mary Jane Rail {Rehel} on 26 September 1890 in St. Patrick. Oliver was born 13 June 1843 in St. Patrick, died 28 November 1911 at 69 years old, and was buried 1 December 1911 in St. Patrick. Oliver and Emelie had 9 children. With his first wife, Marie Ann Jane Briand, Oliver had 8 children. Marie Ann Jane Briand had five children with her first husband. Therefore, Oliver Morris was responsible for bringing up 22 children with his blended families. Also, I have never found any Crotty tombstones in the Gaspé area. Does anyone know of any? If so, I would love to see a .jpg photograph and learn how we are related.
