  Name	Paul Edward Lalonde  [17]
  	Paul Lalonde is listed as "Paul Lalonde, Sr" in his son's Bernard's marriage record in 1921. The only other reference to Paul's middle name is in a life claim by the SSA which states the name was modified on 18 June 1976. While Elmer is not a typical French Canadian name, his mother Christy McGinnis was Scottish and Elmer (of Germanic British origin) is common in British Canada. Because Paul's first son was named Paul Elmer Lalonde and used a suffix of Jr., it is a reasonable assumption that the son's name was the same as the father based on the tradition of using the Sr/Jr suffix. Because of the marriage reference pre-dated the SSA note, Paul Lalonde's middle name is recorded in this tree as Elmer.
  Occupation	15 Apr 1940	Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine   [19, 20]
  	Superintendent at Lewiston High School
  	The 1940 U.S. Census lists his occupation as engineer. He made $1575 annual salary, which was among the highest in the neighborhood. His home was valued in the 1940 census as $70,000.

  Died	Abt 12 Mar 1947	Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine   [2, 10, 20]
  	Doris Lalonde believes Paul died sometime after WWII. Lucille Lalonde believes it was around 1948. His name is not on the tombstone at Mount Hope Cemetery where his wife Mary, son Frank, and his son's wife Alma are buried. Records show he was buried in the family plot (M-71) at Mount Hope Cemetery in Lewiston, ME. but his name is not on the headstone for the plot. The 1940 U.S. Census shows him living at 724 Lisbon St in Lewiston as a widower. SSI Death Records show a Paul Edward Lalonde, SSN 007221128, with birth date of 2 Aug 1869 and birth place as Cornwall Ont, Canada on a SSA life claim submission. There is a note that states "18 Jun 1976: Name listed as Paul Edward Lalonde". The SSA claim date is 12 Mar 1947 which corresponds to both family interviews. This source and date will be used until more accurate death date, certificate, or death registry can be found.

  Father	Francis LALONDE,   b. 9 Jan 1841, Saint Polycarpe, Soulanges, Canada ,   d. Yes, date unknown
  Mother	Christy MCINNIS,   b. 10 Dec 1841, Saint Polycarpe, Soulanges, Quebec, Canada ,   d. 28 Dec 1909, Stormont County, Ontario, Canada  (Age 68 years)
  Married	4 Nov 1861	Saint Polycarpe, Soulanges, Quebec, Canada   [11, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25]
  	She signed the marriage registry. The signature appears to be Christy McInnis. Another witness' signature also appears to be "McInnis", but the handwritten "I" is most likely a stylized "G". All public records show the name as "McGinnis, including the 1901 Canadian Census where she is listed under her last name.

  Family	Mary NERON,   b. 1871, Cornwall, Ontario, Canada ,   d. 1933, Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine  (Age 62 years)
  Married	7 Jan 1891	Cornwall, Stormont, Ontario, Canada   [26, 27, 28, 29]
  	Address: Saint Columban's Church
  	In the parrish entry, the priest, George Corbet, wrote the date wrong as follows: "On the seventh day of January one thousand eight hundred and ninety I the undersigned priest after one publication and a dispensation from two married Paul Lalonde; 21 years, son of Francis Lalonde and Christy McGinnis; to Mary Neron; 19 years, daughter of John Neron and Matilda Begin. Witnesses John Primeau, Alice Neron". As both the preceding and following entries for 7 Jan 1891 stated the year correctly, it is assumed that the correct year is 1891. The Ontario, Canada, Marriages civil record for their marriage also lists 1891 as the year of the marriage.
