Jean Lalonde dit Esperance was my 8th great grandfather. He was born about 1641 in Rouen, Normandie, France. He married in New France (Quebec)November 14, 1669 to Marie Barbary

Jean died September 30, 1687 in an attack by the Iroquois on the little parish of St. Louis. He was the lone churchwarden of the area. I have found four children from this marriage.
I found the wine label above on the internet. It marked the 300 year anniversary of Jean's death. The photo was credited to Labatts Brewery. I contacted the company and they directed me to the archivist for Labatts. She said to email her the picture and she would see what she could find but I never heard back from her.

What a shame the brewery have not come back to you on this - it would make some wonderful additional information for your tree, you are doing wonderfully well to have gone that far back, I'm stuck in the early mid 1700's at the moment - very frustrating
ReplyDeleteWow, and I never even met my father or knew who my grandfather was! Amazing that you've traced that far back!
