Hi there, I’m searching for a male sibling born in Quebec to Marie Louise Therese Gagnon. She was the 9th of 10 children born to Lucienne Berichon and Lucien Gagnon and born April 17th 1939 and lived in Verdun in Montreal. My mom Louise spent 8 years in the Catholic convent with a brother and a sister when the 2nd world war was in full swing due to economic hard times. When she was released from the convent at 16 years old she met a married man who promised to leave his wife when my mom got pregnant. Of course he never did. So my mom went to another city to carry out the pregnancy and give birth. She had a boy sometime before Mother’s Day but not sure when. She told me that she went to her sister’s house shortly after giving birth and was quite sad being among her siblings with all of their children and no one knew about her just giving birth. She requested that I not try to find my sibling until her death. She sadly died of leukemia just 6 months ago. So I’m searching for a needle in a haystack. I know nothing about her son, as she did not want to tell me anything. My mom was 16 years old in 1955, and she met the married man shortly after that. So I believe that he was born likely in 1956 or 1957 and probably only a few months before Mother’s Day, which is in May. That could put his birth month either January through to May. My mom was very dark hair, dark skin and tanned easily. She had hazel/green eyes and a rounded nose. She looked a little bit like perhaps Philippino or Native. She was 5’4 in her youth. She had a tiny frame with lots of curves. She worked for the government in Quebec and met my father on the military base there when it was still active. My mom loved to dance and was a great singer. She had the most beautiful neat and fluid handwriting and was very eloquent in her writing. She had a fantastic sense of humour and everyone loved her presence. She had a passion for politics and debate and was sharp minded.
