Tremblay Genealogy
I've started building The Tremblay Family Home Page, on Family Tree Maker Online, to solicit and offer genealogy information from visitors to that Web site.
You can also visit my Genealogy page ...
There is an Association des Tremblay d'Amerique and you can find its Web site at:
Here's the address if you want more information:
And here's a new website concerning the October 2007 350th wedding anniversary of Pierre Tremblay and Ozanne Achon. All Tremblays in America, whether living or dead, descend from this couple matrried on October 2, 1657, in the Church of Notre-Dame-de-Quebec.
I've run across Canadian Web sites with very good information about some of my ancestors (these sites are written mostly in French, with some English):
[Tremblay |
Domingue |
Ouellette |
Bellefeuille | My GenForum ]
Mass Intentions: every March 12 - in memory of Rene Tremblay | every March 19 - in memory of Therese Tremblay
Day of Remembrance: every July 30 - in memory of Therese and Rene Tremblay
Quoting from "John and Sandi's Old Schoolhouse" (former web site),
Pierre Tremblay emigrated to "New France" circa 1652. I've heard there are tens of thousands of Tremblays living in North America who are all descendants of this single journeyman. Although there are several different spellings, "Tremblay" is the original.
Here is the family crest, from the Association des Tremblay d'Amerique web site:
