Hi. I'm not related to this family. Here is their marriage from the Early U.S. French Catholic Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1695-1954:
Benjamin Lapeer, age 22 (Francois Lapeer & Marguerethe Brouillard)
m. 24 Nov 1857 Détroit (Ste-Anne), Michigan
Geneveva Gagnes, age 19 (Hilaire Gagnes & Marie Thibeault)
I found one baptism for a daughter:
Ludovica Josephine Anne Lapeer, bap. 17 Sep 1865 Détroit, Ste-Anne, daughter of Benjamin Lapeer & Genevieve Gagnier -godparents- Francis Baptiste Tremble & Lucie Lapeer
Here is the family in 1861:
