History & Ancestry

St. Josephs Church , the old and new. The original St. Joseph church (not pictured) burned down and was later rebuilt. Pictured left below was the rebuilt church completed in 1887.

 

Over 100 years ago, the now standing St. Joseph church was built on land donated by Peter Simoneau family and proudly marks the City of Damar.

The Foundation is always looking for more old pictures, articles, or just old written stories from our ancestors. If you have something to share with us and would like us to possibly display those items, contact anyone of the trustees.

 

This section of the Website will be devoted to our history and ancestors. We will be collecting articles, old pictures and other material and will be sharing them with you in the future. If you would like to submit information that we can use, please contact us.
