Alphonse Turmelle
Does anyone have an Alphonse Turmelle in their family?
I am sure he is somehow related to my great great grandmother, Celine Turmell, who was born in 1845 (Rose Celina Matilda Turmell) in Ste. Marie de Beauce. In 1861 she married Francois Honore Lachance. They migrated to Bay City, Michigan about 1880.
I found two photos of Alphonse Turmelle in albums I inherited from my Lachance ancestors. One photo is apparently Alphonse and his wife - they are a very handsome couple. The other photo is a family photo apparently taken about 10 years later. It is a photo of Mrs. Turmelle and four children - the oldest is a girl, the next two are boys and the youngest could be either. The family photo has a photographer's name embossed - Naubert & Son Photographer.
I would guess that these photos were taken in the late 1800s, possibly very early 1900s.
I would love to figure out how they fit into my family tree.
