Family of Bénonie Goguet/Goyette in Cohoes, New York or Massachusetts
« on: Monday 13 February 23 21:29 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon everyone,

Could someone help me find information on Bénonie Goguet/Goyette (son of François Goguet and Rose Prud'homme)? He came to the US with two of his brothers (Toussaint and Gilbert). I already have all the information on Toussaint and I created a topic for Gilbert. Bénonie married Victoria Desmarais, but I don't know where, when and who are Victoria's parents. He might have had a first marriage with an Armina/Armida before 1867, but it is hard to confirm.

Toussaint and Gilbert mostly lived in Massachusetts, but Bénonie only lived there for a short period. He then lived in Cohoes, New York (where he died).

Here is what I was able to find on him and his family:

 - He and his wife are buried in the Waterford Rural Cemetery https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VTWP-9J6

 - He died in Cohoes on October 12th, 1895 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QG2Y-Z39L

 
Census of a Belaine/Belona Goyette and an Armina/Armida that could be Bénonie:

 - 1870 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M8K4-RKM

 - 1880 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MZCY-8T6


I would need help in finding:

 - Bénonie's marriage record(s)

 - The name of his spouse(s)'s parents,

 - The death records of his spouse(s)

 - Birth, marriage and death records of his children


I am planning on ordering his death record from the New York state archives, but, if it is available online somewhere else, I would be interested.

ADDED:

I fogot to add that I found a 1900 census in Cohoes where Victoria, widow of Bénonie lives with her son Henry.

Best regards,

Martin

Hi RJ137,

Thank you for this obituary. It confirms the information I found on a death index where it is said she died in 1922 in Malone. I wasn't sure it was really her because Malone and Cohoes are pretty far from each other.

If at all possible, avoid ordering anything from the New York State Dept. of Health.  The wait time for genealogical records from there is currently about 3 years.  I would recommend trying to contact the town/city clerk where the event occurred to see if you can order from them.  They may not have it, but if they do, the wait will be much shorter.

Hi shellyesq,

You are right. I already contacted the Cohoes city clerk and I am waiting for an answer from the Malone town and/or village clerk (I was surprised to find that they have both).
