The children of Prudent Loiselle migrate to Chile, Dakota’s and various points of New England …

Prudent Loiselle-Sinot is 6th Generation of Loisel’s in Canada, descendant of Louis Loisel and Marguerite Charlot. Aurora Loiselle is great granddaughter of Moise Loiselle, and 10th generation descendant of Louis Loisel. Aurora has a great collection of letters exchanged by Veronique Poulet and the children of Prudent Loiselle as the family was separated by the distance places that their lives took them. Aurora had copies of many of these photos and letters for display at the Louis Loisel descendants meeting in Jun 2013. A copy of a presentation that she created is attached here.
