Welcome to the Violette Family Association's web site! Our Association was formed in 1977 and comprises people who are descended from Francois Violette, who came to Louisbourg, Nova Scotia in 1749 and later settled in what is now Van Buren ME around 1789. Membership is open to anyone whose ancestors are from that line, and their spouses and children. Learn more about Francois from this link: Life and Times of Francois Violet.
