Legare-398 and Legere-446 appear to represent the same person because: Albert J. is my second great-grandfather. His wife, Marie Louise Helie's, mother Mary Gay are my direct maternal line. I have researched extensively his daughter with Louise, Aurora and am certain this is my family. I have also been dna tested and shows relation to Leger names. This also means I have the mtDNA for Mary Guy. Would love to connect trees and get help finding more about Mary Guy!!

My great, great, great grandmother was Mary Gay who was married to Homer Hudson. Mary and Homer had Mary Louise who married Joseph Albert Legere. They had Ceclia Legere who was Aurora's sister. Cecilia married George Provencher who had my grandmother Evelyn Cecilia. I have a copy of marriage from Mary Gays marriage and know her father's name was Augustus Gay and mothers name was Mary. I will try to send you a copy after class and will try to find pictures of Aurora.
