Notes

Tetrault

"Tetrault" or "Tetreault" seems to be most correct, taking it to be a French name and is also given as Tatro (clearly an Americanized spelling based upon the sound of the name). So, spell it more like "Tetrault", but say it more like "Tatro". (Not perfect, but close.) A "Tathro" has also been noted and is not altogether unlikely to be related.

Death record of Mary Elizabeth Tetrault.

1910 U.S. Census

Sturbridge, Worcester, Massachusetts: Page 2A; A Jacques (age: 67) and Amelia(52) Tetrault are listed with two sons, Alfred (21) and Joseph (17).; This does not match well with either of the other two census record possibilities, but then, nothing seems to be adding up at all.; It appears now that this is infact Mary's parents and older brothers. According to the information send to us by Eugene Tatro. Mary would be off and married at this point, so wouldn't show up in this census at home.

Correspondence

Hi Sue:

Thanks for e-mailing me. While I do have quite a large data base on the Tétreau/Tatro, etc. clan, there are quite a few that are not traceable back to Louis Tétreau because of a missing record, an incomplete record, or one that was not completely filled out in the first place. Unfortunately, your line is among these. I do have a Mary E Tatro born in Southbridge MA on 5 Aug 1890, her parents being Jacques and Amelia Simpson Gregoire who were married in Southbridge on 10 Oct 1887. It apparently was a 2nd marriage for both, as Amelia Gregoire's maiden name appears to be Simpson. The parents of Jacques are stated as Jacques and Sophia, but no maiden name for Sophia. It appears that he was married before to Sophie Lafforet (Laforest?) at Danielson CT on 17 Dec 1865, but there are no parents listed in this record. Jacques was born about 1845, no doubt in Canada. I scanned my data base for any Jacques born between 1840-1850 and came up empty. I'll keep my eyes open and if anything turns up in the future I'll be in touch.
