Rick Dondo's Family Tree
Saint-Claude, RM of Dufferin, Manitoba, CANADA
Tree: Rick Dondo's Family
Notes:
This town is central to the stories of the immigrant generations of Dondo and Rebiffe family members who are the key players in the stories told on this website.
This municipality was named for St-Claude in the Jura region in France.
Founded in 1892 as a satellite parish to nearby Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes. Early records for events of the time reflect the fact it was part of the Rural Municipality of Dufferin. That changed in (about) 1906, when the town came under the aegis of the RM of Grey, whereof it is, today, a very important part.
References in this form are maintained on this tree to respect the historic nature of this administrative relationship with the surrounding towns and villages. Early residents of St Claude are recognized as having been instrumental in local affairs, holding office and contributing significantly with time, effort, and funds to the development of the area.
Some of that work is described (in French) in pages 30 through 95 of the volume Anecdotes, Saint-Claude, Manitoba, 1892-1992, via the link catalogued in the media library maintained on this site.
To get a more complete understanding of the role this town played in the stories of the families included on this tree, your host strongly recommends spending time also perusing the list of early events associated with the town while it was under the administration of the RM of Grey (i.e., 1906 to the present day).
