One LaBrier Family Genealogy
Genealogy begins as an Interest, Becomes a Hobby;
Continues as a Vocation, Takes over as an Obsession,
And in it's Last Stages, Is an incurable Disease.

My La Brier Family Genealogy
An Adventure of One Family in North America
Over 400 Years

This is a history of my La BRIER family, as I know it thus far. Our first knowledge of our family begins in France during the early 1600's. It follows the movement of our family into North America to Quebec City Quebec and beyond.

There our family flourishes and branches out in many directions. My ancestors eventually left Quebec and made their way to early Detroit with Cadillac. From there they traveled into the Northern part of Louisiana into the Illinois. Here they settled and prospered and raised their families.

Some remained in the Kaskaskia region, others found their way across the Mississippi and helped establish the town of Ste. Genevieve Missouri. Others spread throughout North America into Oklahoma, Texas, California, Oregon and other states. My Grandfather Anthony "Tony" La Brier, settled in North Dakota where he established himself in varied business ventures

Circumstances in the mid 1900's caused him to again attempt to re-establish himself, so he moved his family to Alberta Canada, which just a few years earlier had been part of the North West Territories.

My Grandfather Anthony (Tony) La Brier (LaBruyere, LaBriere) was born in Kaskaskia Illinois in the year 1860. His mother was Irish, her name was Allis (Alice?) Bradley, and his father was Peter (Pierre) LaBruyere (LaBrier) who was also born in Kaskaskia in 1824.

These pages show our family history from France to Quebec, early Detroit, Kaskaskia and Ste. Genevieve Missouri. My family branch, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, North Dakota, Alberta Canada. We are always looking for family information and welcome inquiries from family. Please sign my guest book below, I will respond to any questions to the best of my ability.
