Gabien Avis (Avit) (Gabriel) GALLANT (Gabe a Lip)
- Birth 19 Feb 1889 in Mont Carmel, Prince, L’ile Du Prince Edouard
- Death 21 Jul 1965 in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada
- As a child and in my little world, Papie was the ONLY Gallant…but, since growing up and doing research about my Grandmother Mathilda Marie (Tilly) Gallant, I have been able to go back, in some cases, ten generations to France. These pages will share at least bits of my family history, while no where near what I have collected and organized in other formats. If you have any connection to my line, I’d love to hear from you.

I’m wondering if the Rustico Gallants are related to the Summerside and Western PEI Gallants? My father told me a long time ago, that he had Gallant cousins in Summerside. I don’t know their names though.
Most church records for my people are listed as Notre Dame Du Mont Carmel , Prince Edward Island. A lot of the head stones have been so wiped out with the salt air that it is hard to distinguish resting places…but, I DO know that my Great Grandfather was baptized in the church. I’m grateful that I was able to spend time there a couple of years back.
My uncle did some research on the two Gallant’s and they are apparently not the same from Rustico and Summerside because my grandfather Parker Gallant married Suzanne Gallant who’s family was from Rustico
When I find the Rustico connection, I’ll let you know, Melissa. Thanks for writing.
Melissa, have you done your DNA yet? I’m on GEDMATCH.
I had my DNA done through Ancestry. I don’t know much about GEDMATCH.
Mine is also done on Ancestry. We should take a peek.
