I am Lois Helene La Clair b 12/17/64 HTFD, CT, m Rabindranaught BHAIRO 10/25/82 divorced 3/2/99. My parents are John Gibney LA CLAIR, Sr. b 11/24/33 Littleton, NH to Treffley Carl La Clair (b8/12/1888 NH d5/1978 NH) & Lillian Alice GIBNEY (b1900 unknown d /1960 NH), & Wilma Helene (Hawkes) La Clair b 5/16/38 HTFD, CT to William Richard HAWKES (b8/30/1916 NY, CT, or Mass d6/1974 CT) & Helene Wilhimina POETZSCH (b1917 NY d10/1974 CT). My parents were married on 4/18/58 in Bloomfield, CT. The only other info I have on my dad's family is that his father was French Canadian Indian, with his gmother being full blood American Indain; and his mom was half English & half Irish. However I have quite a bit of info on my mom family. Helene was the third of 3 children born to Jaun Fernando Poetzsch (b.Germany d.1958 Bloomfield, CT) & Wilhelmina BENNER (b.Keizerslaurten, Germany d.Bloomfield, CT)Jaun & Wilhelmina met & married in NY round 1890 but returned to Germany & had their first 2 children. Shortly after returning to the USA in 1916 my maternal grandmother was born. Juan's parents were Wilhelmina BOYER of New Rochelle, NY & August Poetzsch of Leipzig Germany. After the birth of their first son they returned to Germany where they had 6 more children one of which Jaun. (The spanish name come from way back in our history when the Jews fled Spain) Now the good part. William Richard HAWKES (my maternal grandfather) is a direct decendant of the Earl of Kent. William's parents were Margaret Ellen TRESCOTT of NY (the daughter of Charles Trescott & Ellen CLARK (a Mayflower decendant)) & Fredrick George awkes (b in Kent England). Fredrick's parents were Albert Henery Hawkes b. Kent, England (the oldest son of the Earl of Kent) & Clara De Francesco of Newark, NJ. By marring Clara Albert had to abdicate his title to the next in line, a younger brother. Un ortunately, I do not have dates or anything else to back any of this information up, as my mother had no contact with her father from the time she was about 4 years old. The only living relative, other than my mom, that has any knowledge of accuracy of t is information is my mom's Aunt Edna ABBE (her married name), and she is 90+. I know she is related to my mom on her dad's side, but am not sure of the connection.
