Helen... I hope you read this.. Yes, we're definitely cousins. I sent your post
to "our" (yours and mine) cousin and he assured me we're all related. If you
want the details, please email me at: bmbennette@comcast.net (I
don't see your email address in your post.)
HERE'S WHAT OUR COUSIN
SHARED WITH ME:
Is absolutely a cousin. Real quick checking has led
me right back to France via Nova Scotia.The grandfather she references is David
DeCoste married to Jean Mcgrath. He was born in Braintree 1901, his father was
David, born 1876 Nova Scotia, immigrated 1897 married Nellie Hickey (Ireland).
His father was David born abt 1840 Novia Scotia married Mary Jane Mattie, his
father Isaac born Nova Scotia married Dothery Fougere, his father Jean Baptise
born Nova Scotia married Osite Lavendier. I could keep going as the records are
pretty straight forward back to France. Her grandfather David had 3 kids as per
the 1930- census. Myrtle (1926), Francis (1925), John (1927). Unless they had
other children her father is either Francis or John. Figure they married in the
1940's. Would be nice to find a way to get back to her. Can you put something in
the Veno book that asks her to contact you if she cares to find out about this?
