PAT LAFAYETTE 10529 GROH ROAD GROSSE ILE, MI 48138 Patricia Lafayette <PLafayette@webtv.net> When I began this family tree I was only going to do our direct bloodline and there fore made special effort on Victoire who married Pierre Lafeuillade 7-14-1794, as Lafeuillade, with time, turned into the name Lafayette by later priests and clerks. I began at the Burton Historical Collection in the 1980s using 5 volumes of the St Francis Xavier church records in negative photocopy. maddening! Then in 1986 I visited Vincennes and worked with the real thing, rechecking my notes.
Hi Larry, Speaking of sources, I know that the Vincennes material I mailed to you was without sources. For the record, then, let me give you the following:
Jette, Rene, Dictionnaire genealogique des familles du Quebec des origines a 1730.
Beauregard, Marthe Faribault, La population des forts francais d'Amerique (XVIIIe siecle). Volume I copyright 1982, and Volume II copyright 1984.
Wolfe, Barbara Schull, St. Francis Xavier Church Records, Baptisms, 1749-1838, Knox County, Indiana, copyright 1999.
Wolfe, Barbara Schull, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church Records, Marriages and Deaths 1749-1838, Knox Co., Indiana, copyright 1999.
Denissen, The Rev. Fr. Christian, The genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region 1701-1911. 2 vols. copyright 1976. Based on his manuscript copy obtained by The Burton Historical Collection after his death in 1931.
Note: Based on the first four of the above sources, many corrections had to be made to the Denissen entries. As he did not have access to the Vincennes records, he mistakenly attributed the descendants of Rene Coderre and Catherine Campeau of Vincennes to the Godet dit Marentette family of Detroit. The original Ste Anne de Detroit records show Coder, Gode, and Goder; not one used Godet dit Marentette.
