ships came to New France


Ship 762 L'Aigle D'Or Circulation: 300 tonnes, Master and owner Nicolas Gargot La Rochelle says-Leg Wood, Owner Paul Thevenin Glaraux and the Company Departure King of La Rochelle July 17, 1662 and arrived in Plaisance, Tadoussac October 27, 1662 Returns to France 20 November 1662 and arrived at La Rochelle in January 1663


L'Aigle d'Or, 24-gun ship, commanded by Captain Nicolas Gargot La Rochette said-Leg wood, is one of two ships of the king provided by the state to Pierre Boucher to convey engaged and soldiers, armed by Paul Thevenin Glairaux of Louis Pagez & Cie for the king. There was also aboard a cargo for merchants Jacques La Mothe and Armand Izamard or Zemard Arnaud de La Martinière.


Archange Godbout says that despite the absence of the roles of two royal ships we know the names of some other workers hired by PierreBoucher.


Thus Robert Boulay incurs an obligation (contract 06 or June 23, 1662 Pierre Moreau, La Rochelle) to his fellow Charles Turgeon 20LT for a loan used for the transport of Mortagne in La Rochelle with his wife, Françoise Grenier or Garnier . their 4 year old daughter Jacqueline


Turgeon brings with him his wife, Pasquière Lefebvre and four children: Marie-Claire, 10 years; Jacques eight years; Anne, 3 years and Michel aged ten months. Pierre Pouillard served their control. Also a note at the bottom of the deed indicates that Charles Turgeon did recover November 8, 1662 the Commissioner Dumont Tadoussac to settle the claim of a lady Treille. According to the website the ancestor Robert Boulay Boulay families and Turgeon have embarked in this ship.


Ships or Tadoussac in Quebec in 1662


According to Marcel Trudel eleven ships came to Quebec and Tadoussac in 1662, nine of La Rochelle and three Normandy. The following passengers are passing that year:
the Royal Commissioner Dumont, Asseline of Ronval Duchesne and his companion Iberville, Stephen Banchaud merchants, Jacques Lamothe, Zemard Arnauld de La Martinière and Antoine Grignon. The Journal of 1662 mentions Relations in July arrival in Québec Pierre Gaigneur. Trudel identifies 182 people of the 300 new immigrants, including 37 for Montreal.


The trade in water spirits forces the recall to France the


governor'slong military career of Pierre Dubois dAvaugour more than 40 years of service the army before being appointed governor of New France, forged his character.



He could tolerate the furnish no question his orders, seeing this as a challenge and even denial of its authority. He could then become extremely
uncompromising even when it was wrong. Thus, in January 1662 after the Jesuit Father Jerome Lalemant had asked him to be lenient toward a woman convicted of
trafficking water spirits with the Indians, it irritated the governor replied, "If the sale of water -of life to the Indians was not a crime for a woman involved in the future
it will be a crime for anyone.


"Thegovernor signed an edict to lift all restrictions on trade in water-de- Life with the Indians he supported before. Intolerance to alcohol Indian was well known. They believed that drunkenness was carrying them into the world of their primitive gods. Not having the inhibitions of some Europeans then lost their composure and could commit violent disorder then rejected any responsibility. Learning the new edict and recent violent excesses of Bishop Laval Indians renews excommunicate against bootleggers. Relations between Bishop Laval and the Jesuits dAvaugour then become very tense.


When the colon is killed by a drunk Indian Maisonneuve in Montreal published an edict prohibiting the sale of alcohol to Indians. D'Avaugour imposes a 10% tax on goods
imported for Montreal and restrictions on Montreal merchants. Maisonneuve arrived in Quebec with a merchant Jacques LeBer to embark for France.


D'Avaugour LeBer arrested and accused of fomenting sedition in Montreal, and prohibits the Governor of Montreal to leave the colony. Bishop Laval sailed for
France August 12, 1662 to find a solution to the water spirits. Letters of complaints against the governor arrive in France. Colbert and Louis XVI recall
the governor. Very shaken by the news he named his lieutenant, Cailhault La Tesserie, gubernatorial Acting and without waiting for the new governor
sailed for France in Quebec City on July 23, 1663.


Arrival of Pierre Boucher with 100 soldiers and 200 committed


Pierre Boucher went to France in 1661 to hire 200 settlers and to tell the king the situation in Canada, this one came to Canada under his direct guidance.


His journey home with two ships of the king, is disastrous. The trip lasted beyond the forecast and the 300 passengers suffered terribly from hunger and thirst; 33
died at sea (maybe even 60) or upon arrival, at least among the 100 workers led by Pierre Boucher.


A Biscay boat with 159 passengers arrived in Quebec Tadoussac October 27 with Mr. Boucher and " a gentleman by the king to send 100 troops to control the king sent in advance of the emergency the year that comes and additionally 200 passengers "with among them the Jesuit Father Charles Simon and the Jesuit brother Garnier" schoolboy novice " . This gentleman was Dumont, the king Commissioner.


Boulay Family ancestor offamilies Robert


allBoulet in Canada are among the descendants of Robert Boulay who, in 1662, landed in Canada with his wife, Françoise Garnier, and their daughter, Jacqueline. Robert Boulay came from Saint-Germain Loïse near Mortagne au Perche, France. This is confirmed by the parish archives not, "because they could not be found," but rather a legal document signed by Robert Boulay in La Rochelle June 23, 1662 before embarking for Canada. In this document signed before Pierre Moreau, lawyer, Robert Boulay says. "farmer from the Perche region of Mortagne, parish of Saint-Germain Loïse"

In 1661, Pierre Boucher had returned to France to New France "Canada" complaints that colonization was too slow and too harassment by the Iroquois. He was received by King Louis XIV, who promised to send more settlers and soldiers. Thus, in 1662, a hundred men armed and many settlers, Robert Boulay boarded the ship The Aigle D'Or.


The crossing was tumultuous and took longer than expected, so that a hundred men with Pierre Boucher thirty-three starved and thirst. (This statement was made ​​by Boucher himself on October 17, 1663.)

Most of the Perche settlers took up residence in Beauport on Côte-de-Beaupré or Île d'Orléans. Upon arrival Robert Boulay was granted a concession on a plot of land in the Lordship of Lirec now known as the Parish of Ste-Famille, Île d'Orléans. Four years later Robert Boulay added to his present holding another parcel of land, as a concession to the south of the island in the parish of St. John.


On November 25, 1670, Robert Boulay sells to John Boucher Galeran his land on the north side of the island of Orleans and moves to his participation on the south of the island. This land is in turn sold to Pierre Mourier 19 November 1675. Robert Boulay then moves on Île d'Orléans in Rivière-du-Sud (St. Thomas), where the last of his son, Paul, was born.

C is also in Saint Thomas Robert Boulay died, March 24, 1707, after receiving the sacrament of the Church.


Origin of the name Robert


During the Gallic period, Burgundy was occupied by the Aedui. It is in this region that come from thename. Robert family
The Burgundians settled there in the middle of the fifth century. Their king,Gondebaud,who died in 516, published the first Common Law, the Gombette Act. In 843, Burgundy was governed by Charles the Bald in the Treaty of Verdun, but the region was first claimed by Lothar. Other divisions did so in the second half of the ninth century. Higgs was King of Burgundy-Provence 879 to 887. The name Robert was met inBurgundy,where the well-known family had its original place since the Middle Ages.

Throughout history, most surnames have suffered spelling changes. Usually someone gave his name without the spell, a scribe, a priest or a census. Each spoke by his accent, and local accents frequently altered the spelling of a name. Some variants of the name were adopted by different branches of the family. Hence the various forms in which may meet the family name.


Including Robert Robert, Robers, Robart, Roberte Robertes, robarte, Robartes, Robarts Roberrt, Roberrs, Roberre, Robèrre, Robarres, Robarrs, Robarre, Robert, The Robers of Robert of Robers, Robert, but they are all the same origin.

In the eleventh century the Duchy of Burgundy passed to the Capetians and became a duchy in the crown of France. On the death of Robert II the Pious, King ofFrance,in 1031, Burgundy was governed by Robert of France, brother of Henry 1st. In 1384, with the death of Louis de Male, Lord of Flanders, John II received the important legacy that included the counties of Burgundy, Flanders, Artois and Nevers. Philip the Good Duke became 1419 to 1467.

The family nameRobert wasmet in Burgundy, where the family came from the Belgian province of Liège. The first and only registered member of this family in Burgundy was LancelotRobert,lord of the Tower of Pancy and part of Annoux, who became secretary of the Duke of Burgundy, in 1445. He was murdered by his wife. His descendants were registered as owners of the manor of Pancy the seventeenth centuryname.


Other descendants were respected by that  Hubert (1733 - 1808), landscape painter (Arc de Triomphe); François (1731 - 1819), who became the king was a geographer and a politician; Pierre-François-Joseph (1763 - 1826), a member of the National Convention; Louis-Léopold (1794 - 1835), recognized as renowned Swiss painter; Louis Benoit and Simon, who held the rank of general and were created barons of the Empire in 1811. Among the best-known figures of Burgundy are particularly Louis-Robert Benoit, General, baron of theEmpire.

In early sixteenth century France became the center of European culture. The exploration of the New World was a challenge. The explorers led missionaries to the colonies of the North American east coast, including NewFrance,New England, New Holland and New Spain. Jacques Cartier made ​​the first of his three trips to New France in 1534. Champlain will go there in 1608. The plans designed for the development of Quebec were far from reaching the goals set by theCompany of NewFrance. Champlain brought back with him the first true immigrant, LouisHébert,a Paris apothecary, who arrived with his family in 1617.


In 1643, 109 years after the first landings by Cartier, Quebec had only 300inhabitants.



Emigration was done very slowly. We desperately encouraged young marriages among immigrants. The fur trade attracted French immigrants as noble strain as commoner. Fifteen thousand explorers traveled from Montreal in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In 1675, there were 7000 French in Quebec. In the same year, the number of French Acadians refused to take an oath of allegiance to England, were deported toLouisiana.The French founded Lower Canada, thus becoming one of the two great founding nations of Canada1665;.

Among the settlers in North America for the prestigious family name Robert include Louis Robert settled in Quebec in Sylvain Robert s' established there in 1756; Robert Mathurin settled there in 1691 and René Robert settled there in 1773.

During this time, many of those with this prestigious surname Robert illustrated in the social, cultural, religious and political France and New -France, Robert WilliamPaul,an officer of the city of New Orleans, USA. By doing this research, we have also determined which were the oldest coat of arms attributed topatronymic Robert​​of. The patch for the Robert family name was made

By quarters, the end top left and the right end is down a blue background with a crescent and a silver star; the left end and bottom end right up her a red background with five guns (diamonds) money in the middle, on a cross of gold.


The crest of the last name Robert represented
                                                        
A silver star
The family motto was  
Sapere Simpliciter
 
Those who today bear the surname Robert can to trace the origin of their ancestor, turn to one or another of the many French came to NewFrance in the seventeenth century. There are over a dozen pioneers came from Provence, Guyenne, Saintonge, Dauphiné, Normandy, Aunis, Picardie, Touraine and Berry. England and Spain have given us, one and the other Jean Michel.

At all Robert,which was the proper name were added, as confusion, other strains whose original name was different. According to JeanRobert,the most important of these families are, in order: Lafontaine, Chartier, Fasche, Le Breton, Mossion, Drousson, Vachon and O'Bamsawinfit.

However, if these families and others are  to adopt this surname that has all of the first name and dropping their original name, it is possible to trace in this crowd of Robert, who is responsible for the most important dynasty. This man is Louis Robert dit Lafontaine and said Pommeraye.

Louis Robert dit Lafontaine is a true child of France, who was baptized in the parish of St. Margaret of La Rochelle, August 12, 1638, the fourth and last child the innkeeper said André Robert Lafontaine and Catherine Bonin or Bonain. Born in Aunis, Louis had nevertheless roots in Poitou in Breuilaufa, where his father and his grandfather hadlived.Robert Louis does not intend to become a publican like his father; he learned the shoemaker. Having seen every day ships leave La Rochelle to go to America, he is tempted in 1664 by recruiters who offered to join the ranks of the soldiers of theCarignan-Salières.


The French engaged to come and subdue the Iroquois walk their idleness in the streets of La Rochelle since December 1664, waiting to embark. They stop at the sign of the Lion d'Argent? ArnoultLoubias,captain of the company that bears his name, he fits in this hostel waiting to embark? Why not?


When in the summer of 1665, the soldiers boarded, companies by companies, says Robert Louis Lafontaine is one of them. He arrived in Quebec on ​​September 12, together with Messrs Courcelle and JeanTalon.Company Loubias is not the only one on board the ship, the St. Sebastian. Those of Latour, The Noraye, Maximy, Saint-Ours, Small, Duprat and Du Gue traveled together.
Scotstown
Loubias and his men head to Trois Rivières,following January, but Louis Robert dit Lafontaine is already rendered. We have proof, November 12, 1665, when the ancestor agrees to be a witness to the signing of the marriage contract between his future stepmother, Marie Gendre or Le Gendre to Nicolas Masson. Marie Gendre, recently widowed Baptist Bourgery or Bourgie, but it is especially the mother of a little girl, Mary, whose soldier Robert is already in love!

Bourgery Marie is young and already very popular. The genealogist Robert Adolphe were to discover, stripping the acts of the royal notary Severin Ameau, a contract, passed February 17, 1664, promised to Marie Nicolas Leblanc saidLabrie.The bride was born in April 1654 only ... That contract had to be canceled and replaced, before the same notary, by another, dated January 12, 1666, by Mary Bourgery promised the soldier and craftsman RobertLouis.


Young age the bride does not allow a hasty union. Thus marriage itself that is celebrated on 25 November, in the chapel of Trois-Rivières. Cookies are not strangers, but maybe friends. PierreBoucher,governor of Trois-Rivières is there, and Henri de Chastelard, Marquis of Salt.

In 1668, like so many other soldiers of the Carignan regiment willing to settle permanently in New France, Louis Robert dit Lafontaine said Pommeraye received from the king, fifty or a hundred francs and food a year. The ancestor and his wife not attach to the governor of Trois-Rivières, who left this position in 1667 to settle in the land of his lordship inBoucherville.Six years later, April 4, 1673, during a ceremony attended thirty-seven of census deserving, Boucher grants to each of these men the land they have cleared.
Scotstown Old Station

Nine son and three daughters born of the union of Louis and Mary. With the exception of a child who died in infancy, everyone had an alliance. Pierre Angélique Ptolemy; Joseph Marie-Josette Larrivée; François Marie Lanctôt; Mary and Margaret were married two brothers, maybe twins, Anthony and Peter Daunet or Donay. Prudent married Marie-Madeleine Fafard; Jean-Baptiste, Genevieve Brabant; Jacques, Jeanne Dumets; Louis Marie Prévos; Antoine, Charlotte and Marguerite Bourdon, Charles Diel.

The ancestor Louis Robert dit Lafontaine said Pommeraye died on 1 January 1711 and was buried the next day in the parish church of Sainte-Famille in Boucherville, Marie owed survive. September 10, ill, she summons the notary Marien Taillandier who dictates his last wishes. She shares her days with her ​​granddaughter Angelica, to whom she bequeathed her bed topped with a bolster, an indoor goats' hair, two sheets and the mattress.

Plus, it gives flax said Angelique did and picked up and all grades and linen as well as shoes and made ​​to do and, for good services rendered and that promises to make its grand -Mother and also that she might remember her in their prayers Died September 19, 1719, Mary Bourgery joined her husband the next day in the parish cemetery Boucherville

Jehan Thériault is a laborer. He was recruited to Acadia by Charles de Menou d'Aulnay and Charnisay and governor of Acadia. They went Auray July 28, 1632 (1936?) With the Commander of Isaac Razilly and arrived in Acadia the August 14 and September 8, 1632 after a month and a half of sailing. They landed at LaHave today LaHave, Nova Scotia. They settled in Port Royal. The commander of Razilly died in December 1635 and the command returns to Charles deMenou.

Jehan was a laborer and a peaceful man, his existence is completely unrolled at PortRoyal.This is not surprising since this institution was almost the only one in Acadia before 1680. Jehan and Périnne had 07 children Claude and Germain that will ensure the offspring of all families Thériault of America.

In the census of 1686, Jehan and Périnne are both deceased. According to research, Jehan reportedly died around 1686 and 1671.Périnne to

According to the Acadian Historical Society Melanson, who lived in Port Royal this time, were not Scottish. The St. John is commanded by Pierre de Nesle.

Charles de Menou d'Aulnay, (born in 1604 at Castle Charnisay, France; died accidentally in  Was alternately tower captain, a lieutenant in the Navy for his cousin Isaac Razilly and governor of Acadia. Born in France, his father was a high-ranking officer for Louis XIII.
Razilly Isaac became governor of Acadia in 1632 and Menou was one of his assistants, borrowing funds, renting boats and recruiting men for the regular crossings Atlantic for the Company of New France and a private company, Razilly-Condonnier. These companies sometimes have different interests, which occasioned an expensive competition.
Razilly died in 1635 and his brother, Claude deRazilly,was responsible for administering the Acadia as governor. Claude, held by his business in France, did not come to Acadia but named Charles de Menou d'Aulnay as a lieutenant to govern on their behalf and manage the company in Acadia while he managed the operations in France. It was only in 1638, Menou d'Aulnay will receive royal letter to his appointment as governor of Acadia.
After an intense and expensive struggle between his troops and the rival faction led by Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour and thanks to his decisive military victory by the capture of fort La Tour on the St. JohnRiverin 1645, Charles de Menou in 1647 was appointed governor of the whole region. This military supremacy does not helped resolve the economic and social instability in the colony which Charles de Menou d'Aulnay faces.
For his commitment to the settlement, he left a prosperous colony to his death. The main achievement de ofCharlesMenou d'Aulnay has been the establishment of the Acadian people in Port-Royal. It is one of the pioneers of European settlement in North America. After Charles de Menou accidental death in 1650, Acadia is sinking back into internal conflicts.

Krcipczio U Krepcio ou Krejpcio ou Krejci
As far as I know, it was Boleslaw Krcipczio, altho his immigration papers showed it as Krejpcio, The latter is what I used when I was in grade school. It is now spelled Krepshaw. The passenger list indicates he was from Biala Wala, or Biala Podlaska, Poland, Belarus, Russia. I guess that is/was a Polish province taken over by Russia. He immigrated to Philadephia, PA.

Well, there are so many Polish surnames that it's tough to say anything definitive about them if you don't have a correct spelling -- and Krcipczio makes no sense phonetically or linguistically, it's surely a misreading or misspelling somewhere along the line.
However, there is a name Krejpcio which might fit -- it's close to some of the variant spellings you gave, and would be pronounced roughly "CRAPE-cho" (rhymes with "scrape-snow"), which could easily become Krepshaw in America. I can't be certain that's the right name, but it's close enough to be worth mentioning.
Aiden from Renaud Laprise.jpg

As of 1990 there were 172 Polish citizens by that name, of whom the vast majority (141) lived in the province of Suwałki, in northeastern Poland, on the border with Lithuania. And Krejpcio is almost certainly Lithuanian in terms of linguistic origin. It appears to come from the Lithuanian word kreipti, "to turn, make crooked."
I would suppose the name might have referred originally to someone who had something crooked about him -- not meaning he was a crook, but rather that he had a crooked leg or back or something like that. We see a lot of Polonized forms of Lithuanian names near the border, so that makes sense in terms of what you said. The area was originally Polish, but was taken over by Russia in the 1800's. And vast numbers of Polish-Lithuanian immigrants settled in Pennsylvania, so that fits too.

… His papers also had last spelled as ....Krepcio, Krepshio. I cannot find Biala, Wala anywhere on a map that I have. Can you help me??? This info. is necessary, as I want to find his birth certificate so I can find out who his parents were.
Biala should read Biala Podlaska, Poland, Belarus
Research by Alain Laprise, Canada
History of Biała Podlaska
The first historical document mentioning Biała Podlaska dates to 1481. In the beginning Biała Podlaska belonged to the Illnicz family. The founder of the city may have been Piotr Janowicz nicknamed "Biały" (Polish for "white"), who was the hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Biała Podlaska was at the time a part of Brześć voivodeship in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (then in union with Poland).
LuAnn Keprico nouveau profil 05 août 2014.jpg
In 1569 Biała Podlaska changed hands; the new owners were the Radziwiłł family. Under their rule, Biała Podlaska had been growing for two and half centuries. In 1622 Aleksander Ludwik Radziwiłł has built the fortress and the castle. In 1628 Krzysztof Ciborowicz Wilski established Bialska Academy as a regional center of education (since 1633 it was a branch of the Jagiellonian University, then called Kraków Academy). During this time many churches were erected, as was one hospital.
The prosperity period had finished with Swedish invasion in 1655. Then Biała Podlaska was attacked by Cossacks and Rakoczy armies. The town was significantly destroyed; however, thanks to Michał Radziwiłł and his wife Katarzyna Sobieska, it was rebuilt. In 1670 Michał Kazimierz Radziwiłł gives Biała Podlaska town rights and the coat of arms, which depicts archangel Michael standing on a dragon.
Casey Krepcio.jpg
In 1720 Anna Radziwiłł begins building the tower and the gate - both buildings exist to this day and are the most interesting remains of the castle and palace. In the 18th century the city and the fortress were many times destroyed (mostly as a result of wars) and rebuilt. The last heir, Dominik Radziwiłł, has died 11 November 1813 in France, as a colonel of the Polish army. The palace, which fell into ruin, has been pulled down in 1883.
At the end of 19th century Biała Podlaska was a large garrison town of the Imperial Russian Army. Near cross-section of Brzeska Str. and Aleje Tysiclecia Ave. is located a cemetery of soldiers killed during World War I.
During the Second Polish Republic in the interwar period, Biała Podlaska was growing fast. The town was the seat of the Podlaska Wytwórnia Samolotów (PWS), which manufactured Polish airplanes. There was also a garrison of the 34th infantry regiment of the Polish Armed Forces. The regiment, formed in 1919, fought successfully in the Polish–Soviet War, and also fought against Germans and Soviets in September campaign of 1939. The last commander of the regiment, lieutenant colonel Wacław Budrewicz, has been taken prisoner of war by Soviets and murdered by them in 1940 Katyn massacre.
World War II halted the town's development because of the Nazi and Soviet repressions. The Germans captured Biała Podlaska on 13 September 1939, but withdrew on 26 September to allow the Soviets to station in the town; however, on 10 October 1939, in accordance with the terms of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviets departed and the town was reoccupied by the Germans.

By that time, the Soviets have already managed to completely plunder the Poland's airplane factory, so that nothing but empty buildings remained. After Germany attacked their Soviet ally in Operation Barbarossa, war prisoner camp had been set up around Biała Podlaska, where Soviet POWs were killed.
In the postwar period and until today, Biała Podlaska has been developing into a more modern city but still retains many of the original features in the central Polish old town of the city. From 1975 to 1999 Biała Podlaska was a capital of the voivodeship, later it again became a city county, like before 1975.
History of the Jewish community
The first mention of Jewish settlement in Biała Podlaska dates from 1621 when 30 Jewish families were granted rights of residence there. By 1841 there were 2,200 Jews out of a total population of 3,588 in the town. In 1897 the number was 6,549 out of 13,090 inhabitants. In the 19th century the chasidic movement established strong roots in Biała Podlaska. A descendant of the Yid Hakodosh of Przysucha formed the Biala chasidic court existing to this day with communities in London, America and various cities in Israel.

The chasidim of Kotsk also had a large presence in Biała Podlaska, some of which later became Gerrer chasidim. In the already sovereign Poland by 1931, the Jews constituted 64.7% of the total population, or 6,923 out of 10,697 citizens. Four Yiddish newspapers were published locally between the two world wars.
The Germans captured Biała Podlaska on 13 September 1939 during the invasion of Poland, but withdrew on 26 September in accordance with the terms of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to allow for the Red Army to take over. On 10 October 1939 the Soviets handed the town back to the Germans when the line of demarkation was finally set up. Around 600 Jews escaped the town during the Soviet departure. The Germans formed a Judenrat in November 1939, which set up a public kitchen and a Jewish infirmary.
On 1 December 1939 a decree was issued requiring all Jews to wear a Star of David. Jews were ordered to move into an open-type ghetto along the Grabanów, Janowa, Prosta and Przechodnia streets, and a Jewish Ghetto Police was established. At the end of 1939, some 2,000 to 3,000 more Jews came during the deportations from Suwałki and Serock. The overcrowding resulted in a typhus epidemic in Biała Podlaska in early 1940, causing many deaths.
Several hundred more Jews were brought in from as far as Kraków and Mława during "resettlement" actions conducted in 1940 and 1941. The men were sent to new labour camps in the Wola district at an airfield, the train station, and elsewhere. Hundreds were paving roads, draining ditches, constructing sewage lines and building barracks. Many women worked in the Nazi farms. In March 1942 the ghetto had 8,400 inmates.

The Holocaust
Biała Podlaska Ghetto liquidation action conducted in 1942
After the launch of Operation Reinhard – the code name for a most deadly phase of the Holocaust in occupied Poland – on 6 June 1942 the Jews were told to prepare for "resettlement".

Only workers from the forced labour camps possessing labour permits would be exempt from the deportation. On 10 June some 3,000 Jews including women with children were assembled in the synagogue courtyard. Many Jews fled to the forests. The assembled Jews were led by the German police to the train station. The next day the prisoners were packed into the awaiting Holocaust trains and sent to Sobibór extermination camp. All were gassed.
In September 1942, some 3,000 Jews from the neighbouring towns of Janów and Konstantynów were brough in to Biała Podlaska Ghetto. The overcrowding became desperate. The Jews sensed that the ghetto was slated for liquidation. Many escaped to the forests, others prepared hiding places in the basements. On 6 October 1942, the Germans deported about 1,200 Jews from the labour camps to Międzyrzec Podlaski Ghetto.
The subsequent "actions" conducted by the Nazi German Reserve Police Battalion 101 augmented by the Ukrainian Trawnikis lasted throughout October and November 1942. In total, some 10,800 Jews from around Biała Podlaska and its county were sent to their deaths at Treblinka or massacred on the spot during roundups.

The remaining Jews of Biała Podlaska were sent to a transit point at the Międzyrzec Podlaski Ghetto for deportations to death camps. In July 1943 the transit ghetto in Międzyrzec was liquidated. All its inmates were deported to Majdanek and Treblinka, where they were gassed.

The Nazis left a small group of 300 Jewish slave labourers in Biała Podlaska to clean-up the decaying ghetto area. In May 1944, the surviving workers were transported to their deaths at KL Majdanek. Biała Podlaska was captured by the Red Army on 26 July 1944. Only 300 Jews are known to have survived the Holocaust. Most of them left Poland after the war.

Place names with bial- in them are very common -- the root just means "white." Biala Wala doesn't seem right, but Biala Wola could well work. There could be quite a few little villages or communities by that name, but I notice there is at least one on the map, a little village called Biała Wola (the ł is pronounced like our w) in the extreme northern part of what is now the province of Olsztyn. This is some distance west of Suwałki province, but not so far as to be implausible -- and it is still quite near the border with Lithuania.
So geographically speaking, it fits -- it was in the Russian partition, and it's close to Lithuania. I can't guarantee it's right, but I think the chances are good enough to make it worth a look... If it doesn't pan out, I'd try "Biala Woda" (literally "white water"), but I'd try Biala Wola, Olsztyn province, first. The only problem is, my sources list no Krejpcio's in Olsztyn province, so if they did live there once, they seem to have moved or died out. But some of the Krejpcio's in Suwałki province may well be relatives.

To find birth certificates, you need the parish church that served the community in question. I can't find anything that says for sure which parish serves Biała Wola, but on the map it appears Lubomino is the closest -- it's only a few kilometers away, that probably is where folks in Biała Wola would go to register births, deaths, and marriages.


I don't know if the LDS Family History Library has microfilmed the records for Lubomino parish, but I'd suggest going to the nearest Mormon Family History Center and seeing if those records are on file. If they are, you can have them loaned from Salt Lake City to your FHC and can look through them there -- much faster and cheaper than writing to Poland. If it turns out the records you need aren't available through the FHL, then you may have to write the parish in Poland, or the Polish National Archives.

As I say, there are too many variables here for me to be sure I'm right. But if I were you, I'd try looking for a family named Krejpcio living in or near Biała Wola, Olsztyn province, probably served by Lubomino Catholic parish.
