Here's an interesting tidbit I picked up in my research also:

Detroit Border Crossings and Passenger and Crew Lists, 1905-1957

Name: Joseph Eugene Potvin
Arrival Date: 21 Aug. 1940
Age: 68
Birth Date: abt 1872
Birthplace: S Gloucester Ont

Port of Arrival: Detroit, Michigan

Microfilm Roll Number: M1478_81

From Ancestry.ca, I found the following info on Julie and Eugene's family. It's not much, but that's ALL there is.

Julia was probably baptized as "Julienne" L'Ecuyer 1 June 1872, but the baptismal record is nearly unreadable as far as I'm concerned.

Joseph Eugene Potvin was born 22 May 1875 in Ontario and, of course, they were married in 1897.

They had two daughters: Ida Mary Potvin, born 18 Aug. 1898 or 1899 and

Marie Rose {Rosella}, born 13 April 1900, christened on 15 April 1900, South Gloucester Church.

Joseph Alfred Potvin, christened 18 May 1902; think he may have died young.

Maria Louisiana Potvin, b.-d. ? [the record on this child is illegible because of the ink bleeding through the old paper]

Maria Laura, christened 22 May 1909; in the margin, "married William McCarthy 25 Jan. 1932, Detroit."

Ida Mary married John P. Sweeney [b. 1883] on 28 Dec. 1922 in Essex, Ontario, CAN. I haven't been able to find out any MORE information on either of them.

Marie Rose {Rosella} was apparently keeping house for her parents. She died 24 Aug. 1924, from rheumatic heart disease and embolism. She was buried on 26 Aug. 1924 in Windsor, Ontario, CAN.

At the time of Rosella's death, her parents were living at 332 Wauketa Street.

OK--you're on your own now!!
