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.

The Darke, Auglaize & Shelby County Alsatians from the " Territoire de Belfort " really stick together in Ohio ! Not only do I have family in Evette,and Salbert but I have a Fougeron descendant who married Marie Louise Voisinet in USA . In the 1860's , there was a Voisenit family in Buffalo , NY & in Tonawanda , NY that were property owners ( farming ?) of Tonawanda, NY. By 1870, this family settled in Indiana . Marie Louise Voisenet married Augustus Michael Doll on 27 April 1880 in Elkhart, Indiana . Because of this connection, I have made notes of Voisinets from reading FHL microfilms in the parish of Étueffont parish records. I will get them to you via email later.
