to Gloucester, MA, USA by 1900 and died there in 1901. Their daughter,
Anne

Bridget [Grey] Mombourquette also moved to Gloucester, and name changed
to Burke in USA. I have gleaned all info about DeCoste, Grey, and Meunier
from Notre Dame de l'Assomption and the Canadian Census. So was glad to
see photos of my ancestors' home island. Thank you!

Date: 5/10/2010 Name: Tim Location: Kitchener, Ontario E-Mail: tfoster375@rogers.com Comments: I just visited Isle Madame on mothers day weekend. I
feel in love with the place, even though my friend and I didn't get to
see all of the island(s). I've been living in Sydney, Cape breton
since just before Christmas, looking at real estate around and saw a place
in Petit de Grat. My friend had the day off and hadn't been there
either; so off we went. It is " a little piece of heaven" .
I did have a question after being there. We ended up at a cabin
at Janvrins Point and I was wondering if you can rent this cabin ??
What an amazing spot.
