GOULET/GOULAH OF TWEED, ONTARIO

Some Descendants of Joseph and Angelique (Desilets) Goulet/Goulah, of St Ambroise de Kildare, Quebec and the Tweed area of Ontario

Catholic church records for the Tweed area are in the registers of St. Michael the Archangel, in Belleville, until 1851 (LDS film 1298739).  I haven't been able to find the records from 1851 to 1869.  From 1869, Tweed records are in the registers of Sacred Heart of Mary, in Madoc (LDS film 1298801).  The registers of St. Carthaghs in Tweed begin about 1884 (LDS film 1298805). Other local records appear on LDS film 2032030. The following lists are based on information found in these church registers, supplemented by census information, Ontario and Michigan birth, marriage and death records, etc., as well as some family recollections of Noah Goulah, son of Francis, below, contained in letters sent to my aunt and my father in the early 1970s.

I looked for each of these families in the 1881 Canadian census or 1880 US census, as posted on the LDS website, http://www.familysearch.org. As these names were so often misspelled, they aren't easy to find, so I have indicated the spelling of the names when I have been able to find them in those records.

Note that a child named Mary Frances was baptized on Mar. 10, 1889, listed as born Feb. 9, 1889, with parents Francis "Goulette" and Harriet Lebarge in St. Carthaghs in Tweed, but this must be a mistake as it does not fit with the other records for this family.
