Claude, >I am researching a story about Anne Pelletier. Somebody submitted information to the web site Ne-Do-Ba. Nancy LeCompte in turn sent me the following because of my inquiry into the Pelletier name. Do you know
anything about this?
"From: Ne-Do-Ba Kwai Nidoba (Hello my friend),
Received your request for assistance and this is what we can tell you which is not really much, but may give you something to research further. A family research project that was donated to us has the following; daughter of Jean Pelletier & Anne Langlois given as Marie Anne Nanabesa - a Native daughter to French parents! She is 'Fille du Grand Chief Jean Baptiste Nanabesa' according to this source. This is the Marie Anne that married Guillaume Lizotte 16-Jan-1670. Her birth date is given as 2-Oct-1656 at Quebec City (this may be a baptism date?). I can only offer a few suggestions as to how Marie Anne could be a Native but have French parents.
1. A major error on the part of the researcher who's work was donated to us.
2. She was an orphan adopted by a French family.
3. The Pelletier's are only god parents and not birth parents.
4. Her Native parents sold or gave her to Pelletier because they could not care for her or they wanted her to have a 'proper Catholic' upbringing and better chance of survival.
5. Jean Pelletier was such a good friend of the Native people, that he received a Native title and name from them - he could be Jean Baptiste Nanabesa. This is not too far fetched, especially if he was half breed himself.
The original records may very well state that she is (or is not) the 'natural' or 'legitimate' child of Jean Pelletier. Additional documents for Jean Pelletier may show that he is Nanabesa." The Marie-Anne Pelletier that this story is about is my line. What I have in my data base is this: (* my line) I have more infomation as to dates and places etc......just didn't include them. I am looking for native ties.
If you know of anything that could help me I'd appreciate it. Thank-you so much for looking this over.

Dear Lynn,
You will have to excuse some of my english expression, my english in not that good...
We are receiving thousand and thousand messages and genealogical demand mostly by american citizen, but this one is the most ridiculous and extravagance we ever read in the last twenty years. Sorry but someone is writing a science fiction novel or/and taking is dream for real. Believe me, it is a major error on the part of this type of researcher who are spreading false story that are very difficult to stop. Let start at the beginning to clarify the situation:
-We have in the «Pelletier bank of surname» over 45000 marriages of Pelletier, Peltier, Pelkey and Antaya marriages in North America, all verify with proven vital statistic, church record and Quebec registry office documents.
- JEAN PELLETIER (1627-1698) / ANNE LANGLOIS (1637-1704) have nothing to do with this story and yourself Lynn Ménard WITH PELLETIER ancestrale line as NO NATIVE TIES AT ALL.
- Yes, Marie Anne NANABESA has EXISTED, she is not a Pelletier but married a Nicolas Pelletier (1649-1729) on August 5th 1715 in Notre-Dame parish in Quebec. It was for Nicolas a third marriage and for her, a second marriage.
- Her real name is MARIE PECHABANOUKOUE also known as OUTCHIOUANICK, daughter of the tribe chief in Tadoussac Jean Baptiste Outchiouanick dit Nanabesa. She was born and baptised on May 17th 1672 and die at the age of 56 yrs 2 months and 11 days on July 7th 1728.
- NANABESA mean servant or maid in the «Montagnais» indian language of the north coast on the St-Laurent river.
- Nicolas Pelletier (1649-1729) son of Nicolas Pelletier ( -1674) and Jeanne de Voissy, m. c. 1632 in St-Pierre de Gallardon, Beauce in France.
You could find genealogical data and english historical text on Nicolas Pelletier family in the web site of George A. Pelletier of Springfield Mass at http://genealogy.org/~gapellethttp://genealogy.org/~gapellet and a visit by William Peltier to the original town of Nicolas Pelletier ( -1674) and Jeanne de Voissy in France at: http://genealogy.org/~gapellet/billvisit.htmhttp://genealogy.org/~gapellet/billvisit.htm
You could also look in the Association des familles Pelletier Inc. http://association.pelletier.nethttp://association.pelletier.net
We would mind having the ancestrale line from yourself Lynn Ménard to the first Pelletier in your ancestrale line and so on to Guillaume Pelletier and Michelle Mabille, to see if your Pelletier ancestor are in the 25325 descendant of this couple that arrived in Quebec in 1641 fron Tourouvre in the old province of Perche (Orne) France.

This answer to the ancestral line is coming from the genealogist of the "ASSOCIATION DES FAMILLES PELLETIER Inc. an international association regrouping the Pelletier, Peltier, Pelkey and Antaya of North America.
