  • Notes: 

  • Rose's middle name tends to appear as either Ella or Elly in census records. Othertimes her name appears as Rosalie. Some online genealogies claim that her middle name is Alice and that Elly and Ella are nicknames. There is also some disagreement among researchers as to the identity of Rose Coulombe's parents. Some give it as Laurent Coulombe and Marguerite Guay, while others list it as Jean-Baptiste Coulombe and Marguerite Dionne. More research is needed to help resolve these issues.

    Various U.S. census records give Rosa Coulombe's birth location as Vermont, while the 1870 census and her death certificate list Canada.
