No idea if there is a connection here between Raymond and my Dupont family. The obit states that Raymond is the son of Napoleon Dupont and Lea Lague. I know that my great-grandfather, Joseph Dupont had a brother named Napoleon:
Napoleon DUPONT - b. c1868 - m1. Clara ROUET, 10 Sep 1891 at Pointe-du-Lac, Maskinonge, Quebec, Canada
m2. Alexina GERVAIS, 27 Sep 1894 at St-Narcisse, Lotbiniere, Quebec, Canada
If he had 2 wives, perhaps he had 3?
It would be interesting to see if Census records list any information that could link him to my Dupont family. Parents names, place of origin, year of birth, date of marriage...
