Malo Families in Lewiston, Maine

Salutations Malo Cousins!

Recently I have been researching the Lewiston, Maine Malos.  One thing I noticed on ancestry.com was that there was a lot of confusion on this line so I thought I would relay that line here and I request that anyone who has information to add to this Malo line or if there are corrections I need to make, please message me below.  I do have 5^th and 6^th generations, but I have omitted them here for privacy.  

The Lewiston Malo line originates from two sons of Pierre Hayet dit Malo (1810-1899) and Charlotte Amiot (1818 – 1881). These sons are: 1. Louis Pierre Hayet dit Malo (1843-1894) and 2. Charles Hayet dit Malo  (1854-1914). These brothers emigrated from Quebec to Lewiston, Maine.

There are quite a few points of confusion on this line. In this blog I will look at what seems to be the three biggest points of confusion surrounding the Lewiston Malos.  That is, four Joseph E Malos all born around the same time, Doris Malo, and where Jean Baptiste Stanislaus Malo was born. 

The main point of confusion is the four Joseph E Malos as they have been mixed up in various trees on ancestry.com. I wanted to delineate these four Josephs here. Two of these Josephs are not from this line, but they have been confused with it. I hope this will lead to some conversation as to the details of these Malo cousins:  

1.      Joseph Emerilde Malo b. 1898 in Lewiston, ME (death date unknown). Though his birth record indicates his parents were Stanislaus B Malo (1873 – 1956) and Marie Emelina Caron (1877 – 1969) he does not show up on the 1900 census with his family  He may have died as an infant since no other record was found for him.

2.      Joseph Emery Malo b. 1898 in MA. According to the 1930 and 1940 census he lived in Searsport, ME. He died in Searsport, ME 1963. His parents were Emery Malo (b. 1872 - 1932) and Rose Anna Goulet (1870 – 1912). Though not a Lewiston Malo, Joseph Emery is a cousin of these other Josephs and he has been mixed up with them in some family trees on ancestry.com. Joseph Emery is descended from Jean Baptiste Stanislas Hayet dit Malo, who just happens to be the the brother of Pierre Hayet dit Malo mentioned above. Joseph Emery's wife was Rose Mary Socea.

3.      Joseph E Malo was born 1898 in Canada and in 1940 was living in Seattle, Washington.  His parents are currently unknown to me. Though not a Lewiston Malo, this Joseph E Malo has been mixed up with the Lewiston Malos in some family trees on ancestry.com.

4.      Joseph Emile Malo (1902 -1977) was born in Lewiston, ME, son of Louis Malo (1871 – 1938) and Marie Caroline Turcotte (1872- 1957). He has also been confused in the various trees on ancestery.com. His spouse is a point of confusion in her own right. According to the Maine marriage record his spouse was M. B. Lessard. The 1930 census gives her name as Blanche. According to this record, Blanche was born in 1906 in Canada. Many people have Joseph's spouse as Marie Rose Alma Lessard also born in Canada abt.1906, or they have listed both Blanche (no last name) and Marie Rose Alma Lessard. I found this confusing as there is only one marriage record for Joseph Emile on ancestrty.com and at familysearch.org. These two Lessard girls had different parents so they are not the same person. It could be that Joseph married twice, but I am doubtful of that. Perhaps someone found a second marriage record for him offline.  

The second point of confusion I want to report on is that of Doris Malo. Doris is the granddaughter of Stanislaus B Malo and Marie Emelina Caron and lived with them in 1940. On various family trees, Some people report her as Dolly, others as Doris, and some people have her as Dolly Doris Bernice Malo, daughter of Louis Edward Stanislas Malo (son of Stanislaus B.) and Marie Anne Vermette/Mariann. I was not sure at first if Dolly and Doris were the same person or two different people as I had not found a birth record for Doris, Dolly or a Doris Dolly yet. I did find three marriage indexes for Doris. A descendant of Doris said that Doris and Dolly are the same person and that Doris had a brother named Robert G.  Marie Anne Vermette parents were Edward Vermette and Demerise Demers. Demerise's parents are believed to Evangeliste Demers and Adele Boucher. 

The birth record below should resolve the third point of confusion. This record is for Jean Baptiste Stanislaus Malo, better known as Stanislaus B. Malo, the one mentioned above. Though most people on ancestry.com have him born in Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine, USA, he was born in St-Damase, Québec, Canada. Next to the birth record is a photo of Marie Florida Malo, sister of Jean Baptiste Stanislaus Malo.

              Marie Florida Malo (1887-1978)
