Mona,

Madonna's earliest maternal immigrant grandmother was Madeleine Groleau.  Her mother was Marie Gauthier.  This line was originally reasearched by René Jetté & Gail Moreau (now Moreau-DesHarnais) in Michigan's Habitant Heritage, in 1994.



Celine Dion's earliest maternal immigrant grandmother was Mathurine Robin. Her mother was probably Mathurine Avrard. I researched this line in Jetté, PRDH, BMS and the Drouin Collection.



My earliest maternal immigrant grandmother was Élisabeth CAMUS who has already been listed.



Thanks for keeping the list up to date.



Diane Sheppard

Marie reserved half of her 300 livres dot, dowry, as her personal property, and all of the king’s dot. Her future husband promised her a douaire, dower’s portion, of 300 livres.[2] Twenty-one days later, 28 September, Marie Grandin exchanged religious vows with Jean Baudet.  Witnesses were Jacques Gaudry, Nicolas Valin, Michel Maillou, and Jean Beriau.  Henri De Bernières performed the ceremony.[3]  The marriage record indicates that Marie's father was deceased.
