Edmond Domingue is my grandfather, Harold L. Domingue’s father ; I’m pretty sure there are other Domingues who are my relatives as well. Edmond Domingue was married to Beatrice Mouton (Domingue) so I’m pretty sure the Moutons are my relatives as well….I have been doing a family search for my Domingue and Mouton side of the family tree. If any relatives read this message feel free to reach out…I look forward to meeting with you.
