Post subject:  Prosper Garcin & Elizabeth Hooper

Looking for info on my ancestors (Prosper D. Garcin and wife Elizabeth Hooper) from Lamaline, Newfoundland and maybe moved to Rose Blanche in the mid 1800s.

Hello,
For you to consider...
Do you have or do you know someone with a membership to Ancestry.ca. There are two Garcin family trees that have the info you are looking for. Also notations such as Prosper's birth place in France and the fact that Prosper and Elizabeth met in St. Pierre and married in Lamaline.
If you cannot get to these Garcin family trees, let me know and I will post the info.
