Dear Jon,
I have barely begun doing research on my family background.However, the following may be of interest to you. My great grandfather is listed on his death certificate as Jean Baptist Daiguault(spelling?), Dit Laprise LaCasse.
He was born on October 22,1849 in Canada.I have reason to believe in St.Jean in the Province of Quebec.His father is listed as John LaCasse of Canada.Where it requires the mother's name, it states 'cannot be learned'.Her birthplace is listed as Canada. Perhaps the most significant information relates to his occupation as acarpenter.At the time of my father's death in 1993 while going through his possessions, we made a startling discovery.He had been handed down a set of tools from his father, Joseph George LaCasse, a carpenter, stamped with the name LaCosse.No one in my family can shed any light on this name difference.Perhaps you can! I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, Lee
