Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Beauvais and St. Gemme-Beauvais families who came mainly from France and Normandy. Some allied families came from Germany and Spain. Some married persons with Sioux and Lakota Indian bloodlines. Many Beauvais ancestors lived in Igé, Beauvais, Tourouvre, Montague, and Perche, France. Some immigrated to New France, and settled in Montreal and La Prairie, Quebec, Canada from 1634 to 1729. One ancestor was Jacques Beauvais (1623-1691), who was born in Igé and died in Montreal. Jacques married Jeanne Soldé in 1654. Other ancestors include Marie St. Gemme dit Beauvais (1782-1826); Jean Baptiste St. Gemme-Beauvais who married Marie Louise La Croix in 1735; Moise Beauvais dit St. Gemme who married Louise Phaneuf in 8147; and the famous mountain man, Pierre Geminien St. Gemme-Beauvais (1815-1878) who married Marie Louise Montardy and Adraine Lee. Some Beauvais families and relatives settled in Illinois and Missouri in the 1700's. During the 1800's, some moved to Ontario (Canada), and to the Dakota Territory, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. Later descendants also lived in Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, and elsewhere.
