Hi All,
Hope your enjoying the Holiday weekend.
I am seeking parents and dates
of Louis Rene COUTU m. Rosilie GUILBAULT ;
They had a son Louis COUTU who m. Sophia GAMANCHE:
I haven't any dates on either couple.
They would be my 6th & 7th generation ancestors ,
in my Laporte line:
Any help would be much appreciated on any or all of these lines.
Thank You,

This is to "Alice from Massachusettes" ... Thanks to AOL (it threw me off
while I was digging in my files for information on Coutu!) I only have a
hard copy of Jacque Trempe's reply to your posting. Anyway, I am a
descendent of::
Daniel-Louis Cottu (Francois + Louise Lesiege) m. to Catherine Charpentier
(Denis + Marie-Anne Despernay) 22-11-1717 St-Sulpice.
I have a little bit of information on the Cottu line sent to me by someone
else via e-mail. Here it is, as is:
" ... The book I am refering to is in English and maybe it is an English
translation of the one to which you refer. I did find those notes on the
Coutu family and they are as follows: The original name was Cottu and the
family came from the city of Soissons in the Picardie region of France.
The family belonged to the ancient nobility of Soissons and the
French-Canadian branch came from the nobles and lords of Valtrie. The
actual lineage from France beginning in 1515, was Pierre Cottu born in
1515 in Soissons and he died in 1590. He married Madliene De Sarrebruck
and their son, Francois married Jeanne De Roucy on 25 Jan 1583. Jeanne was
the daughter of Nicolas II, Count of Roucy and Louise of Expense. The
House originated with Renaud of Vermandois, Count of Reims and of Roucy.
Their official title was Count of Roucy, Count of Montidier of Arcy and
Rameru and Baron of Roucy. As a result of this marriage to Jeanne,the
Cottu line and their decendants are issue, through the feminine line, to
the ancient kings and emperors of France and Europe. Their son,Jean,
married Catherine de Fayolle and their second son, Antoine, was the
founder of the Canadian branch."
The book mentioned above could be "Genealogie de la Famille Coutu 1680 -
1890" by Joseph Alexis Coutu, Mile-End, Institution des Sourds-Muets,
1890. Antoine is the grandfather of Daniel above.
I hope you find this as interesting as I did.
