Marcil Family History, Donated by Wilmer Marcil
Scope and Contents
The Marcil family came to Rolette County, North Dakota, from Montreal in the late 1880s. Four Marcil brothers: Alexis, Sefroid, Alcide, and Arsene; sons of Jacques and Celina (Trembly) Marcil, were ancestors of all the Marcils born and raised in Rolette County. A manuscript titled "Rolette County’s Marcil Settlers" describes the lives of these four brothers and their families, and includes other stories and family notes. Written by Wilmer Marcil in August 2007, the manuscript is ten pages in length. Two ancestral charts devoted to André Marcil and James Arthur Marcil are also included. Wilmer Marcil of Tacoma, Washington, donated these papers to Dr. Virgil Benoit in June and August of 2007. Dr. Benoit then deposited these materials in Special Collections in April 2008 (2009-2947).
