I found some in Eastern Canada land records, but no luck in church records and no luck in US. Levoy seemed to have been in US as he had 5 kids in New England, but find no records of his existence. He married a Margaret Young, she immigrated in 1839 at age 15 from Canada. Don't know if she married the guy or any idea where. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: French-Canadian genealogists, please help me find this man Joseph Levoy or his wife's father Augustus Young. I found some in Eastern Canada land records, but no luck in church records and no luck in US. Levoy seemed to have been in US as he had 5 kids in New England, but find no records of his existence. He married a Margaret Young, she immigrated in 1839 at age 15 from Canada. Don't know if she married the guy or any idea where. Here are all the records for a Joseph Lavoie b. after 1785. I'm making an educated guess, but there's a lot to work with. 1785 m St-Jacques-de-l'Achigan Subject m LAVOIE JOSEPH 1785 m L'Acadie Subject m LAVOIE JOSEPH 1786 b Pointe-Olivier (St-Mathias) Subject m LAVOIE JOSEPH 1786 b Ste-Famille I.O.

It would help if we could get a grasp on the province of his birth. PRDH also only takes us up to 1799 (they also have the 1851 census, but it sounds like he's in the US by then)? One other thing that might help us...what were the names of his two oldest sons and two oldest daughters? 95% of the time, those are the names of the grandparents. www.ancestry.ca Margaret Young Born: 1824 ,Barton, Canada Died: April 3, 1908 , Claremont,,New Hampshire,USA (She died as Margaret Taylor ) Married (one of 3 husbands): Joseph Lavoy Born: 1807 ,Canada Their Children 1.Alice Lavoy (Born: 1841) 2.Joseph Levoy (Born: 1845; Died: Sept 7, 1921 Claremont,,New Hampshire) 3.
