Hi List,

The book - Wall of Names - list

Victor Broussard
Isabelle LeBlanc

No children listed with them.

At lunch yesterday I looked at the Memorial's web site and printed out all
the Broussard's they say are on the wall or who they have names (not sure
which). There is no Joseph son of Victor and Isabelle on this list. There
are two Joseph's with no birth dates and no parents. On pages 13 & 14
plaque 2 the following names are the only ones not connected to a family:
Augustin Broussard
Francois Broussard
Louis Broussard
Marie Broussard

There is also a Madeleine Broussard (no husband) but indented in as if a
member of her family is Elisabeth Broussard.

Looks like who ever put this info together is as confused over Joseph dit
Beausoleil Broussard death as we are. Then, they could be causing our
confusion. All for me this morning must get ready for work.
