Descendants of Elisee Pigeon

Descendants of Michel Pigeon

This Jerripedia family tree was first added to the site in 2015. It was checked against Jersey church records in 2016, and again in 2017, when it was revised and expanded. A further review in 2020 resulted in the extension back by three generations from Elisee, who was previously at the top of the tree. These generations are supported by St Helier and St Martin marriage records, but some early baptism records are missing We have now incorporated all details from our other two Pigeon trees into this definitive tree, and it is the only one of the three which will be updated in future. This tree now contains all Pigeons known to have been born in Jersey up to the early 20th century Pigeon family page and links to other trees Record Search If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records. You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates. The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.
