Hi,
Plumelec is a small villge in Brittany.Morbihan is the modern day "district" each district hhas a number and I think Morbihan is 56.Anway look at a map of France and Brittany is on the nortwest coast, the capitol city being Rennes. Look for Vannes in the southwest and follow inland. If you have a good map you will find Plumelec, if not it is near Ploermel.
the originalname is Vincelet.I read somewhere that names like this ending in -et were pronounced as -ette by the Canadians from Normandy, s0o Bourget becomes Bourgette and Cadoret becomes Cadorette etc.
Geoffroy was born around1676 there and came to Canada wth a detachment of marines under Des Bergeres.He died at about 27 leaving two sons Jacques and Nicolas from whom we descend.
