JEAN “ISAAC” GUINDON and FRANCOIS LEROUX’S MIGRATION JOURNEY FROM ST. BENOIT, QUEBEC TO ONTARIO.

By Lisa Guindon of California and David Guindon of Warren, Michigan Contact: Lisa Guindon

Jean “Isaac” Guindon born and baptized on September 12, 1807 in the Parish of St-Benoit in Quebec, a

small farming village about 30 miles Northwest of Île Jésus, the island his ancestors originally settled on

when first arriving in North America. St-Benoit was first settled in 1780 and originally given the name of

Grand-Brûlé. It was subsequently renamed St-Benoit in 1796 after Benoit de Nursie founder of the Bene-

dictine order. Isaac was one of many sons born of Gabriel Guindon and his first wife Anne Rouisse dit

Martel. He was also the third child of the couple to be baptized at St-Benoit. The village grew quickly and

when Isaac was seventeen in 1824 the population was already over 6000 people, spread over 1082 fami-

lies. By this time Isaac’s father Gabriel was married to his second wife Madeleine Perrault after his first

wife Anne’s death. He and Madeleine proceed to have a second large family. It appears Gabriel could

have fathered at least nineteen children from his two marriages, a large

family by any standards. In the 1825 census for Lower Canada, Gabriel

and Madeleine have a household of ten persons; unknown if Isaac is living

there at the time to……... View Full Story click here

Pomela Guindon b 12 Jul 1863 (Source: Drouin records) died 10 Dec 1955 Sandwich East Township, Essex County,

Ontario, daughter of Hubert Guindon born 3 Mar 1826. (Date and place of death unknown.) Lived in Deux Montagnes

County, Quebec probably from birth until 1871 then where?

Pomela resided with her parents in Deux Montagnes in 1871. In the 1891 Essex County, Ontario census Pomela is married

to Henri Berthiaume. From the age of the oldest child they appear to have married about 1886-1888. I would like to know

where they were married.

Regards, Bob

Hubert Guindon married Marguerite Desvoyaux dit Laframboise 15 Nov 1852 (St Hermas, Mirabel, Quebec – see Drouin

record below) Marguerite Devoyaux dit Laframboise was born abt 1831, place unknown.

Hubert Guindon marriage record from the Quebec, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967

Editor’s Note: The spelling of the name Guindon=GRONDIN and Devoyaux=DEWYONE

Prior to 2002 Mirabel was not only a city but also comprised the Mirabel Regional County Municipality and St.

Hermas is a community within that territory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirabel,_Quebec)

Mirabel was formed through the expropriation of private lands and the merger of 8 municipalities in 1971. The former

municipalities were (with their individual founding dates in brackets): Saint-Augustin (1855); Saint-Benoît (1855); Saint-

Hermas (1855); Saint-Janvier-de-Blainville (1855); Sainte-Scholastique (1855); Saint-Canut (1857); Sainte-Monique (1872),

and Saint-Janvier-de-la-Croix (1959). Initially called Ville de Sainte-Scholastique and renamed to Mirabel in 1973

Hi Laverne

My names is Susan Yandon Atherton and I am the daughter of Margaret Ruth Grant from Vernon, British Columbia. I have talked to my

mother about the Yandon family tree and she said that she was in contact with you a number of years ago. She said that you and her

corresponded, with both exchanging information about Rose Walker Yandon (my Great, Great Grandmother.)

I would very much like to correspond with you in regard to Rose Walker Yandon. Two questions I have about Rose is where she was born

(I was told County Antrim, Ireland which a large area—the town would be very helpful) and when did she come to Canada (from what port

did she sail to Canada from?) I am going to Ireland in May and would love to be able to go back to my Great, Great grandmother’s roots.

Kindest Regards, Susan Yandon Atherton.

My ggg grandfather was a Jean Baptiste Guindon who married Ursule Deguire. My family ended up settling near Fort Covington

which is very close to Brasier Falls. I found the information on the cookbook by looking up the Guindon family name. Some lady

had a recipe for spaghetti on her blog and it was taken from that book. So I figured I'd order it and check it out. :)

Thanks again, Justin

LAVAL AND SAINT-EUSTACHE, QUEBEC

SOURCE: BRITANNICA.COM

Laval, city, seat of Laval region, southern Quebec province, Canada. It occupies the whole of Île Jésus

(Jesus Island), just north of Île de Montréal from which it is separated to the south by the Rivière des

Prairies and from the mainland to the north by the Rivière des Mille Îles; both rivers are extensions of the

Ottawa, which flows into the St. Lawrence below Montreal city. Île Jésus, 20 miles (32 km) long by 8 miles

(13 km) wide, with an area of 95 square miles (246 square km), was first settled in 1681. In 1699 it was

granted to the Society of Jesus, and named for François de Montmorency Laval, the first Roman Catholic

bishop of Canada. By 1702 a parish known as Saint-François de Sales was established.

Development of Montreal suburban communities on the island was relatively slow until the post-World War

II years. In 1959, because of industrialization and urban growth, the Interurban Corporation of Île Jésus was

formed. In 1965 the city of Laval was created by merging the island’s cities of Chomedey, Duvernay, Laval-

des-Rapides, Laval Ouest, Pont-Viau, Sainte-Rose, and the towns of Auteuil, Fabreville, Îles-Laval, Laval-

sur-le-Lac, Sainte-Dorothée, Saint-François, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, and Vimont.

Since the opening of industrial parks in the 1960s, planned industrial development has been rapid.

Manufactures include television and radio sets, lithographic printed materials, paper, aluminum, iron and

steel products, pharmaceuticals, and dairy foods. Inc. city, 1965. Pop. (2006) 368,709; (2011) 401,553.

Population: 417,304 http://www.citypopulation.de/ March 2014

Map of Laval, source: Statistics Canada

In 2011, Laval (Ville) had a population of 401,553, representing a

percentage change of 8.9% from 2006. This compares to the national

average growth of 5.9%.

Land area is 247.09 square kilometres with a population density of

1,625.1 persons per square kilometre. This compares to the provincial

land area of 1,356,547.02 square kilometres with a population density of

5.8 persons per square kilometre.

Laval (Ville) is part of the census metropolitan area of Montréal.

Saint-Eustache, town, Laurentides region, southern Quebec province, Canada, lying on the Mille-Îles River

opposite Laval (Île Jésus). Settled in the 18th century, it was the site of the final battle of the 1837 uprisings,

in which the militia, under General John Colborne, defeated the insurgent patriotes and killed their leader,

Jean-Olivier Chénier. The town church, built in 1783 and heavily damaged during the battle, serves as a war

memorial. Saint-Eustache is now a popular resort, 15 miles (24 km) west of Montreal city, in an agricultural

area. Industries include dairying and vegetable canning. Pop. (2006) 42,062; (2011) 44,154.

Population: 45,019 according to Official Gazette of January 2014

The Guindon Journal is designed to serve as a communicator for researching and tracing

the Guindon Family history. Our primary focus will be the ancestors and

descendants of François Guesdon & Marie Molay’s son, Pierre Guesdon, born 24

Sep 1662, St. Pierre du Martray, Ville du Loudun, township Chaelleraut, diocese

Poitiers, Poitou, France.

To subscribe to the Guindon Journal see page 12

Fill out the form below to order the book “WHERE HAVE ALL THE YANDEAU’S GONE?

Limited copies available

WHERE HAVE ALL THE YANDEAUS GONE?

This book has a soft cover with perfect binding, fully indexed and is app. 350 pages, has numerous pictures, including Leonard Yandeau and his wife

Maryann Hoover and their son and six daughters, and Thomas Yondau’s wife Martha Elcome and their six daughters and one son, (inserted picture of

Thomas Yondau aka Thomas Adams) Each book will be numbered. When your order with the full amount is received you will be assigned the next

consecutive number.

This book has research on the Thomas (Tom) Yondau descendants and the Leonard Yandeau descendants. As you can see Thomas spelled his name

differently than his brother Leonard Yandeau. And to make things more confusing Leonard named his son Leonard Thomas (Tom).

Thomas Yondau farmed in the Combermere, Ontario area around 1854 and his brother Leonard purchased land in the same area in 1877. Their children

and succeeding generations have also been researched. In the 1891 census there is an Andrew Yandeau family farming beside Leonard.

The Canadian original French spelling of this name is Guindon. There are many variable spellings - Yandeau, Yondau, Yedon, Yandon, Yandaw, Yando,

In the 1851, 1861, 1871 census of Vankleek Hill, W. Hawkesbury Twp, County of Prescott I found the following family:

Jerome Yedon and his wife Veture Aubin with their children Francis, Xavier (Thomas?), Meril, Matilda, Sophia, Leon, Margret and Edmond. Leonard

Yandeau’s death certificate confirms that he was born in Vankleek Hill, Ontario.

Through my research and with the help of Ruth Blackburn’s information that her grandfather Thomas had a brother Frank, Leonard and Andrew, and

sisters, Sophia and Margret, I believe this to be the family we are looking for.

But, you say, how can Xavier be Thomas? It seems this family has many name variations. (After 35 years of research on this family we have learned

Thomas changed his surname to “Adams” when he lived in Michigan.)

second copy of church records, from all denominations, was sent annually to the appropriate courthouse. During the 1940s

the vital record collections in courthouses throughout Quebec were filmed by the Institut Généalogique Drouin.* The filming

of vital records continued for some areas up through the 1960s. Consequently, this filmed set of records became known as

the Drouin Collection. The majority of the records in this database cover the time period 1621-1947, as most of the filming

was done in the 1940s. The records that were filmed up through the 1960s are also included in this database, although they

are very few in number. These records that were filmed later cover the years 1948-1967.
