- "The Sons of Jean Baptiste Louis Quenneville and Mary Fortin"
This is a family photograph circa 1904 of the 10 sons of my paternal great-great-grandparents. These would be the brothers of my great-grandmother however she and her two sisters are not shown. This family had emigrated from St. Anicet, Quebec, Canada in 1891 and these are the members that all relocated to Holyoke, Massachusetts. Some of their names have been shortened or 'Americanized' so I will list out what I know with full name in brackets. The name descriptions (in white) were already on this existing photograph, I did not add them on.

what a family tree :) very nice history!!!
They sure had large families in the olden days - I guess without a TV or an Xbox they had to do something with their time :)
Another great photo!
I imagine that they where Catholic, so the family planning was left in God's hands, so to speak.
