Hello Mariann! Very nice to hear from you. I posted this years ago and I have filled in quite a few of the gaps since then but there is still much to find out about the Fouzie clan.
If you are on Ancestry.com, I have a public tree there under Fouzie.
My great grandfather was James Elgin Fouzie and he was a brother to Lydia. Do you still live in the eastern Ontario area?
Probably the most significant thing that I have learned is that our name is spelled incorrectly. We are not Fouzie but rather Foisy and the family hails from Varennes, Quebec and the general area. Once I was able to make that connection, I started to fill in the gaps. DNA testing has really helped as well and we now have a pretty solid DNA circle with the common ancestor being Joseph Foisy.
Let me know if you are not on Ancestry and I will see what I can do to help you! Always happy to meet another cousin.
Best Regards,
Shirley Fouzie
