<\/a><\/p>\nI was also able to find Denis at Ancestry:<\/p>\n
His tree was modest, but was something that I could work with.<\/p>\n The next step is to build my own tree for Denis. My assumption is that the match is on the Lefevre side as my wife’s aunt’s mother was a LeFevre. As soon as I enter Denis’ parents into my tree, I start getting hints.<\/p>\n I see that my wife’s second great grandfather was Edmond Lefevre born in Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, so I feel I am on the right track.<\/p>\n Here is the baptismal record for Denis’ father Ernest:<\/p>\n Ernest’s father was Odilon. We further learn that Ernest’s mother’s name was Alma LeFleur.<\/p>\n Next I would like to focus in on Odilon:<\/p>\n Here he is in 1881:<\/p>\n This appears to be three generations of LeFevre’s: Lazare, Joseph and Odilon. Here is Lazare from my wife’s grandmother’s tree:<\/p>\n I next just need to show that Joseph was the son of Lazare. Here is a portion of Joseph’s marriage record:<\/p>\n This establishes that Joseph was the son of Lazare, “Notaire”. From what I understand, a notaire would be a sort of paralegal.<\/p>\n That means that we have a connection. I have a small LeFevre tree already, but it needs updating:<\/p>\n Let’s add Lazare and Denis:<\/p>\n According to this tree, Lorraine and Denis are third cousins. There may be other connections further back, but I will disregard those connections for the time being.<\/p>\n The match between Denis and my wife’s Aunt Lorraine is either from Lazare LeFevre or Adelaide Bour\u00e9. We don’t know which without further DNA analysis. Here is what I have for Lorraine on her maternal side so far:<\/p>\n Lorraine’s DNA is 37% mapped out on her maternal side and 22% totally mapped (maternal and paternal). This would show as pink above. Denis bumped up Lorraine to 38% mapped maternally. Here is Denis’ contribution highlighted in gray:<\/p>\n He brings new information on Chromosomes 3, 5, 11, 12 and 16.<\/p>\n On Chromosome 11, it is truly new information. On Chromosome 12, it is already covered by RL, Sandra and Caroline.<\/p>\n I’m a bit behind on Richard as I don’t have a category for Lazare LeFevre and Adelaide Bour\u00e9. Richard has a more modest match with Denis:<\/p>\n When I paint this on to Richard’s DNA map, I see something interresting on Chromosome 5:<\/p>\n This shows that Richard’s DNA match with Denis is overlapping with Richard’s DNA match with Michelle. This is where I have a problem with my key. I had thought that Michelle’s common ancestor was Methot, but it is actually with Joseph Martin LeFevre born 1874. I need to differentiate my colors better. I changed Methot to yellow, so that it will be less confusing in the future;<\/p>\n Now that I know where Denis belongs in my tree, I can add him in:<\/p>\n That should help AncestryDNA figure out the ThruLines.<\/p>\n Here are Lorraine’s ThruLines for Lazare LeFevre:<\/p>\n There is one match on the Joseph Line with Brad.<\/p>\n I haven’t been paying as much attention to Aunt Susy’s DNA Map:<\/p>\n However, she has nice colors. Here is her match with Denis at Gedmatch:<\/p>\n I’ll need to add Lazare in to DNAPainter. Here is Aunt Susy’s maternal side:<\/p>\n DNA Painter gave me a boring color, but a chose a brighter color for Lazare and his wife. Susy was 33% painted maternally and 21% overall. Denis bumped these numbers up to 36% on the maternal side and 22% overall.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, my wife and Denis do not share a lot of DNA.<\/p>\n Denis and Marie are third cousins once removed. That should translate to 4.5 generations to their common ancestors. That means that Denis and Marie share a little less than average for that relationship.<\/p>\n Painting this on to Marie’s map does not add any missing areas:<\/p>\n However, it does confirm the match with Caroline and others.<\/p>\n I should have added Caroline to my LeFevre DNA tree. Caroline is at MyHeritage:<\/p>\n Charles Lefebvre shows as 1891. I checked my old blogs and see that the tree had “before 1891. Here is Lazare in 1851:<\/p>\n Charles is 9, so was born around 1842. The birthplace for all is Ville Quebec which I take to be Quebec City. I made a new tree with Caroline in it:<\/p>\n I’m sure that this tree could get quite big. This is what Marie has for ThruLines at AncestryDNA:<\/p>\n Outside of the Edmond Lefevre Line, Marie has 9 matches from 5 siblings of Edmond. And when I expand the Charles Line, I find Caroline in the photo:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nFinding a Common Ancestor Between Denis and My Wife’s Family<\/h2>\n
