Research Notes

Name: Granddaughter Kathryn Boland referred to her grandmother as "Georgianna", as does the 1871 Census^[1][2]. 1900 Census records as "Georgiana"^[3]. 1910 Census records as "Anna"^[4]. Généalogie du Québec lists her as "Marie-Georgina"^[5]. The birth record in the Parish register is cut off: "Marie Claire Georgi---"^[6]

Immigration date: Husband John's 1913 Naturalization Petition says Oct 1883^[7]. 1900 Census says immigration to USA occurred in 1884^[3]. 1910 Census claims 1870^[4] and 1930 Census^[8] claims 1875, but these earlier dates seem doubtful since their children are being born and recorded in Quebec during that period.

Children: The two sources are the firsthand memories of the Boland Letter, para. 9 ("John Langlois and his wife, also named Georgianna, had nine children. Three had died before Matthew knew them.")^[1] and the supporting profiles in Généalogie du Québec^[5].

Died sometime 1913-1930: Alive in 1913^[7], husband listed as widowed in 1930 census^[8].

Gravesite unknown.

Biography

Georgianna Parent was born Aug 1853 in Quebec, the daughter of Jean Parent and Elanor Cote.^[3][5][15]

On 7 Oct 1873, Georgianna married John H Langlois (1850-) at Sainte-Luce, Rimouski, Quebec^[15][16]. Between 1874 and 1885, they had nine children; six survived to adulthood^[1][4].

In 1883, the family emigrated to the United States^[7]. Their youngest child, Emma (Langlois) Bell (1885-1963), was born in the United States. John worked as a Section Foreman on the Soo Line railroad, built 1884-1888, and the family moved several times^[1][17].

From about 1885 to about 1893, the family lived in Rice Lake, Wisconsin^[18]. Youngest daughter Emma was born there in 1885^[19]. Oldest daughter Georgianna met her husband there while the family operated a rooming house^[1]; the couple was married in 1893.

By 1895, the family was living near Glen Flora, Wisconsin^[20], and operating a restaurant in the Glen Flora Soo railroad station^[1]. By 1900, most of the children were grown and John and Georgianna were living in Wright County, Minnesota^[3].

Around 1900-1901, the couple settled in the village of Marengo. Their granddaughter Florence was born in their Marengo house in 1901. They operated a farm, store, and the local post office^[1].

Georgiana died before 1930^[8].
