We have been researching the Furlotte line for the last 14 years. Our records start in France about 1679 and our last entry was in 2006. We have information on about 10,000 people.
We have exchanged information with many people, but still have many "holes" to fill. The family has lived in Quebec, New Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and all over the United States

The name has been spelled many different ways: Frelat, Frelatte, Ferlatte, Ferlat, Ferlot, Ferlotte, Firlotte, Firlot, Furlot, Furlotte, & Furlought
Any help would be appreciated

We are the three daughters of James G Firlotte (died Jan 1959) and Eleanor G Evans (died 1996)(date of marriage unknown)in MA. He and she resided in Dinesmore FL during the late 40's til 1959. Do you have any information?

by Pennie on 2007-10-19 17:30:10

I don't have the connection between James G. Firlotte & anyone in our files yet. I haven't been able to find a marriage in MA yet either.
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong family though
Does any of this sound familiar?
James Firlotte died in Jan 1959
Eleanor re-married in 1964 to a J.S. Hayes?
I have these names listed with these people
Ronda Lynn, Debra Lynn, Eleanor Jean, Faye June,
Rosemary Stella, Jean Marie, John William, & Sandra Jean.
Do you have a birth date or place for your father? maybe I do have him but under a different spelling or something.
Do you remember anything about your grandparents? Or where anyone was born?
I'll keep checking our records to see if I can link anyone up.

Hi, I am donna furlotte, my grandparents were stella and howard, of New Brunswick, does this mean anything to you?
Thank you

by Pennie on 2007-11-17 20:06:23

Hi Donna,
Is your father John Earl? If so then I have your grandparents listed as Howard Anthony Ferlotte & Stella Sophia Josephine Gallant. Is this right?
If this is right would you mind filling in a few empty spaces for us?
I believe you & my husband would be related, I think maybe 3rd cousins or so. I think your great great grandfather; Francis Dupuis Furlotte, & Barry's great grandfather; Pierre Firlotte, were brothers.
Is there any information that I can give you?
Penny

Hi Pennie,
My grand parents on my mothers side were Stella and Howard Firlotte. My mother is Veronica. I am curious to know when the family line came to Canada and from where? Can you send me a message because i dont havy any documents or records to follow the trace.

by Pennie on 2007-12-07 10:32:57

Hi Donna,
The first family member we have listed in Canada was Jacques Frelat. He was born in France in 1727; & he married in Quebec. We are still looking on how he came here, we haven't found it yet. He parents were Jean Frelat & Jeanne Tetron of Saintonge France.
He married Charlotte Amiot, [daughter of Charles Amiot dit Villeneuve & Angelique Metivier], the 14
July 1755 at Notre Dame de Quebec.
Almost all the Frelat, Ferlatte, Ferlot, Firlott, & Furlotte's today are from that couple.
If you want any detailed information please contact me directly at penny.c@sympatico.ca

Hi Penny,
trying to learn more about the tree.
can you help?
were do i start?
love you..

by Mckena809 on 2007-12-13 13:28:44

Eleanor Jean is my sister, daughter of James G Firlotte. Do not know grandparents names. Do know that James G Firlotte was married prior to our mother and had at least one son (Jimmy may have been his nickname). John William could be my step brother who took the Firlotte name-we know that our step brother had at least seven children -- names of a few are Donna, Sandra, John, Faye, Rhonda. All we know about our father (James G Firlotte) was that he was an auto mechanic, might have run or owned a gas station in early forties in MA. Owned a gas station/car repair in Dinsemore, FL (now part of Jacksonville, FL). All we know is that he was born in Canada per our birth certificates, but have no names of his parents.

by Pennie on 2007-12-16 16:24:10

I have a James G Firlotte in 1930 in Boston Massachusetts. Maybe this is your father.
I don't have very much information but this is what I do have
He was 24 years old. Born in Canada about 1906. He was married & living with his wife & daughter in his mother in law's house.
Wife was listed as Vivian B Firlotte. born in 1910 in MA. she was 20 years old.
Daughter is listed as Diana T. Firlotte. born in 1930 in Boston.
The head of the house is listed as [the mother-in-law] Mary A Cole. born about 1874 in Canada. She was 56 years old.

I'll try to see what else I can find on these people.

I have a Ferlatte in my research. My grandfathers mother was Marie Ferlatte and Paul Girroir was her husbands name. They lived in Haverhill Mass.
I have a funeral card for a Marie Ferlatte (found with my grandfathers stuff when he died.) It says she was married to a man named George. This is a puzzle as to why he had this card and how they may be related. Can you help? Email me at cininaz@yahoo.com

by Pennie on 2008-03-28 16:54:34

Hello,
I think I may be able to help you out with some of this. I'll send more to the email address you provided.

by imafirlotte on 2008-04-16 04:53:37

Hi everyone! I might be able to help just a little. I am Faye Firlotte and yes my dad is the step-brother that took his step dads last name. My grandmothers name was Eleanor and yes for a time they did own a auto repair shop in Jax. By the way there ended up being a total of 12 of us. Daddy's birth name was John William Hayes. He was born is Mass.

by Mckena809 on 2008-05-15 05:53:00

IAMFIRLOTTE - are you sure that his last name was Hayes and not Mayer or Meyer? His brother's last name was Meyer.

by erikastephaniedawn on 2008-06-20 22:02:23

I've dabbled a bit with the whole geneology/family history bit, and I have to tell you, I definitely feel like I'm in over my head with this one! I'm curious to know if we're tied into your branch at all - and if so, how far back can you go with our info? My grandfather was Walter Stephen Firlotte (or maybe even Stephen Walter...) and my grandmother was Irene Noel. My father is Charles Delbert, though he goes by Bert... Aside from this information, and the names of my immediate family, aunts uncles and cousins, I know nothing of our geneology. I think my grandfather died in or around 1960 (when my dad was 7 or so) and I think my grandmother passed in september of 1991... Is this enough to trace anything back?

by Pennie on 2008-06-23 09:30:25

Hello Erika,
This is what we have in our records for your line,
Erika Firlotte
Charles Delbert Ferlatte & Katherine Fay Weckworth

Stephen Walter Furlotte & Irene Noel [her mother was a Furlotte & her father was the grandson of Francis Dupuis Furlotte & Eliz. Dempsey]

Paul Francis Firlotte & Elizabeth Roy

Joseph Ferlatte & Venerade Boudreau

Jean (Jacques) Baptiste Frelatte & Catherine Savoie

Jacques Frelat & Charlotte Amiot [1st in Canada]

Jean Frelat & Marie Marguerite Jeanne
Tetron/Jetron [in France]

I'm still trying to place the James G Firlotte line
Penny

by erikastephaniedawn on 2008-06-30 00:55:47

Well, that was amazing. lol. The only thing is, I believe, on my fathers baptismal records, his last name is spelled the same as mine - Firlotte. I don't know if that bears any meaning whatsoever... But thank you for this... You've provided me with more information than anyone else has been able to!

by Pennie on 2008-06-30 10:59:43

Hi Erika,
I got the spelling for your father right from the Jacquet River Church. When the certificate was done up for the family it was most likely corrected. I have found a lot of mistakes in the original records that were later corrected.
Do you know when the certificate was done?
For your father's family we have 11 children;
1 was baptised Furlotte, 3 were baptised Ferlatte; the other 7 were baptised Firlotte
I have your father married as Firlotte & as Firlotte [legally] in our records.
I have tried to keep track of whatever original records we have found.
If there is anything else I can help with, just let me know.
Penny

by erikastephaniedawn on 2008-07-01 23:56:47

You are an absolute wealth of information! Infact, even from the last post I learned something new! To the best of my knowledge (which really isn't saying much) there were only NINE baptismals - Maynard, Loretta, Winston, Patrick (Clinton), Isabelle, Terry, Norma Jean, Charles and Mary... If there are others, they must have passed shortly after their births, or so I would assume anyhow.

I was also wondering if you were able to answer one more question for me... We have a running facebook group for Firlottes (of all varied spellings) and the rumor has surfaced more than once about there being native blood in the Firlotte blood lines... I was wondering if there was any truth to this rumor - no one seems to know! There's definitely speculation, and it seems to be coming from more than one branch. lol.

I truly appreciate all the information you can provide - I have learned so much from you! Your research into our family is amazing!

by Pennie on 2008-07-05 11:36:18

Hello Erika
I am on the Firlotte group on Facebook. I sent you the Furlotte coat of arms.
But the baptism's I have for your father's family are
Maynard Firlotte 1937
Elizabeth Loretta Firlotte 1939
Stephan Walter Winston Firlotte 1941
James Terrance Firlotte 1944
Isabel Firlotte 1946
Marie-Anne Jane Ferlatte 25 Jan. 1948- 17 Feb 1948
Patrice Clinton Ferlatte 1949
Norma Jean Firlotte 1950
Charles Delbert Ferlatte 1953
Jane Furlotte 4 March 1958
Judy Firlotte 1961

The last 2 girls I'm still looking for confirmation. They were listed to your grandparents in the church records, but I could not find baptism entries for them
As far as Native blood goes. I'm not sure we could prove it either way. There are some different stories. But very little proof.
Let me get my information in front of me & Ill try to explain. Maybe someone out there could fill in some information too.

by Pennie on 2008-07-05 12:11:28

Erika:
In our records we have a Joseph Samuel Ferlatte; son of Charles Samuel Ferlate & Elizabeth Guitard
born in Jacquet River 1 Feb 1855 & Died in Red Bluff California 30 Jan 1921
Somewhere around 1884/84 Joseph was in Shasta County California. he "married" an Edece Campbell daughter of Jeremiah B. Campbell & his wife Mary.
Joseph & Edece had 4 children
Susy Firlotte abt 1885; Martha Firlotte abt 1888
Francis Firlotte abt 1891
Samuel B.G. Firlotte 22 Feb 1897- 7 May 1908 [Information from a cemetery stone in Central Valley Cemetery]
The Census for Shasta County California for 1900
Jeremiah B. Campbell 71 yrs old Born in NJ
Parents born in NJ Farmer White
Mary Campbell wife 70 yrs old WIN Parents WIN
Horace G. Campbell son 27 yrs old WIN Father
born NJ Mother WIN
Emma D Campbell daughter-in-law 24 yrs old WIN
Father born MO? Mother WIN
Edece Firlotte daughter 33 yrs old WIN Father

Joseph Campbell son 24 yrs old WIN Father born
NJ Mother WIN
Charley Campbell grandson 11 yrs old WIN Parents

Willie Campbell grandson 7 yrs old WIN Parents

Katie Campbell grand daughter 3 yrs old WIN
Parents WIN
Susy Firlotte grand daughter 15 yrs old WIN
Parents WIN
Martha Firlotte grand daughter 12 yrs old WIN
Parents WIN
Francis Firlotte grandson 9 yrs old WIN Parents
WIN

WIN stands for WINTU Indian. You will notice that this lists the father of the Firlotte Children as WINTU also.
We are still checking on this. But several of this family are buried in the Central Valley Cemetery.
This is an Indian cemetery.

Also Joseph Firlotte is not listed in this census. We have information that says he was living in Red Bluff with his "wife" Mary Ann Kelly
They had at least 2 children
Blanche Firlotte born 14 May 1891
Bessie C. Firlotte born around the same time

These second children are not listed anywhere as native.
It would seem this is one Ferlatte/Firlotte who had Native statis.
There is more
Penny

by Pennie on 2008-07-05 13:43:13

Erika,
There is a branch of the family that spells their name "Furlought" I was informed last year that one of them had just got his Indian Card. I'll check into that a bit more & see what I can find out.

There is a Francis "Dupuis" Furlotte that was supposed to be an adopted son of Joseph Ferlatte & Venerade Boudreau. Francis was born around Carleton, Quebec. His birth date isn't really solid, but he used May 4 1811. He died in 1903 at 94 years old. But in our line the story goes that Francis was actually a Dupuis child that somehow ended up being raised by Joseph & Venerade.
We have not been able to prove this. We can find no records of a Francis Dupuis or a Francis Furlot being baptised around Carleton Quebec near the proper time
All the records just list him as the son of Joseph & Venerade. His name has always been listed as Furlotte.
I think I may know how a story like him being a "Dupuis" child may have started
This was found in the records of a Missionary Priest in Carleton, Quebec
"FRANCIS [illigitime] sauvage de Restigouche ne dupuis 11 mois, baptise 7 julliet 1814
[Francis (illegitimate) Indian of Restigouche born 11 months ago was baptised July 7, 1814]
Godparents were Thomas Labore & Marie Joseph Caplan.
The Remouski Archives say this was a common was for some priests to enter a baptism. Most Indian or half Indian children were listed as parents unknown or illegitimate. There are some cases were white children were listed as "savages", possibly because they were illegitimate.
Caplan, is a common name at the MicMac Indian Eel River Bar Reserve in NB. This may be an indication that Francis was of native descent.
My own theory is that he was the son of Joseph Ferlatte & a Native woman.
According to a relative, Rex Furlotte, "It was common knowledge in Jacquet River that Francis "Dupuis" Furlotte was Native. But it wasn't spoken about!"
I have a picture of Francis & Elizabeth Dempsey's daughter, Letitia Furlotte [Mrs Hugh King] and it is plain to see she is native
Penny

by erikastephaniedawn on 2008-07-07 21:10:55

Thank you so much Penny! It's plain to see, when you look at photo's of my grandmother (Irene, grand daughter of Francis Dupuis Firlotte) that there's some traces of native in her- just in the way that she aged... You can see it in my father too - though it's been diluted a little with me, being that my mother is blond and blueeyed. lol.


The other funny fact is that I never really know most of my aunts and uncles real names as they all went by their middle names. I've definitely learned some interesting information.

As far as Jane and Judy are concerned, I don't know if they were still borns, or late miscarriages, but I've only ever been told about Mary - who even as far as my own family recollects was actually Mary Iona... Wow - it's amazing how much can get lost over a period of five decades!

by erikastephaniedawn on 2008-07-07 21:12:15

LOL - as for the facebook group, I knew I recieved the COA from Penny, I just didn't realize it was one in the same. lol.

Hi everyone... I'm the daughter of Harold Newton Firlotte born in Gogama, Ontario on June 27, 1928, and married to my mother Mary Kocuk. The Firlotte's in Gogama, Ontario go by the spelling of Firlotte, not Ferlatte. My father's brothers were: Ken, Bob, Guy and Wally (all have passed away). His sister's Clara (passed away) and Fay. There was another sister that passed away when she was very little, her name was Susan. I have three brothers and one sister and we all have children. Not sure what other information that you might need. But I will continue to check this site and see if I can help you any further.

by slfirlotte on 2008-11-16 20:18:59

Sergeant Wallace Edmond Firlotte, who served with the Lincoln and Welland Regiment during World War II, was born and raised in Gogama. He was bestowed with six war decorations for his heroism during the war — most notably, he was one of less than ten Canadians, and the only one from his regiment, bestowed the Order of the Bronze Lion by the Crown of the Netherlands. The Prince personally presented this Order to Sgt Firlotte by Royal Decree (No. 2) on December 8, 1945.

Hi Pennie,

I am Suzie (Suzanne) Guylaine Furlotte, youngest of Melvin James Furlotte (April 25 1938 - September 9 2008) and MarieJeanne Belec Furlotte.

I am also on the Facebook group :D

Dad passed away VERY suddenly in September, breaking all of our hearts.

by Pennie on 2008-12-05 09:35:16

Suzie,
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. It is never easy to loose someone, & almost impossible to accept when it's sudden.
My father passed 11 years ago & it still hurts, but now I remember all the good things without tears but with a smile.
Please take care of yourself, our thoughts are with you.

I'll see you on Facebook

Hi Pennie,
You have done excellent work in the Ferlatte line! I have been doing research since 1971, and have learned something new...WINTU..., I would love to know more regarding the WINTU line as my family has ancestors who were Ferlatte ( and all other various spellings ), one in particular was my deceased mother-in-law. She was born in Archibald Settlement. Can you e-mail me some info?

by Pennie on 2009-05-11 05:16:20

Hello,
Can you narrow down what line you are connected to? We have a lot of information but I'm not sure where to start.
The[Wintu] branch that ended up in California descend from Joseph Samuel Ferlatte son of Charles Samuel Ferlatte & Elizabeth Guitard, of Jacquet River, NB.
But there may also be a connection to the Francis Dupuis Firlotte line in Jacquet River.
You can reach me directly at penny.c@sympatico.ca

Would it be possible to get more info on Francis Dupuis Firlotte, please? I am interested in the "Dupuis" aspect of your research. I would appreciate it.

by JustinFirlotte on 2009-06-09 04:01:57

Hi,

My name is Justin Firlotte, my Grandfather was Joseph Edgar Firlotte, born in Jacquet River around 1910-20. If you have any information I would be really interested as I have a baby Firlotte on the way and would love them to know their back ground.

My Grandfather settled in the UK after being stationed here and had 5 children.

Kind Regards

Justin

by Virg on 2009-06-12 20:33:38

Hi,

We are a Ferlatte's family from Gaspe Coast, Québec (Caplan, St-Siméon,Carleton, Bonaventure...)

André Ferlatte married Henriette Mackay but we dont have any dates.

Samuel Ferlatte was one of the André's son. He married Marie Arsenault.

Alexandre Ferlatte (born 1892)was one of the Samuel's sons. He married Virginie Robichaud and had 6 children(Albert, Alphé, Béatrice, Simone, Antoinette and Gervais)He also had a second wife (Élizabeth Poirier)

Gervais Ferlatte (1917-1985) married Thérèse Leblanc (1920-) They had 10 children (9 girls and one guy) We are 20 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren

Someone told us our ancestors was from Piedmont, Italy and I really dont know where she founds that.

:)

by Pennie on 2009-06-14 09:25:52

Hello,
All the information we have found says your ancestors came from France. I would love to talk to whoever told you Italy. Maybe we missed something.
I can help out with some dates for Andre & Henriette.
Andre Ferlat was born to Isaac Ferlat & Julienne Comeau [the 3rd of 9 children] 30 Nov 1810 in Bonaventure, Que. He died in Caplan 23 March 1891.

Hello Justin,
A new baby is such a blessing. Now let's see if we can help with his roots.
I think this is probably your grandfather.
Edgar Joseph Furlotte, born in Nash Creek 13 July 1922. Baptised also in Nash Creek 15 July 1922. His parents were James Alexander Furlotte & Elizabeth Duplessis. Edgar was the last of 6 children.
His godparents were Alexandre Babin & Gertrude Furlotte (she was Edgar's oldest sister} I have a death date of Jan. 1996 in Huntington, England.
We have nothing past his baptism. If you could fill in any blanks it would be great.
I can fill in the past names for you if this is the right person

Pennie, Do you have all this information in a book that we can purchase? This is greatttttttt stuff. Norma Doucet (Firlotte)

by Pennie on 2009-06-15 16:31:18

Hi Norma,
Thanks for correcting my mistake, I really appreciate it.
It seems that Stephen Walter Furlotte & Irene Noel were not the parents of Jane Furlotte DOB 4 March 1958 Or Judy Firlotte DOB 1961. This is from Norma Doucet [the daughter of Stephen & Irene]
As for a book. I have been trying to get one done but everytime I think we may be ready to start thinking about it we get more new information.
At this point I would settle for a Furlotte site where we could all add our own branches of the tree.

I wonder if your lines include the furlong line? I have them in the family tree.

by Pennie on 2009-07-01 12:26:46

I have a Thomas Joseph Furlong married to a Margaret Elsie Ferlotte
There is a Joseph Furlotte who's mother in law is a Florenda Ferlong.
We have also found some records that are listed in other spellings, Ferland & Furlong both.
But there is a group of Firlotte's from the Kemp Road area who are actually Ferlands. Some of their records have also been listed as Furlong.
If you are looking in teh Restigouche area [Que. or NB] maybe I can help. I have some records of cemetery stones, that may be useful.

Hello Bernadette,
I do have you in our records. Your mother is Valerie Driscoll. I have you with 2 marriages & 3 children. But I'm afraid I have some blank spaces in your information. Would you be interested in helping me fill some of them?
Have you been working on your branch of the tree?
I believe I've seen your profile on Facebook.

I am hoping someone can help me out. I am trying to find the ancestors of Joseph Furlotte & Philomene Boudreau. I believe they settled in Alberta about 1910. They had at least 3 children but there may have been more. This is a large blank space in our research. Any help would be welcome
