Joseph DesRosiers from Lanoraie, Quebec (1823 to 1899) head of family.
baby Henrietta DesRosiers — the story behind the photo.
Henrietta’s mother had died and her dad, Arthur, decided to give his daughter to his childless sister, Louise. That’s her protecting the child from falling. I am guessing that Louise was so excited that she wanted a photograph right away.
Hi Therese I’m wondering if we knew the names of Arthur J Derosier’s 3 children with his first wife, Ms Shephard? I know Aunt Rita, Aunt Rose and their was one more that we’re my Grandfather Ralph Derosier’s half sisters. I thought they were my G grandmothers children from her first marriage. But maybe not.
