About The Chaumont, Baril, Verrette and Marcotte Family Tree website
Please sign in to see more. Welcome to the Chaumont, Baril, Verrette and Marcotte Family Tree website. My name is Doris Chaumont Peixoto and I am the webmaster of this site. Please contact me if you have any comments or feedback. And please don't forget to sign the guest book!
This website is in honor of my late father Leopold Chaumont. I remember as a child being fascinated by all the stories my father would tell us about his family. He once described seeing a wall hanging of the Chaumont family tree while visiting Bishop Conrad Chaumont (1875 to 1966) in Montreal. His eyes shone brightly while talking about this great discovery in great detail, saying that it was traced all the way back to France. After my father's death in 1984, I was determined to find this family tree. After trying without success, I decided that I was going to trace my family on all 4 sides on my own: The Chaumont and Baril's on my father's side and the Verrette and Marcotte's on my mother's side. I had no clue where to begin! Remember this was before computers and the internet! Luckily I had assistance from the Public Archives of Canada, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints where we could order microfilm and the good ole Tangay Dictionary that could be found in libraries of small Norther Ontario towns! It has been a labor of love and a wonderful fascinating experience. Working on my family tree has giving me the opportunity to meet WONDERFUL people and to make newfound friends! Like Seeburn Chaumont and Pierre Lagacé say: Genealogy is in the blood!
I would like to take this moment to thank the following people who have provided information as well as pictures:
