Some of my Ancestors were married, worshiped, baptized their children and are buried here. Others worshiped in other churches of the Kamouraska region. Many of my Lévesque ancestors worshiped in Rivière-Ouelle where our first ancestors Robert Lévesque and Jeanne Chevalier were married, lived and are buried. My great grandparents Etienne Lévesque and Philomène Raymond dit Phocas had married in the Kamouraska region. This meant that her husband Etienne left Rivière-Ouelle to marry her. Later, they immigrated to Lawrence, Massachusetts with three of their children. It is here that their son, my grandfather Etienne, Jr. married my grand-mother Arthémise Dumais in Ste-Anne Church.

It is here that my grandmother, Arthémise Dumais who married Etienne Lévesque was Baptized in 1875 as well as all of her siblings also in the 1870's. Her grandparents and her parents had come to Ste-Anastasie from the Kamouraska region. From here, her parents brought their family to Lawrence, Massachusetts.
