HOPEFULLY, THEY WERE COMBINED TOGETHER CORRECTLY.
1) For us shorter Morissettes (male or female) there was also a Morissette called (see picture below) Joseph "Petite"Morrissette (note the double r) b. Feb 13, 1830, Becancour, Quebec, d.

They had 15 children, 8 in St. Gertrude, Quebec and the rest in Bourbonnais,
Illinois. These people are cousins.
When I was a little girl they use to talk about my great grandfather (then deceased) as being Big Vic (son of Pierre Morissette and Julia Gagner) and there was Little Vic (son of Alphonse Morissette and Emma Sylvain), who I remember and he was "Petite", maybe a little round too. Alphonse and Victor were brothers.
