Chevarie   (Excerpt)

Vital Chevarie des Iles-Madeleine vint a St-Georges avec sa famille en 1850. Il 
y resta plusieurs annees puis retourna aux Iles-Madeleine. Quatre de ses enfants 
resterent a St-Georges: Dimon et Elissa etaient maries; Lucien resta a Terre-Neuve 
quatre ou cinq puis alla s'etablir a Pointe-Lebel, Cote-Nord, ou il passa le reste 
de ses jours. Quant a William, il s'en alla naviguer et ne revint jamais a Terre-Neuve.

MY NOTE: I believe that Dimon is a typo and should be Simon.

(Translation by Leo Doucet)

Vital Chevarie from the Magdellan Islands came to St. George’s with his family in 1850. 
They remained for several years until returning to the Magdellan Islands.  Four of his 
children remained in St. George’s: Dimon and Elissa were married; Lucien remained in 
Newfoundland for four or five years before establishing himself at Point-Lebel, on the 
Northern Coast, where he spent the remainder of his days. As for William, he from went 
away as a navigator and never returned to Newfoundland.
