Today I feel a bit of relief in that I am finally making a long overdue post. I was inspired by some misinformation I came across yesterday on Find a Grave for Louis Malo (1858 – 1938). This Louis' spouses were Héloïse Provost and Annie Cloe Julius. Louis was born at St-Marc-sur-Richelieu, Verchères, Quebec, and died at Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
I found the headstone gave Louis' birth date as 1867, and who ever made the Find a Grave site gave his birth date as 1870. Nether of those dates are quite accurate.
These photos were taken by Karen who gave me permission to post them here. Thanks Karen!
Louis' parents were Jean Louis Ayet dit Malo (1837 – 1905) and Marie Julienne Forand (1835 – 1900). Louis' baptism record indicates that he was baptized 9 March 1858.
Just as a side note, I have not traced Louis' first wife's family, so I am not implying anything, but just to say that I know that the Provost surname is associated with the descendants of Roch Mantioubeouich and Outchibahanoukoueou. Roch's daughter, Marie Olivier Manitouabeouich dit Sylvestre married Martin Prévost. Provost is one of the surname variations of Prévost. Well documented descendants meeting particular requirements can become members of the Nulhegan Tribe Abenaki Nation of Vermont, a state recognized Native American Indian tribe. Not all Prevosts/Provosts are descended from Martin and Marie Olivier, but the couple does have many living descendants.
Hopefully I will get my next post up sooner than this one was.

ReplyDeleteYes there are! I have about 4,000 Malos in the database now. My Malo ancestors from Quebec were Louis Malo (1854 – 1920) and Marie Alexandrine Herbert (1863 – 1902). Who were yours?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, I just did the DNA testing and the majority of my family is from Canada, and France.

DeleteTell me where you tested and if you have a kit on gedmatch because I have also tested. Perhaps we have some matching segments, though from third cousins onward there may be no matching DNA segments.
ReplyDeleteAny information on the Malo family in Lewiston Maine. Lucien and Thelma and daughter Carol were neighbors when I grew up month early 40s and 50s. They were so very good to me.
ReplyDeleteI belongs to Malo Family. Malo is a notable cast of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan.
