282 Alice is on the 1880 census as “12, daughter” but not on the 1870 census. She could be the same as Ellen, who was 3 on the 1870 census.

Husband and child from family documents. A note about a cemetery plot says "June 21, 1942: I gave teh deed to our old lot in the cemetery at Holy Cross, to my sister Mrs. Alice E. Walker of 732 North 17th Street Phila. Pa as the three graves that ar left are for their use.

287 Appears on the 1910 Pennsylvania Miracode Index. This is clearly the same family as in Houston on the 1920 Census, though she and her sister Florence are not living with her parents any more. Valiquitte, Gertrude Sarah (I1023)
 
288 appended to his baptismal record Family: George J. Battista / Marie I. Sigeti (F126)

293 As “Emmett” on the 1900 census.

I cannot find a death record or an obituary.

In 1929 at a Niagara border crossing, he names his mother as Mrs. Catherine Tierney from 191 Dundas St., Carbondale, PA. 
Tierney, Robert Emmett (I435)
 
294 Aside from the 6 children listed here on the 1850 census, there is also an “I. [or J.] Hoffman” living with the family, male aged 27, born in Germany; no relation is given.

He moved to Dubuque, Iowa, and the named changes to Bisanz somehow. Further name changes resulted in Biesanz in Minnesota.

297 At his birth, his father was 35, and his mother 25.

This seems to be his family arriving arriving on 17 May 1828 in NYC from Le Havre, on the SS Henri IV:  Louis Rhame, age 54, farmer; Françoise, age 44 (parents, presumably, though her name doesn't match Anthony's mother in the marriage record); Antoine, age 19, Louis, age 17; Françoise, age 11; Mary Ann, age 9; and François, age 4.

A note by the transcriber says that "Rhame family may also have ties to Romagny-sous-Rougemont." It's not clear why the transcriber included this note, but a number of other passengers on the ship were from this small area. Romagny-sous-Rougemont is in the Alsace region of France (near the upper Rhine). It is now in the township of Rougemont-le-Château, Territoire de Belfort in Franche-Comté.

According to the the St. Louis Catholic Church Archivist: 1 June 1836 Antonius Ram, son of Ludovicus (Ludwig or Louis) and Maria Francesca Claire, and Victoria Rusch, daughter of Joseph and Maria Gangloff: marriage performed by Fr. Alexander Pax, no witnesses given.  

I assume that Françoise was altered to Francesca by the clerk.

The 1867 Buffalo directory lists an “Anthony Rame, Farmer” that might be his son, living at “Bird Road n. Del.” I don't see the name at all, however, in any other city directory going all the way back to 1844. 
Ramé, Anthony (I761)
 
298 at the sanitarium of tuberculosis Conley, Edward R. (I486)
 
299 At the time this was known as St. Peter’s French Church, Buffalo, Erie Co., New York Bisantz, Bernice Celestine (I736)
 
300 At the time this was named St. Peter's French Church. Valiquette, Martha Anne (I731)
 
301 Baden-Württemberg is in the lower Rhine (Bas-Rhine) valley, near what is now the French border.

In the 1880 census he is dead, but his family's birth places give an estimate of when this family immigrated. The three oldest (aged 26, 24, 19) were born in Baden; the next, aged 17, was born in New York. This places immigration around 1861-63.

315 both his parents were born in Ireland, and he had been married for 20 years. Tierney, John (I440)
 
316 Both of her parents are listed on the 1880 census has having been born in Canada, and she is listed as having been born in New York, presumably Buffalo. Valiquette, Josephine (I1012)
 
317 both of her parents were born in Switzerland. Barry, Theresa C. (I503)
 
318 Both of his parents were born in Ireland. Smith, John J. (I475)
 
319 Both of his parents were born in Missouri as well, according to the 1920 census. Owen, Russell S. (I1095)
 
320 Buffalo Ward 11, Erie Co., New York, USA; aged  Mary Ellen (I902)
 
321 buried on the same date as her husband. Daudin, Helène (I288)
 
322 Called "Mary" in later life, but perhaps "Louisa" earlier.

According to the 1900 census, she had been married for two years before being widowed, had had 2 children, of which only one was living in 1900. This all matches.

This is from the 1900 Census, all living at 690 Michigan Ave. in Buffalo:

Family 343:
Emil Zaepfel, head, 54, born in Germany, parents born in Germany; year of citizen ship is 1872.
Mary Zaepfel, wife, 45, born in NY, parents born in Germany

Family 344:
Fries, Victoria, ?head, 51, born in NY, parents born in Germany
Fries, Victor, son, 21
Fries, Walter, son, 18
Fries, Louis, son, 15
Fries, Joseph, son, 13
Fries, Oscar, son, 10
Fries, Blonde?, daughter, 8
Bizantz, Antony E, nephew, 25
Bizantz, Louisa M, sister, 56, and widow, born in NY, parents born in Germany.

Both Victoria Fries and Louisa Bizantz are widows. Who is Emil Zaepfel? The name comes from the part of Germany (Alsace) that Rame and Rusch come from. Since the Zaepfel family has a different number, I assume that Emil Zaepfel is not related to the Rame sisters of Louisa and Victoria, but was just a boarder or friend from back home.

Since “relation to head of household” goes by family number, Antony Bisantz is Victoria Fries’ nephew, and Louisa Bizantz is Victoria’s sister. This matches. Antony Bizantz is Victora Fries’ nephew--her sister Louisa’s son. This is Anthony E. Bizantz III, who would marry Martha Valiquette in 1902, two years away. 
Ramé, Maria Louisa "Louisa" (I740)

325 Children Mattie, Julia (M), and Mary appear on the 1875 NYState census for this family, but not on the 1880 US census.

According to those buried in the Doll plat at the United German and French Cemetery, I guess that "Mattie" is "Ida M. Doll, 1870-75." Maybe not, though: the couple had 13 children, of which just 8 were still living in 1900. 
Bisantz, Mary Ann (I770)
 
326 Children Mattie, Julia (M), and Mary appear on the 1875 NYState census for this family, but not on the 1880 US census.

According to those buried in the Doll plat at the United German and French Cemetery, I guess that "mattie" is "Ida M. Doll, 1870-75." Maybe not, though: the couple had 13 children, of which just 8 were still living in 1900.

327 conductor on the Railroad. Was living in the same house in 1935 Fennie, Joseph Edward (I393)
 
328 Could have have been on the 1920 census as “Frank Cook”? There is a Frank Cook, married to a Margaret, with children named Jeanette (2) and Theresa (1) on the 1920 census. Cuoco, Frank (I276)

349 Ellen is on the 1870 census, but not on the 1880 census; she could be the same as Alice, who is not on 1870, but is 12 on the 1880 census. Jordan, Ellen (I931)
 
350 exact date according to gravestone Books, Katharine “Kit” Blanche (I954)
 
351 Family history places his birth in Alsace. Date is from from likely immigration record.  Ramé, Anthony (I761)
 
352 Family history says that he immigrated from Abruzzi, that he came over at a very young age without his parents, brought over by someone else. He remembered having to work in the potato fields as a boy. He wouldn’t eat potatoes because they were for pigs in Italy—the only way he would eat them was as homefries. He said wouldn’t go back to Italy because it was too a hard of a life there.

It is not evident on his immigration record whom he would have come over with specifically, but he is travelling with a group of nine people from Ferrazzano. He is the only one going to Buffalo, to see his brother Giovanni at 258 Seneca St. Several others are travelling to Syracuse.

His brother Epifanio (as Anthony) appears in the 1910 census at 259 Seneca, but Serafino does not, though he was in the country by then, married to Mary Battista a year later.

He was recorded on the 1920 census as "Alien," on the 1925 NY state census as "Cit." and on the 1930 census as "Naturalized."

He got a job on the Lehigh Valley railroad after his brother Anthony (Epifanio).

In the 1930 census there is also a Michael “Leceno,” (Lacino), aged 41, living in the household as a boarder. He was married to their sister Dorothea.

356 from 1880 census O’Keefe, Mary (I460)
 
357 from 1900 census, where she's aged 43--it says "Oct. 1965," which must be one decade off. Moser, Anna E. (I721)
 
358 from 1940 census Palermo, Dorothea (I257)
 
359 from death record Valiquette, Florence A. (I975)
 
360 from likely immigration record Clerc, Maria Françoise (I1002)
 
361 from likely immigration record Ramé, Louis (I1147)
 
362 From Rochester, NY. The 1900 census for this family is very hard to read. It is clear, however, that Michael and Adeline are there, next to two Reinharts. Ward 19, District 120, Rochester, Monroe County.

I do not see a son "John" on the 1910 census; could the Michael there be John? 
Clark, Michael (I984)
 
363 From the St. Louis Catholic Church Archivist:  21 June 1836 Antonius Ram, son of Ludovicus (Ludwig or Louis) and Maria Francesca Claire and Victoria Rusch, daughter of Joseph and Maria Gangloff marriage performed by Fr. Alexander Pax, no witnesses given.  

A Joseph Rusch is buried in the United French & German cemetery, b. 1810, d. 1852, with his wife Franziska, d. 1889. This might be his son. 
Rusch, Joseph Sr. (I850)
 
364 From the St. Louis Catholic Church Archivist:  21 June 1836 Antonius Ram, son of Ludovicus (Ludwig or Louis) and Maria Francesca Claire, and Victoria Rusch, daughter of Joseph and Maria Gangloff marriage performed by Fr. Alexander Pax, no witnesses given.   Gangloff, Maria (I851)
 
365 He and his brother William moved to and living in Altoona, PA for most of their lives. Presumably they moved there, in part, for work; he worked on the railroad. He is living with his wife and in-laws in the 1910 and 1920 censuses in Altoona. Tobin, John Louis "Jack" (I895)
 
366 He apparently moved to Los Angeles, CA. Farnes, Eugene (I367)
 
367 he appears aged 10/12 on the 1880 census Jordan, Matthew (I31)
 
368 He appears aged 10/12 on the 1880 census. Since their son Matthew was clearly born in 1882, this Matthew must have died young. Jordan, Matthew (I31)
 
369 He applied for citizenship on 20 July 1843, and was naturalized on March 15, 1845. Jordan, Matthew (I929)
 
370 He arrived, I believe, on the ship “Marco Minghetti” on March 16, 1900. He was single at the time, and aged 23; his last Census is given as Ferrazzano; this is the same as that given by his younger brother Epifania as well.

The ship’s manifest says that he was bound for “Pittsburgh," but he must have altered this plan quickly, as he appears on the 1900 census in Buffalo. He says, though, that he was going to visit a cousin "Giacomo" or "Giovanni" Fagin [?] at no. 854 in a street in Duquesne, Pa, which is a borough of Pittsburgh. The next person, Angelo DeMario DeNero, gives the same address, saying that his brother, of the same last name, also lives there. Angelo had been in the US from 1892-98 in Buffalo.

His younger brother Epifanio' immigration record clearly says that he is bound for Buffalo to find his brother Giovanni. 
Palermo, Giovanni “John” DiCarmino (I259)
 
371 He arrived, I believe, on the ship “Marco Minghetti” on March 16, 1900. He was single at the time, and aged 23; his last Census is given as Ferrazzano; this is the same hometown as that given by his younger brother Epifania as well.

The ship’s manifest says that he was bound for “Pittsburg,” but he must have altered it; his younger brother Epifania clearly says that he is bound for Buffalo to find his brother Giovanni.

Family, however, has not heard of him.

According to the SSDI, a John Palermo died in New Jersey, and was born in 09 Sep 1877. It may not be the same Person. 
Palermo, Giovanni “John” DiCarmino (I259)
 
372 He died as a toddler, reputedly of meningitis. Bisantz, Norman Joseph (I733)
 
373 He died at about age 6 Clark, James (I1077)
 
374 He died very suddenly; he was digging a hole for a fencepost, and had a heart attack. Colpoys, Edward "Eddie" J. (I784)
 
375 He enlisted in the Army, in the Signal Corps. He was admitted to this hospital in July of 1944 for acute bronchitis and fibrinous pleuritis contracted while on duty, and was given a discharge from the Army after 2 months. Jenczka, Richard Ronald (I212)
 
376 He immigrated from Ireland. In Aug. 1848 he came to Erie County. On August 25, 1848, he applied to become a U.S. citizen (family document); he was sworn in court as one on 5 Sept. 1850 (family document).

Because of the date of immigration, he is likely to be a famine immigrant.

The family does not appear on the 1850 US census for Black Rock (Buffalo), Erie County.

The family appears on the 1855 NYState census in Buffalo (they are the only Thomas and Mary Tobin family there). Thomas was 49, and born in Ireland; Mary was 35, also born in Ireland. This gives estimated birth dates for them.

The oldest child here, Ann, aged 13, was born in Niagara Co.; those younger than here were born in Erie Co.

There is an outside chance he fought in the Civil War; several Thomas Tobins from NY appear in service records.

In the 1865 NYState census his wife Mary was a widow. She is living with daughter Mary Casey (28, who was not present in 1855–perhaps she had moved out by then) and her husband Michael Casey, their children Elizabeth Casey (5), Thomas Casey (0); and her children Thomas Tobin (11), and Sarah Tobin (8). Mary and her daughter Mary Casey are both here said to have been born in Ireland. And all here are listed as “alien.” 
Tobin, Thomas (I901)
 
377 He immigrated on Feb. 25, 1901 on the ship "Columbia," which had embarked from Naples, Italy. His last given census in Italy was Ferrazzano. This is right next to Campobosso, in the center of Italy. He was aged 20 at the time. He gives his destination as Buffalo, New York. He says he is coming to visit his brother Giovanni, who must be the one whom family history records as “John.”

He does not seem to be traveling with family, but he is traveling with 13 other people from Ferrazzano and Campobasso. The person in the line above his is also traveling to Buffalo: Filippo Baranello, aged 21.

His WWI draft registation card confirms that he was born that same year, and gives a more precise birthdate. I take his name as spelled from his gravestone and his immigration record.

The 1920 census gives his citizenship as 1900—in Pennsylvania.

He got a job on the Lehigh valley railroad. He would always ask for a pass for the family to go shopping in NY.

There is no “Angelo” (as his child) with this family on the 1920 census, though family history places him there. Could Thomas also have been called Angelo?

He does not appear with his wife in the 1930 census: could he have died that early? 
Palermo, Epifanio "Anthony" (I258)
 
378 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I189)
 
379 He is living with just his sister Joanna in the household of Jane Clinton Tobin, Thomas Alfred (I722)
 
380 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I381)
 
381 He is named on her immigration record, that she is going to see her brother Guiseppi Argenio in Buffalo, New York. He appears in the 1905 census as Joseph. Argenio, Guiseppi "Joseph" (I123)
 
382 He is not living with the family in the 1880 census. Tierney, Michael (I471)
 
383 He is the Head of the Household for his wife and two of her siblings, Lawrence and Mary, in the 1870 census. Moran, Michael (I1122)
 
384 He lived at 4916 5th Ave., Altoona, PA, 16602. “I think his wife is still alive--[I] don’t think of her first name but she & Bill used to always send me Christmas cards until last year or so.” (note by Anna Tobin before her death in 2001). Tobin, William Thomas (I955)
 
385 He lived in Buffalo, on Hoyt St., maybe? I only know his name from family notes. Willman, Leo (I828)
 
386 He may be living in Montana in 1900, aged 42. Gurrell, James (I489)
 
387 He must have died young. Palermo, Carminem (I268)
 
388 He ran a whiskey business in Buffalo. Jordan, James (I939)
 
389 He remained living with his mother for her whole life. Collins, Anthony (I545)
 
390 He served in WWI for Italy. He came to America without Dorothea; she stayed home with family. Then he was drafted into the US Army in 1917, and served for a year. They had one child who died of pneumonia in Italy.

His wife apparently would not come to the US until her parents died. Judging by the censuses, this seems to have been between 1930 and 1935. During WW1 he registered for the draft, describing himself as an Italian citizen, with a wife and child.

In 1930, he was living with the Palermo family. In 1940, he (aged 51) and Dorothea (aged 54, born in Italy) are living with the Pozzuto family (his brother Epifanio’s daughter Felicia). He had been living in the same house in 1935. 
Licino, Michael "Mike" (I260)
 
391 He was 19, and had completed 2 years of college. Jenczka, Richard Ronald (I212)
 
392 He was a fireman in the Buffalo Fire Dept., and was killed in the propane explosion on Division St. on Dec. 26, 1983. It was the worst Fire Dept. accident in Buffalo history.

From firehouse.com: “As firefighters arrived at the scene of a reported propane leak in a three-story radiator warehouse, a massive explosion occurred, killing five firefighters instantly and injuring nine others, three of them critically. The force of the blast blew Ladder 5's tillered aerial 35 feet across the street into the front yard of a dwelling. Engine 1's pumper was also blown across the street with the captain and driver pinned in the cab with burning debris all around them. Engine 32's engine was blown up against a warehouse across a side street and covered with rubble. Two civilians were also killed and another 60 to 70 were injured. While operating at the rescue effort, another 19 firefighters were injured. The blast and ensuing fire ignited 14 residences and damaged as many as 130 buildings over a four-block area. The explosion occurred when an employee was moving an illegal 500-lb. propane tank with a forklift truck and dropped it, breaking off a valve. The gas leaked out, found an ignition source, and the explosion occurred.” 
Colpoys, Matthew (I785)
 
393 He was a student at Canisius College. He listed his next of kin as “Agnes Usiak.” Jenczka, Richard Ronald (I212)
 
394 He was a widower in the 1920 census, and his youngest child, Rocco, was 3 4/12 years. Census was taken January 12, so he was born about Sept. 1916. This is also the date at which his wife would still have been alive. This also means that he immigrated between Sept. 1916 and Jan. 1920.

Also according to this census, he became a citizen in 1914.

The household in the 1920 census has three heads to it; the other two are Fortunato Catelano (with wife and 5), and Ralph Perrillo (with wife and 3). It is at 271 Seneca St.

The place of birth for all of his children is also named as Italy in the 1920 census.

Two of his children, Anna and Joseph, married two children of Angelo Battista. 
Vaccaro, Angelo (I296)
 
395 He was an artist who drew pen-and-ink drawings of scences around Buffalo. Bisantz, Peter Francis (I734)
 
396 He was born in 1917, which is the same year that the Pasquale Calderio who might be his father Alphonse’ brother died.

He served in the Army during the early 1940s, but he never went overseas. He got married in 1941, and then wasn’t drafted at the time because he had a child. He did serve in the army as a cook during the war, however, for troops on trains.

Their first car was a 1952 Buick. 
Caldiero, Pasquale "Patrick" (I99)
 
397 He was born in New York (presumably Buffalo), but both his parents on the 1880 census are listed as born in France.

After the 1880 census, he and his wife seem to disappear. 
Bouquard, Joseph (I1013)
 
398 He was called “Serafin Jr.” Palermo, Carmine "Charlie" (I218)
 
399 He was stationed in New Orleans during WW2, and married a lawyer from there. Palermo, Carmine "Charlie" (I266)
 
400 He worked on the ocean liner for Esso, and lived in Connecticut.

When he bought the house in Connecticut, he got a U-Haul when J&J, his children, graduated from the boarding school they were in in Buffalo (they were 11 mos. apart). 
Bisantz, Bertram L. (I735)
 
401 He would seem to be one of the children who died young. Tobin, John (I74)
 
402 He's a tinsmith in the 1870 census. In the 1850 census, his older brother John is a tinsmith. Vogt, Peter Adam (I811)
 
403 Head of Household; was a citizen by this time; lived in US for 17 years; worked for Lehigh Valley RR Palermo, Serafino “Jackie” (I138)
 
404 Henry is on the 1870 census, but not on the 1880 census; he may have died. Jordan, Henry (I932)
 
405 her age is taken from her marriage record, where she is about 22 Barbier, Marie Thérèse (I1154)
 
406 Her ancestry and her husband's is thoroughly Québécois, French-Canadian.

The marriage record names her as “Martine Terrien. fille Mineure de Toussaint Terrien. forgeron. et de Josephine Guillet de cette paroisse”

Also perhaps called Margaret, as on the 1875 NY State census. Her last name comes from her son Joseph's grave stone, in Toledo.

"Terrian" on her son Moses' death certificate. 
Terrien, Martine “Martha” (I776)
 
407 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I100)
 
408 Her last name comes from her son Jimmy’s Social Security application. O’Hara, Alice (I1137)
 
409 Her last name is given in her husband’s obituary. Cusack, Anna (I502)
 
410 Her maiden name “Gurrell” is mentioned in her husband’s 1912 obituary. Her obituary mentions a sister, Elizabeth Conly, in Scranton. Elizabeth Gurrell Conley died in Scranton in 1953, the daughter of John Gurrell and Margaret Donahoe.

According to the 1900 census they had been married 14 years.

The New York State death index records her name as Margaret A. Fennie. 
Gurrell, Anna (I418)
 
411 Her name appears on the 1855 NY State census with her son and his family. Catherine (I933)
 
412 Her name is appended to her husband Joseph's baptismal record. Corigliano, Angeline (I344)
 
413 Her name was originally "Clerc," and there is also a Clerc family in Romagny-sous-Rougemont records. Later, she was “Claire.”

A note by the transcriber of the immigration record says that "Rhame family may also have ties to Romagny-sous-Rougemont." This is where the couple’s children were born. A number of other passengers on the ship were from this small area. This area is in the Alsace region of France (near the upper Rhine); now it's in the township of Rougemont-le-Château, Territoire de Belfort in Franche-Comté.

This seems to be her family arriving on 17 May 1828 in NYC from Le Havre, on the SS Henri IV:  Louis Rhame, age 54; Francoise, age 44 (parents, presumably, though her name doesn't match Anthony's mother in the marriage record); Antoine, age 19, Louis, age 17; Francoise, age 11; Mary Ann, age 9; and Francois, age 4.

From the St. Louis Catholic Church Archivist:  21 June 1836 Antonius Ram, son of Ludovicus (Ludwig or Louis) and Maria Francesca (i.e., Françoise) Claire and Victoria Rusch, daughter of Joseph and Maria Gangloff marriage performed by Fr. Alexander Pax, no witnesses given.   
Clerc, Maria Françoise (I1002)
 
414 Her parents are named on her SSI file. Burke, Teresa Marie (I394)
 
415 Her parents had another child named Marguerite bap. 17 Feb. 1674, apparently not the same person. Voyne, Marguerite (I188)
 
416 Her parents on the 1910 census are described as “Hol. Dutch”; confirmed on the 1930 census where both parents are born in Holland. Vandenburg, Kathleen (I1027)
 
417 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I122)
 
418 Hinman Avenue in North Buffalo was named after him. He was a Principal at Elk St. School. Hinman, John Eugene (I1121)
 
419 His 1900 census entry is very difficult to read; it is at the bottom of the page prior to his wife and children, all of which are readable. Marnie is “wife,” however, so he must exist down there.

According to the 1900 census, he was born in New York, and his parents were both born in Germany; and he was a book keeper. 
Farnes, Anthony (I1054)
 
420 His age is from his likely immigration record Ramé, François (I1150)
 
421 His ancestry and his wife's is thoroughly Québécois, French-Canadian.

The 1845 Marriage Record gives his name as “Octave Valiquet,” but this must be him, since his wife’s name is “Martine Terrien.” His marriage record names him as “fils Majeur V. Albert Valiquet et de Suzanne Charbonneau de la paroisse de Saint Jerome.”

His son John’s 1919 passport application names him as James O. Valiquette.

There are three different birth records in the Basilique Notre Dame in Montréal, Québec for a Joseph Octave Valiquet, none of which match his parents. In 1821, Joseph Octave (1) was born to François Valiquet and Veronique Hébert. In 1827, Joseph Octave (2) was born to Pierre Valiquet and Françoise Turiot. In 1828, Joseph Octave (3) was born to, again, François Valiquet and Veronique Hébert, no doubt because (1) had died.

He is “Villket” on the 1870 Census, which is a key to this family: but, he has no first name there. His full name comes from the 1880 census, where he is “Vilquett.” The name is also “Valiquet.” His family before the 1870 census, however, is a real stumper--help would be appreciated!

Family history says that he was born in Canada, presumably Quebec. One son’s census, however (George C., in 1910) says that both his parents were born in Vermont. Their son Moses married a woman from Canada, and their daughter Josephine’s husband was French.

In the 1870 household, he is living with his wife, his daughters Josephine and Emelia, and his younger sons; the older ones must have moved out.

The 1875 New York State census says that he and his wife (as "Villigut") were born in Canada, but that their daughter Amelia was born in Onondaga County, and that the rest of their children were born in Monroe County.

In 1890, James Valiquette, Ship’s Carpenter, is living at 204 West Forest Ave. in Buffalo, according to the 1890 city directory.

There is a Joseph Valiquette buried at the French and German Cemetery: Valiquette, Joseph b: 1847 d: 1912; see here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=74830196 
Valiquette, Octave "James" (I775)
 
422 His ancestry is throughly is thoroughly Québécois, French-Canadian.

He was a carpenter, as his father was; he was living at 153 Clinton Ave. in Buffalo in 1890, according to the city directory.

In the 1910 Census, he and his wife were living with their daughter and her husband. It says “Canada (Fr)” for place of his parent’s birth, referring to the place, and the language they spoke. The 1920 Census, however, says that his father was born in France and his mother in Canada. 
Valiquette, Peter (I738)
 
423 His family was from the Haut-Rhine, the upper Rhine region in eastern France, and he married a woman whose father had immigrated from the same region.

According to the 1873 Buffalo City Directory, he was living at 56 Genesee St. that year.

He died two days before his son Tony was born. 
Bisantz, Anthony Edward Jr. (I739)
 
424 His name and age (32) and profession (Journalier–a day-laborer) are mentioned in his brother Louis’s marriage record. Ramé, Antoine (I1164)
 
425 His name and age 24) are mentioned in his sister Marie’s 1802 wedding record. Clerc, George (I1160)
 
426 His name is from family notes only, not a census; can he actually be another one of the brothers?

According the the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia, “The Congregation de Notre-Dame de Lourdes . . . is a community devoted to the education of youth and the care of the sick and infirm. It was founded at Renaix, Flanders, in 1830, by Etienne Modeste Glorieux, a Belgian priest, and approved in 1892 by Leo XIII. The congregation, numbering 518 members, has its mother-house at Oostacker, Belgium, and 30 filial houses, one in the United States and the others in Belgium and Holland. The American house is at South Park, in the Diocese of Seattle, Washington, where are 13 Brothers in charge of a house of studies and day- and boarding-school for boys.”

The congregation in Seattle must be where Brother Alderick was located. 
Valiquette, Alderick (I1090)
 
427 His name is not in the SSDI. Palermo, Epifanio "Anthony" (I258)
 
428 His name is not in the SSDI. Palermo, Giovanni “John” DiCarmino (I259)
 
429 His name is on his children's bith records and his sons’ Social Security applications (Serafino’s, Epifanio’s, and Giovanni’s). He was born in Italy, presumably in Campobosso as his children were, and it seems clear that he did not immigrate.

All of their children named their oldest sons Carmine and their eldest daughters Felicia. 
Palermo, Carmine (I223)
 
430 HIs obituary gives his wife’s maiden name and his children, and that the Rev. Raymond J. Burke is his grandson.

He was born in Ireland, and the family appears on the June 1875 census for Erie County. His son Anthony’s is given as 6/12. This gives a very tight window for the immigration date. 
Burke, Patrick J. (I495)
 
431 his wife Ellen is widowed on the 1880 census. Tierney, Michael (I471)
 
432 his wife is a widow on this census.  Golden, John (I451)
 
433 His wife is widowed on the 1865 census, but his daughter Joanna was born in 1862. Tobin, Thomas (I901)
