The children of Jean would hopefully still be living so we shouldn't really name on here. Perhaps best to remove there names.  :)

Rootschat has a strict no living persons policy

The second person you are seeking was b 1940 & could still be alive.  Her name plus the names of Jeans children need to be removed from your post to protect their privacy

Pleased to help where I can. Didn't go any further with George Lacerte - possibly still living Fraser Island.
(Google his name)

This I believe was the brother Victor Wilfred Lacerte born 1931 with parents - Cariboo South Unorganized Territory, British Columbia.

Philippe Lacerte 27 Head. Born Quebec. Gardener at Indian School.
Sophie Lacerte 24 Wife. Born BC.
Victor Lacerte   1 month   Son. Born BC.

obit for Victor Lacerte mentions G and B Lacerte - 16 May 1993 - shows he had 10 children.
