The Yandeau Family!

We have all heard that the Yandeau families in Canada were once Guindon's, but how can we be sure. I have received articles in the mail for reunions and about our family tree, but who are these people and where do they come from.One thing for certain that I am sure of is that my family was once Guindon's and I have been raised all of my life thinking about what the truth was behind our name change. I am still not sure and I strongly believe that no one is certain about the truth behind our real surname. One thing I am sure of though is that my family lived in the New Liskard - Haileybury - Cobalt area until they moved their way down South to the Niagara Region. Some of my Aunts and Uncles gave birth to their children in the great Old Fort Erie area and others gave birth Northland. My family consist of 5 males and 4 females. The Yandeau family are proud of their name and wouldn't consider it any other way. Their were some mis-carriages and still births that my grandmother M. Harrison did have,which I believe would of made the total 13(not certain). In the family their now are many grandchildren,great grandchildren and now great great grandchildren. The one blessing we do have though is the one we call Dad, Grandpa or G Grandpa. He has survived many years after the death of his beloved wife in 1998, though struggling with all of the hassles in life he has come a far way and we are very proud of him. My grandfather is a fighter and always will be and when that day does come he will definatley be missed a great deal as my grandmother is. One thing I can say about the Yandeau family is that we are strong willed, big hearted and very understanding. Many Yandeau's have beat the odds of death and survived the most rough challenges that god has put in front of us. My final comment about my strong willed, big hearted family is, if you know who you are and you know what im talking about always remember our family will live forever, Our children, grand children, great grand children and so on will carry on our name with pride. Think the Yandeau name will never die because if you think about we are all so dam FERTILE!!!!!!! Our children or grandchildren may not know it yet but they are about to become the next generation of the most strongest family in the world, and I believe that they will carry that on Forever and Ever!!
