Hi Brosseaus,
Earlier today, I posted the following (below) to this forum, in response to Rick's earlier posting. But I would like to post it again so that all Brosseaus see this. ALSO, before I post it, I wish to add to what I said perviously. I hardly know where to go with this, but I will just come out and state my guesses. In the SSDI, there are the following ARTHUR BROSSEAUs:
BROSSEAU, ARTHUR 388-03-3924 WI 9 Feb 1885 Apr 1965 WI
BROSSEAU, ARTHUR 034-07-3110 MA 26 Nov 1900 Oct 1964
BROSSEAU, ARTHUR 081-30-9534 NY 20 Apr 1925 Apr 1996 Utica, New York 13503
BROSSEAU, ARTHUR 025-24-1391 MA 28 Jul 1932 16 Jun 1990
These are, to the best of my knowledge, the ONLY ARTHUR BROSSEAUs.
This is what I posted earlier:
Hi Rick and other Brosseaus,
I have just begun to research the Brosseau name. My grandmother's sister, Catherine Mae Hallman, married Arthur F. Brosseau. Catherine and the other Hallman's at that time lived in Revere and Chelsea, MA.
Yesterday, while searching for anything on Arthur F. Brosseau, I located several items, while at the library, using ancestry. I just wrote notes and was just finding what I needed when my time allotted, ran out! From the names that you, Rick, have posted, I thought this may be of interest.
Can anyone tell me WHO these Brogi's were and HOW they may have been related to Arthur and perhaps to his family? To my knowledge, they are not related to anyone I have found in this Hallman family, which is my mother's family.
1930 US Census, Revere, Suffolk, MA
Octavel L. Brogi Head 36 yrs. married @ 20 yrs of age. b. MA fa b. MA, mo b. MA
He is a metal worker for a contractor.
His wife is Louis (Exact spelling) she is 34 yrs of age and married @ 18 years of age. She was b. in MA, fa b. in Vermont and mo b. in (its says) Canada/English
The children are listed as:
Louis A. daughter 15
Arlene A, daughter 9
Octavel L. Jr. 5
Lorraine T. daughter 2
AND THEN, listed with them, is my grand aunt, whom I have finally found in the census, other than with her mother in 1920:
Brosseau, Catherine (Shown as sister law, which I presume must mean sister in law. I would gather that she is sister in law to Octavel, the head of the house?) She is 26 and shown as a "wd" which I think is widowed.
The census is indexed as this Arthur, her son, being a son of Octavel, which I think is an error, because listed just beneath Catherine is:
Arthur F. son 5 b. Ma, fa b. Ma and mo b. MA
I believe this is my aunt and her son. I have no idea why she is showing herself as a widow unless she is. I am just learning about her as did not have anything on her until recently. She is the sister to my grandmother.
Can you, Rick, or anyone else enlighten me on this?
Also, after reading several entries for the city directories in Revere, North Adams and in Chelsea, I THINK THIS Arthur's family consisted of father, Henry, or possibly brother to Henry.
Revere City Directory, 1922, Book Section B, Pg 71:
Brosseau, Arthur F. (U.S.A.) bds 30 Yeamans
Brosseau, Ethel T. Shoeworker, bds 30 yeamans
Brosseau, Henry E. Mason. h bds 30 yeamans
Brosseau, Howard W. govt. student h bds 30 Yeamans
AND THEN:
Revere City Directory, 1925, Book Section B, Pg 70:
Brosseau, Arthur F., machinist, res 3 Dix
Brosseau, Howard W. govt. student h 242 Mountain Av
AND THEN: (CA = Canada)
1900 US Census Revere, Suffolk, MA
Brosseau, Henry E. head b. Nov 1861 b. VT., fa b. CA, mo b. CA
Mary wife b. Aug 1862 b. CA, fa b. CA, mo b. CA
Children listed are:
Arthur F. son Aug 1892 b. MA fa b. VT, mo b. CA
Louisa M. dau Mar 1895
Howard W. son Apr 1896
A_ _ ria A. dau Jan 1899
Can anyone tell me about the above families, including the Brogi's??

OK, what I would like to ask is if there are any descendants of ARTHUR BROSSEAU who might happen to see this posting, to please email me or post a message here. There is an Arthur Brosseau who is listed as being born in 1925 and being born in NY. Does anyone know WHO his parents were, or the circumstances perhaps to his early boyhood? I saw on an FTW CD that I have, which shows a line of descendants from THIS Arthur, who is supposed to have been born in NY. There is nothing for the parents.
IS IT POSSIBLE that the one I have, and the one born in NY are one and the same??
I ask because my Aunt, my grand aunt, was Catherine Mae Hallman. She married an Arthur F. Brosseau. She signed her name as: "Mrs. Catherine Brosseau" and also as "Mrs. Arthur F. Brosseau" and also as "Mrs. A. F. Brosseau". In the 1930 census, she is shown as being a widow, possibly and 26 years old and living with the Brogi family. What I am asking is if it is possible that she gave her son up to someone else to raise? Perhaps to the Brogi's?
My grandmother, Agnes Louise (Hallman) Tilley, died 11 Jan 1938, in Revere, MA. Her sister, Catherine was listed in the funeral as Mrs. Catherine LeClaire. She had already remarried.
It is quite possible that the Arthur F. Brosseau that I speak of, is in fact another Arthur other than the one listed as being born in NY in 1925. However, I would like to solve this mystery and if there are descendants who are related to MY Arthur F. Brosseau, I would like to get in touch, not to mention the fact that in case these two men were one and the same, there is another history and ancestry available for the descendants of Arthur F. Brosseau, b. 1925 in MA and whose parents were also born there. I hope to hear from anyone who may be related to this line. My Hallmans reach back to the mid 1700's in Germany.
Sincerely,
Linda
