Hi,Linda! What a surprise to find a post from you here! As far as our Memere Alma goes, she was born in Rochester, NH on May 26, 1896, and died on October 11, 1963, also in Rochester. Louis Adelard Dubois was born in Gonic, NH on January 3, 1892, did indeed marry Memere Alma Vachon on September 4, 1916, in Rochester, and he died on October 20, 1951, also in Rochester.
Alma's parents were Paul Vachon (b. 1847, d. 1919) and Rose Roussin, born in 1857 in St. Patrice, Canada, and died July 10, 1947. Louis' parents were Jean Baptiste Dubois, born November 27, 1862 in Canada, married Marie Plourde on November 21, 1887 in Rochester, NH, and died May 30, 1940, in Gonic, NH. Marie Plourde was born in 1860 in Tingwick (near Warwick ?) Canada, and died April 6, 1918 in Gonic, NH. The above facts are from Catholic Church records, yearly City of Rochester birth and death records, from local newspapers, and from the cemetaries in Rochester and Gonic. My father and I have been researching both sides of the family for some time now, and I wish you much luck with your research. Please keep us up to date on any other facts that you may find, and happy holidays to you and yours.
