GENETTE, JENETTE (JANOTTE, JEANNOTTE, GENET) FAMILY

GENETTE, JENETTE (JANOTTE, JEANNOTTE, GENET) FAMILY

In Clinton Co., N.Y., in the records of St. Joseph's

Corbeau, Coopersville, was another couple, contemporary

with Anselm Jeannotte and Helene Durand, by the name of

Olivier JACON DIT JANOTTE and Flavie Rivard. This may be a

brother of Anselm and indicate a "dit" name for the family.

Jacon would seem to be a misspelling of Giasson or

Chiasson. It is also found spelled as Yacon, Jacon, Gerson

and Gacon. For some of the members of the family who

remained in Clinton Co.,there are tombstones at St. Joseph's

Corbeau, Coopersville.

The following Canadian and Coopersville records provide

a background for this family:
