I decided to follow the same process as the Lapalme map and superimpose multiple generations of Legaults with the respective tongue rug placenames. I started with Roch Legault (Legoff) in Irvillac, France and moved westward.

Just as I suspected, five generations of Legaults have lived in proximity to the waypoints that are concentrated in the Outaouais region: LE-1, LE-8, LE-10 and LE-6.

• Jacques Legault
  (b. Sep 19, 1764, Pointe-Claire, d. Mar 18, 1847, Montebello, Papineau, QC)
• Michel-Amable Legault
  (b. Nov 16, 1809 Rigaud, Vaudreuil, d. Sept 11, 1906, St-André Avelin, Papineau, QC)
• Justinien Legault dit Délaurier
  (b.  Feb 1831, Rigaud, Vaudreuil, St-André Avelin, Papineau, QC)
• Isidore Emirie Legault
  (b. Abt, 1856-1876, St-André Avelin, Papineau, QC)
• Isidore Legault
  (b. May 7, 1918, St-André Avelin, Papineau, QC, Apr 8, 2007, Sudbury, ON)

I remember when cycling to each of these bodies of water, I passed by many farms. Most of the Legaults were listed in censuses as farmers or cultivators. My grandfather Isidore had worked as a lumberjack before injuring himself. It was the thriving forestry industry in Northern Ontario that triggered his move northwest.

I was unable to find much info on Isidore Emirie Legault?
