Diane Leroux, Szpivak, Depatie born in 1950s. Woodstock generation. Last of Post-War generations. Retired Registered Nurse, Teacher/Trainer of Adults, & Previously Animal Care Technologist. First married in 1974 to John Ernst Szpivak, two beautiful daughters. Two grandchildren: 18 year old gentleman & his one year old sister. Second marriage in 1993 to Jack Depatie; no issue.
Live just outside of Cornwall, Ontario, Canada in area where many of French-Canadian roots originate.
Getting nowhere with children's Romanian/Hungarian heritage. Getting nowhere with British/Welsh - mother's side. Going berserk with French Canadian ancestry which is leading me all over Europe into royalty, Welsh, British, Irish, German, Italian, Spanish, Danish, etc. ad infinitum. Need to find more confirmation for many of these alleged connections.
I often make errors, for which I apologize. Learning curves get higher as you get older. If you have a problem with anything I say or suggest or do, please let me know immediately so I can correct the error ASAP

Thank you for the help with the merge of Pierre Dupre duplicates. Jim
On Lesieur and the article on seigneurial system in New France, not entirely sure where it would fit, I read it and it is quite informative, do you know how to create a free space page? I think if you put the data in such a page and attach it with the tag Category:Quebecois Project it will be useful to others also.

The current Weekend Chat is active until Monday July 3, 2017 (Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Catch up on what everyone is up to and say hi. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!
Also I'm confused by your removal of both parents of Prieur-17 here and here without giving a reason or citing sources?
Also, lots of leads can be found in Nos Origines - http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/ - but information there should be checked against other sources when possible because much of it is user-submitted.
Cheers, Liz
The great thing about WikiTree is you don't have to go it alone!
