Besset--Bessette

I started working on my family genealogy ten years ago in 1988. I only wish I had paid closer attention to my elders when I was a child, this would have been much easier. I have been very fortunate in getting my fathers Bessette family back to 1642 in Cahors, Aquitaine in the south of France. I Have information from their birth to death & burial sites. I had help from cousins & in particular the help of Brother Laurent Boucher C.S.C. who was the genealogist for Blessed Brother Andre , Alfred Bessette , the founder of St. Joseph's Oratory in Montreal, Canada. Bro. Boucher was able to take me back from my great great grandfather Cajetan Bessette to my 7th great grandfather Jean dit Briestout Besset b: 1642 to our present families in 1998. With many more generations to come as we near the year 2000.
