As you know, we have identified three children from John Bangle’s first marriage to Josephte Allaire: Marie-Catherine, Jacques (who died as an infant), and Marie-Dorothée. Continue reading

The Bangle Files: #16 | John Bangle’s First Land
The scene takes place in the Notary Public Joseph Turgeon’s office on March 10, 1789. Marie-Dorothée, John’s and Josephte Allaire’s daughter, was born just a couple of weeks before. On this day, as far as we know, John Bangle is acquiring his very first piece of land in the province of Québec. Continue reading
Travel 2016: My Trip to Vermont ~ Day 2
Lots of firsts today! And you thought I couldn’t do it!
This Tuesday, I visited three repositories: the Vermont State Archives in Middlesex, the Leahy Library of the Vermont Historical Society in Barre, and the Vermont Genealogy Library in Colchester.
The Bangle Files #15: The DNA Trail
How about taking the Bangle Files to the next level? Curious? Let me explain.
While I am still working on the paper trail, why not getting some help from new tools available to us? Y-DNA tests are what I am talking about.
The Bangle descendants Facebook Group has suggested that we create a Y-DNA group on Family Tree DNA. And so we did. Continue reading
The Bangle Files #14: John Bangle & Marie-Louise Couvillon
I prefer not to rush things regarding the land records of John Bangle as I still have some dots to connect, so I thought it would be a good idea to present to you the second wife of John Bangle in the meantime. Continue reading

The Bangle Files: #10 | From Palatine to Terrebonne
I must admit I am quite ambivalent about this post. You see, I like to write about documents which I have found and read myself. As for the Ontario Loyalists, I didn’t. Or more precisely, I couldn’t do it yet.
I have this big project coming up. Next September, I plan to spend some time at the Ontario Archives, in Toronto, and at Library and Archives Canada, in Ottawa. I even aim to visit both locations before September so that my fall trip may be as successful as it can be. Continue reading
The Bangle Files: #9 | Citizen Bangle
Citizen Bangle… Wrong title, right? I was desperately trying to find naturalization records for Adam Bangle since I knew he had been naturalized, but I was looking at the wrong era for answers, as New York was not a State then but a Province, of course. Therefore, Adam Bangle didn’t become an American citizen but rather a subject of His Majesty the King of Great Britain. Continue reading
The Bangle Files: #8 | Stone Arabia
I wish I could have been able to retrieve the email I had received more than a decade ago from Judy Bangle Persin in which she was writing me that she had found baptismal records for three of the children of Adam Bangle and Marie Davis!
I wouldn’t have had a clue where to look having, of course, no idea about the exact location where the Germans had been settling in New York along the Mohawk River. But Judy knew! And she ordered microfilms from her Family History Center for various churches in the area. Continue reading
The Bangle Files: #7 | The “Jeneffer”
Two weeks ago, relying upon the results obtained further to our latest research, we were led to believe that Adam Bangle arrived in America in 1765. My good friend Judith Bangle Persin had found his name on a passengers’ list.
Well, not exactly. Continue reading
