loiselle and chapman families, wisconsin, minnesota, and new york

okay, let's begin:


Royal Charles LOISELLE

Parents: George William "William" LOISELLE (1870-1947) and Anna "Annie" ROBERTSON (1881-1924)
Life Range: 29 Dec 1910 - 29 Apr 1977

1910 Dec 29 Birth: USA, Wisconsin, Chippewa County, Holcombe.

9 Jan 1911 Alt. name: USA, Wisconsin, Chippewa County, Holcombe. His given and middle name are incorrect on his birth certificate as it was filed. According to the birth certificate on file with the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Royal birth was filed as "Roval Carles LOISELLE."

Royal was born in a rural community 29 Dec 1910. HIs birth was registered about eleven days later. Not a long gap between and registry, really, but what seems obvious to us is that in those intervening days, the name got changed somehow in transcriptions of it. Likely the person transcribing the original notes was not the same person who had taken them, resulting in Royal unwittingly carrying legal given names sounding more hispanic than French all his life.


1914 Oct 12 Bith of spouse (#1): USA, Wisconsin, Chippewa County, Cobban, Cushing Farm. Marian Emma CHAPMAN (1914-1988). Born in Cushing Farm, Cobban, Chippewa County, Wisconsin, USA. Died on 28 Oct 1988 in Wickenburg, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA.
