Get your own Free HomepageThe Gagners originated as the Gasnier family in St. Come-de-Vair, France. Two brothers, Pierre (1610-1656) and Louis (1612-1661) immigrated to Quebec, becoming "Gagne" in the process (there are two good sites for the Gagne family history, that of Rev. John Gagnier and that of Peter Gagne). The name changed once more, to "Gagner", when my branch came to the United States. My great-grandmother was Marie Philomene Gagner (1873-1955), born in St. Urbain, Quebec. Her father, Joseph (1846-1926) was born in St. Luce, near Rimouski. The family immigrated in 1875, and lived for a time in Plattsburgh, New York before moving on to Muskegon, Michigan. They eventually settled in Bay City, Michigan.
