Lorrain Line

Therese Lorrain (1811-1869)

Therese Lorrain was the wife of Louis Ouvre and great great grandmother of William Spies. Her ancestors were from France and then Quebec. Thanks to the excellent records of the Catholic church in Canada, Illinois, and Missouri, we know a lot about this family, so much that it takes several charts to display it. Her grandparents Jean Baptiste Lorrain, Hyacinthe Fortin, Jean Baptiste Tison, and Marie Anne Normandeau are shown on separate posts. Click the “Made in France” images to see the details.
