A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Quebec Who Chose To Be Featured
706. REN1960 : I am the daughter looking for my dads birth family. He was adopted in Hull‚ Quebec with the name Joseph Edward Thomas.
708. Mikcob83cou : Adoption parents: John Miklosey & Frieda Zimmer
Baptised 6th day of March‚1963 at the Roman Catholic Church of Notre-Dame Parish‚ Montreal‚ Quebec‚ Canada
Godparents were Carmen J Colucci‚ and Anna Marie Licckepto Colucci‚ Magnolia‚ New Jersey‚ USA
Used the Social Catholic Services for the adoption
The adopted child was born with the name: Joseph Gils Ballinger‚ born Feb 28‚ 1963.
709. Member331701 : I was born 11/26/54 in Quebec‚ Canada. Birth mother was 21 and one of 15 children. Birth father was 28 and one of 9 children. I have a birth brother 1 year older. Placed in Creche de St. Vincent de Paul and baptized at St. Patrick’s Church
710. NealRichard : A couple of years ago the Province of Quebec ‚ which had hitherto kept all adoption records sealed opened them under certain conditions.
Long story short‚ I applied‚ and got some answers back within a few months‚ and it was a mix of good and bad news. My mother was long deceased (2008)‚ and i was given her identity‚ and a modicum of background information. My birth father was still living and located‚ and happily he consented to having contact. I have been communicating with him weekly since then‚ and we have met‚ despite living in different countries‚ and Covid.
He could provide very little background on my birth mother as their relationship was long distance (He was a US air Force man from Maine ‚ and she lived in Montreal‚ and they had had no contact since late 1964 before i came along.
Finding information on "Liz" who died in 2008 has been very difficult. What little we have been able to find indicates that after her relationship with my father ended (all involved believe that Liz’ mother may have had much to do with the break up) she never married‚ and seems to have a had a very limited social life. She was an only child‚ and the records we have found indicate that she lived with her mother until her mother’s death in 1993‚ and thereafter maintained residence in the same low income apartment. She has no internet footprint whatsoever.
It was much easier to find information on her parents‚ grandparents and their generation‚ but it has fallen to me to create her existence online.in the ancestry and FamilySearch and MyHeritage trees.
I have been able to obtain her birth certificate from a site called "Scotland’s people" and her attestation of death (indicating only her name‚ city and date of passing) from the Ministere de l’Etat Civile " in Quebec we know where she lived at various times (always same address as her mother from electoral lists.
All this is fine and dandy‚ but we have no record of any workplace names post 1963‚ nor where she went to school‚ no photographs from yearbooks‚ and no clues as to anyone who may have known. her. I have even been in touch with one of her cousins who never even knew she existed‚ though he does remember being told he had been babysat by his "Auntie Pearl" (Lis’ Mother) at one time.
I have put this out on Facebook while i was on it ‚ and no one who may have known her came forward. I have reached out to people who lived in her building‚ and got no response.
We even found her mother’s grave ( a simple marker with name and dates in the paupers’ section of a Montreal cemetery.) but have no indication whatsoever of where Liz’ remains may be located‚ or who handled her final arrangements. Etat Civile refused to provide the "Acte de deces" which would contain that information on the grounds that since I was legally adopted i have no legal claim to that document. Needless to say we have contacted every funeral home we could to find out who handled her remains‚ and to whom the remains were turned over. No one has any record of her. There was never an obituary published either. Also to complicate things further‚ apparently i have an older half brother out there.
As a "Hail Mary" i have have placed a "Memoriam" ad in the Montreal Gazette which is scheduled to be published May 7th 2022 (Mother’s day weekend) which belatedly announces her death‚ and asks anyone who knew her to please come forward so i can "meet " her second hand.
Dies anyone here on this board have a similar story‚ and some ideas they can share about how to obtain some of these missing pieces and things they have done to locate friends and acquaintances?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
712. ZillaBluez : My father‚ Gordon Gregory (deceased 2015) was adopted by Elsie and JCF Vallotton in 1936(?). Looking for information on his birth parents.
713. MT1992 : lo‚ I am looking for my biological parents and my siblings. I was born on April 9‚ 1964 under the name of Laure Anne Michaud. I was placed in the Saint-François-d’Assise daycare center in Montreal‚ also known as the crèche de la Réparation. My mother was a cleaning lady and my father was a cook. They were not married. I did a DNA test with Ancestry and discovered that my mother and father were both from New Brunswick. Thanks to the DNA test I was able to find a half sister and I knew that my mother is a Michaud from New Brunswick. I did a lot of research and found out that my father is a Perreault‚ also from New Brunswick. I still don’t have 100% confirmation of my parents’ identity but I am 99% sure that I have found the right people‚ I just need confirmation from my socio-biological background. According to my research my father would be Ronald Perreault‚ he was a cook at the Montreal train station‚ but I have not found any document concerning him. My mother‚ would be still alive and is 85 years old. I will not mention her first name since I do not have the confirmation yet but it is a Michaud. And she would have had 7 children so I am looking for my brothers and sisters.
Thank you.
715. MT1992 : I am looking for my siblings. My mother is a Michaud from New Brunswick and gave us all up for adoption. I was born at Royal Victoria Hospital and placed at St. Francis of Assisi / Reparation Daycare. My mother would have had a total of 5 children that she placed in the daycare. I have already found my 3 half sisters and am now looking for 2 brothers born in 1959 and 1961. My mother was a cleaning lady and also worked in Youville Orphelinat. My father was a cook and worked at the Montreal train station according to my research. I believe he is a Perreault from New Brunswick. At the time of my birth‚ April 9‚ 1964‚ I had a 5 year old brother and a 3 year old brother. I would like to meet you...our mother’s name is Irma Cyr (née Michaud). interesting information‚ my mother was medicated for epilepsy.
716. JenniferAnnArchibald : Our mother is Norma Belle Porter Archibald from St. John NB‚ who gave birth at age 18/19. She was sent to a convent in Quebec‚ I believe Montreal? for pre birth and birth. This convent does not exist today. She stated my brother was adopted by a couple who had tried for several years to conceive. This couple were " furriers"‚ possibly from northern Quebec.
The Father was older‚ possibly 2- 4 years. They both were attending Mount Allison University/School for Girls when my brother was conceived. Fathers home province was NS. He became prominent in the Navy‚ Halifax NS.
In 2015‚ my brother did find his father‚ who was residing at Camphill Veterans Hospital in Halifax NS. I believe he was of the age of 94- 95 at that time. He did divulge to my brother who his mother was. My brother contacted our Mother via phone‚ in Moncton NB‚ where she was residing at that time. They were going to meet at the Parkhouse Inn in Moncton NB‚ but my mother decided not to meet him‚ of which I wish I could explain to him why‚ as that must have been a deep hurt. I believe he would be 79 years age as of 2026. The photo i have attached is of our Mama long ago.
I pray I find him someday.
Love your Sister Jennifer
717. MeghanScrimgeour : I am looking for my biological grandparents‚ aunts‚ uncles or cousins. My mom was adopted and her birth mother had her when she was between 16-17 years old. As far as I am aware my grandmother was living in Nova Scotia but that may have changed. I am in search to try and figure out who I am since my mothers side is unknown to me.
718. Jonathanjoshy : All I know is that I was born at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal Quebec and the last name of my biological Father is Morin.
720. Jessdom1973 : The date of birth is unknown‚ but would have been between the years 1969-1971.
She was born in Alberta ‚ Canada ‚ most probably in the city of Calgary .
Her biological mother’s name was Mary.
My dad was a french Canadian on a trip across Canada when he met her mom‚ and they dated for a short period of time‚ before he continued on his trip.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
