Removed the following from text posted by 144.251.10.25 as unrelated and the Jean-Baptiste Laberge is unconnected and done for propaganda purposes. Certainly an article on Robert de la Berge might be warranted and well worthwhile.

• "Joseph is four generations removed from Robert de la Berge, who emigrated to Canada in 1659 from the Normandy region of France. Robert's descendants are wide-spread across the U.S. and Canada, some of whom have themselves entered the history books. Among those are Joseph's son, Captain Joseph Marie LaBarge, Jr, (b. October 1816, d. Apr 1899) who went on to become one of the most well known Missouri riverboat Captains. Another is Michel LaBarge, an explorer for whom Lake Laberge, near Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory of Canada, is named. There is also a well remembered Canadian patriot, Jean-Baptiste Laberge, who took part in the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837 in Beauharnois and was briefly exiled to Canada Bay, Australia. This rebellion is commemorated in Quebec by a public holiday, the Journée nationale des patriotes."
