Biography

"We are part of a great chain, a chain that hangs suspended across vast spans of time and links us to all those who have come before and those who follow after. Individual links of the chain may perish- indeed must perish - but the chain itself is ever-renewing and will survive. People die, whole families might become extinct- but the human family goes on and on, everyone connected through the heritage of blood." - paraphrased from Isaac Asimov, The Positronic Man

My family is Québécois from the area of Québec City. The beginnings of our DNA quest was to identify the genetic origins of two adoptees in our family tree. Both sides of my family tree have now been confirmed by DNA at the level of my greatgrandparents. Our family is on Wikitree, FtDNA, MyHeritage, Ancestry and GedMatch.

Hi Susan. How are we related? Greenleaf or Bolduc?
posted by Mary (Bolduc) Bartczak
We are likely connected through your Bolduc side but your father is not connected to his ancestors so it would take a bit of time to build his Wikitree up to his French Canadian ancestors.

My interest in the profile for Perley Greenleaf came from wanting to honor the original profile creator, Ann Thomas. Ann had created beautiful profiles with great detail and photos before passing away in 2014, I adopted several of her profiles and continued filling in details. She had created the profile for your grandfather, with the DOD in 1980, from her personal recollection. My contribution has been in support of her original information.

bonjour Mama Kiki,

j'espère que vous parlez français. J'ai vu que vous avez Jean Baptiste Morin de St-Charles, C'est mon grand-père. Je suis le fils de Lionel. Serait-il possible de me permettre de modifier grand-père et grand-mère ? Merci à l'avance Clément Morin

posted by Clement Morin
Cher cousin Clément,

Vous êtes le bienvenu de modifier vos grands-parents. D'ailleurs, Emilie Gagnon n'a pas de "profile manager" (gérant de profile) et je vous encourage de prendre ce rôle pour les deux. Si vous me donnez votre addresse couriel, je vous ferai parvenir une demande par couriel qui vous permettras de vous joindre au "trusted list" de Jean Baptiste Morin et par après je vous nommerai profile manager.

J'ai aussi modifié Jean Baptiste Morin et Emilie Gagnon comme parents de Lionel Morin.

Christine

Thank you Mama Kiki, I really appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I would rather be corrected than continue doing something not allowed or incorrect. I didn't know that I couldn't post the PRDH image. That's on me, I should have checked the rules on uploading images. I have removed it from the profile. I am sure that I have more posted on other profiles. I will try to find them all and remove them. If you come across any images that I posted that aren't allowed, let me know and I will remove them or if you want to remove the image yourself I will have no problem with that. Thanks again! Celeste

I'm so glad you joined Team Roses for this year's Source a Thon. You were absolutely amazing! I'm blown away. Emma :-)
Hi, Mama Kiki

Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

Keep up the great work!

I am so glad you joined Team Roses for the Connect A Thon. It was a pleasure to work beside you. And you did an amazing job! :-) Emma
Hello, Mama Kiki!

Thanks for all the work you accomplished during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree. You have every right to be pleased with your efforts!

Hello cousin, Mama Kiki: Thank you adding the caution note to the Labossiere - Gareau cross marriages. I had not thought of doing that. You are probably aware that there are several other cross marriages between these families, but the two you have highlighted could pose the most confusing to others. I see we are 6th. C - 1R. All the best. Hope you are well and keeping safe. So sad to see how severely Quebec has been hit with his pandemic. We live on Vancouver Island and are quite safe. Jim L.

Hello,

I see that we are 8th cousins, once removed....I always love to find new people and see if the connections become closer as more people are added to the tree. I love your bio!!

Hello cousin. BTW I notice you don't have Leda Richard connected to her ancestors, would you be OK with me connecting her? I am working with Montmagny families right now and might be able to find her family.
posted by Mama Kiki Lajeunesse
Hi, thanks for your reply. it was my Richard cousin who had it on T.V. he is a cajun musission who has performed in different countries. I am not sure if he thinks we are related to Indians or not. it would be interesting to find out that we are.

Hi, thanks so much for the information . I went through Wiki Tree information & got the information that you & I are related. I think it said we are ninth cousins. it also showed that we are related through someone [ I forgot his name . will send it to you later when I find it. ] it is always nice to find new cousins.!!

Hi, I see that you are the profile manager of Jacque-Francois Richard .I think he may be an ansestor of mine because my grandfather was Francois Richard. I have the geneology tree on the Richard side. I would be interested if we could see if our two families are connected
