Wedding Wednesday: Pierre Francois Burtcher and Marie Celestine Voisinet

6/17/2014

This past Sunday, I posted the 1850 U.S. Census of Pierre François and Marie Celestine (Voisinet) Burtcher (also spelled Bultechert), my husband's 4x great-grandparents.  Today, I am posted their marriage record.  They were married on 12 May 1846 in Évette, Belfort, France. (Click images for larger views.)

Civil Marriage Record, Pierre Francois Burtcher and Marie Celestine Voisinet, May 1846
Pierre François was the son of Joseph Burtcher and Anne Claire Jardot.  Marie Celestine was the daughter of Georges Voisinet and Marie Rose Jardot.  Both fathers were farmers.  Six months (yep!) after the wedding, the couple welcomed their first child into the world.  Marie Rose Julie Burtcher was born 13 Nov 1846 in Évette.  She was the couple's only child that was not born in America.  They came to America shortly after she was born.

For reference, the village of Évette is located near the larger city of Belfort, which is located in northeast France in the Territoire de Belfort.

Tombstone Tuesday: George and Rosalie Voisinet

3/3/2014

This past Sunday, I wrote a blog post about the family of George and Rosalie (Jardot) Voisinet, French immigrants who were my husband's 5x great-grandparents.  George and Rosalie immigrated to America in 1852 from Evette, France and settled in Loramie Twp, Shelby County, Ohio.  They are buried in St. Remy Cemetery in Russia, Ohio.  A nice, detailed history of the St. Remy Parish can be found at this link.

George and Rosalie passed away in 1866 and 1875, respectively, so this is obviously not their original gravestone.  It's nice to see that there are descendants out there who are willing to contribute to the maintenance (and replacement) of their gravestone.

Census Sunday: The Voisinet Family, 1860

3/1/2014

2 Comments

 
George and Rosalie (Jardot) Voisinet immigrated to the United States from France in 1852.  They are my husband's 5x great-grandparents through his paternal grandmother's (Naomi Grilliot's) line. They made the journey from their hometown of Évette, France with their children Marie Therese, Louis, Anthony, Louise, François Joseph ('Frances'), and François Charles ('Charles'). The eldest daughter, Marie-Celestine had already immigrated to America in 1847 with her husband, Pierre Burtcher and baby daughter, Marie Rose Julie (husband's 3x great-grandmother).  Their eldest son, Joseph, later came to America with his wife and children in 1865.  All of the family members initially settled in Loramie Twp, Shelby County, Ohio, near the small French-immigrant settlement of Russia (still pronounced "roo-shee").

In the 1860 Census, the family is listed with the surname 'Weisinger.'  I'm willing to bet that this difference was due to language barrier issues between the census-taker and the family - not uncommon in this area, especially with the mix of German and French immigrants who settled around here. The family lives on a farm. Only four of the children who came over with their parents remain at home; Marie Therese married in 1854, and Louis is living with his wife and child in the nearby town of Versailles.  Louise, Frances, and Charles are still attending school.

Unfortunately, this is the only U.S. Census in which George Voisinet appears. He passes away in 1866 at the age of 63.  Rosalie lives until 1875.
