Comments: Looking for information on the family name of LaCroix. I
understand there may be Indian ancestory in my family, so am looking
for any help in seeing if this is so. I had a great grandfather named
Eugene LaCroix, married to Octavia Jimerfield ( maybe Jubinville?)
He was born in Canada, around 1855, became a naturalized U.S.citizen
in 1875, moving to Michigan. Octavia was born in Michigan about 1857.
Apparently, older family members hinted at Indian ancestory, but that
may not have been fashionable to let on during their lifetime. Their
children were born in Michigan - Odille - about 1878, Nellie, 1879,
Elsie - 1888, Ellen-1891, and Joseph - 1893. Any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

Comments: I am trying to find info on my gg aunt Martha. Most of the
info that I have came from her obituary. I shall retype it here.
The Mining Journal Marquette, Michigan 31 Dec 1973
Mrs. Onnie (Martha) VIRTA, 57, of 2019 Longyear Ave., died Saturday
in Baraga County Memorial Hospital, L'Anse. She had been in ill health
since 1958 and in the hospital since August.
Born April 14, 1916 in Baraga, she had been a resident of Marquette
since 1951.
She is survived by the husband Onnie; a daughter, Mrs. James (Martha)
SEAVOY, L'Anse; four grandchildren; one great grandchild; three brothers,
George DECOTA, Marquette; Joseph DECOTA, Harvey, and John DECOTA,
Milwaukee, Wis.; two sisters, Mrs. Virgil (Josephine) BINNON, Benton
Harbor and Mrs. Alvin (Lucy) BAWDEN, Marquette; and several nieces
and nephews.
Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. today in St. Christopher's Catholic
Church with Rev. John Hascall officiating. Burial was in Northland
Chapel Gardens.
Tonella's Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.
Escorts were Peter and Michael SHELAFOE, Phillip DEPETRO, William
LAPORTE, Douglas DORMER and Kim BENGRY.
From what I have been able to learn, Martha was married to a SHELAFOE,
and had her daughter Martha before marrying Onnie VIRTA. It is also
believed that she was full blood indian. I am assuming Ojibwa because
of the location. Aunt Mart would always reply "Black Foot"
to the query, "What tribe?". Many believed her, but it was
her own personal joke. Aunt Mart liked to go barefoot, hence, her
feet were often black.
She died when I was 6, and would dearly love to find more info on
her.
Thanks

My husband knew little about his family. And now that he is gone
I am trying to find Tribal connections for my son, so he does not

My g-grandmother was part Native American, but was raised without
any recognition of her culture. There is little Native Culture here
in SC. We have been to one Pow Wow. And I have had a desire to know
more about my past than my future for some time now. I want to honor
those that went before me and those that were connected to my son
- someone special.
I have found the word "Jilote" which means green corn,
or new corn. The only other people with this name I have found were
in Guanajuato, MEX. with marriage records dating back to 1649.

I have been unable to connect my line to its Michigan base because I have not yet found the specific part of Mich to look for the remnents of the Swan Creek & Black River band which remained. Neither have I found any records to search for family ties but I understand some of Chief McCoonse's descendants did not relocate in KS. and are still in Mich. I will appreciate any help or suggestions. |
