Malo Name Varients

Cousins de Malo de Salutations !

Have you hit a brick wall with your Malo genealogy? I would not be surprised if you have because I have been stuck many times searching for Malos in New England and Canada. I discuss my most recent state of "stuckness" below.  If you are stuck. try spelling out Malo phonetically several different ways and use those variants to search with. Another quick way to identify variants is to use a soundex. WeRelate offers an open-source database of name variants. Once you locate one variant in the records, try searching using that variant because it may have been used more than once. The links below will help you with your search.

Malo Name Varients

Here are the name variants I came across when searching for Malos:

Where I Continue to be Stuck

I am still trying to break through the brick wall I mentioned in a previous post and I hope someone can help me! I am searching for the parents of Louis Mao married to Sarah Vandal (also given as Harriett Vandale). I am not sure why on some census she is listed as Sarah, and Harriett on others, as they appear to be the same person. Though there are some discrepancies in the documents, I think this is the same family, please tell me what you think.

Elmira La Fond and Louis Napoleon Malo

Cousins de Malo de Salutations!

I noticed on ancestry.com, that there were quite a few people with Elmira La Fond in their tree but they did not have her marriage. She was married to Louis Napoleon Malo, the son of Louis Malo and Sarah Vandal who are mentioned in the previous blog.

Elmira’s details are:

Birth16 Jun 1871 Weedon, Wolfe, Quebec, CanadaDeath Living

Death Worcester, Massachusetts, USA

Elmira’s parents were:

• Alexandre Lafond 1828 –
• Caroline Marie Gauthier 1852 –

Elmira's birth record is posted below.

Elmira and Louis Napoleon had three children that are all late, the last living child passing on in 2000 at the age of 95.

Elmira and Louis Napoleon divorced and I have not been able to find any other records for her.

Louis Napoleon remarried Mary Annie Olds b. 1875.  I have no children for this couple. Mary Annie Olds parents were:

• Albert Olds
• Annie Mary Shears

Au revoir mes cousins!

Malo Brick Walls

Greetings Malo Cousins and Researchers!

As you know from my previous post that my interest in Malo family history is the Malos that emigrated from Quebec to New England in the 1800’s. I have been trying to tie this New England Malo line all together and taking each family line back up the family tree to Jean Hayet dit St Malo and Catherine Galbrun.

Currently I have 1,230 people in the Malo New England tree. The most recent branch I have added is that of Adelard Ayette Malo married to Euphrosine Marcaurele. They originated in Quebec and immigrated to Connecticut.

What are your Malo research interests and what brick walls have you run into? Let us know so that we can help each other break through the walls. My current brick wall is: who were the parents of Louis Malo b. abt. 1838 in Quebec and passed on 1908 in Worcester, MA. He was buried in Putnum, CT. His wife was Harriett/Sarah Vandal.

Please send me a blog on your interests that I can post.  Feel free to add your Malo knowledge, make comments and let us know your questions.  I am looking forward to building one giant Malo tree with you all!

Au revoir mes cousins!
