?? Children. Eugenie's 1898 obituary (5) says "Eight children were born to them, six of whom and the husband survive her." The surviving six were Paul, Robert, Emma, Rose, Oscar, and Ed. Alford appears in the 1880 US Census. (10) So far, no other evidence of Alford or another child has been found. -- dg 2009 Jul 27

Elise Landry and Ed Wyssenbak are raised as members of the family, but Ulysse and Eugenie are not their gentic parents. Elise is the daughter of Ulysse's sister, Louise-Eugénie Landry, and she comes with the family when they immigrate in 1878. Ed Wyssenback returns with Ulysse on one of his return visits to Switzerland.
