Descendants of Jean Bisson

Descendants of Jean Bisson

This tree, added in 2016 shows the progression of one branch of the Bisson family from Trinity to St John and from there to Canada and the United States of America. It can be seen that the given names Daniel and Benjamin keep appearing in successive generations. Descendants of Benjamin Bisson - 3, added in 2018, follows the line down from generation 4, and shows a further descent in the Canadian branch.

The tree has been amended in the first four generations and the next three generations revised in February 2019

With information received from a Jerripedia user along with the super family photograph on the left, we were able to add a further branch in 2018

Descendants of Benjamin Bisson - 4, added in May 2018, shows Benjamin at generation 4 as the son of Jean, grandson of Josue, all being from Trinity

A further review in 2021 resulted in the removal of Daniel as a son of Charles and Mary Hamon at generation 8. His father has been found to be another Daniel

Bisson family page and links to other trees

In common with the majority of our trees, this descendancy has been subject to regular review by site editors and checked against Jersey church records. Trees including French ancestry have also been checked as far as possible against French primary records. It is not always possible to carry out such checks on sections of trees with United Kingdom and/or colonial content

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 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.
