I am also looking for my Gignac family in Trois Rivieres, so between us we may turn up something eventually.
My Grandmother, Eliz Gignac, reported having been born in Trois Riveries and her father was Louis, a tanner.I have not been able to find a baptism there for her, nor have I found her family in any census.Supposedly she left a large family in Canada when she moved to Watertown, NY to work in her Uncles boutique as a young woman.I have found her Uncle Godfrey Gignac's baptism in Trois Rivieres, along with sibblings: Frederick Oliver, and Edmond.An older brother, Louis Adolphe was born in Pointe-du-Lac (near Trois Rivieres) in 1842.The parents of this family were Louis Gignac and Marie Aurelle Camirand married in Pointe-du-Lac in 1841.Unfortunately the left no forwarding address when they left that village.
