Hello,
I'm looking for any information on my Grandfather, Richard Beaudoin. The info I have is very slim, at best.
He was born, possibly around 1907, in Golf Juan France and immigrated to New York with his mother. I don't know the year of immigration, but he was a child at the time. Supposedly, the family owned a restaurant in Golf Juan, on top of a hill. They settled in the Bronx where he married Katherine Powers in approx. 1931. His occupation was musician (drummer?) and drove taxi. He supposedly died somewhere between 1935 to 1937. I have three different stories on how he died. First, he was struck by a bus or truck while crossing the street. Second, he was in an automobile accident. Third, he was shot while driving taxi. I have been told he is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, but the person I spoke with at the cemetery couldn't find any one with the details I provided. I haven't contacted any other cemeteries, since I don't have a month and year of death. I searched the Municipal Archives in Manhattan for a death certificate and have not found one. I also searched for a marriage certificate and could not find one, although they may have been married in a Catholic church and the marriage wasn't reported to the city. The only document I have with his name is my father's birth certificate.
The info above is all I have to go on, but I question the accuracy of some/all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ed Beaudoin
