• Notes

  Evidence for first name: Romeo comes from daughter Bernadettes marriage certificate and also my mother's family tree. Could it be Romuald? If he was actually Romuald, that would make him 12 years older than his stated age. Could this be possible? Elsewhere known as John Young Elsewhere known as J. B. Dionne - on marriage to Josephine would normally presume that J. B. refers to Jean-Baptiste At birth of son Felix, is listed as John Young At birth of daughter Margaret, is listed as John Dionne
