Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan
Did any of your French ancestors come from Belle
Isle?
Where is Belle Isle?
Is it an Island?
It lies nestled between Detroit & Windsor. It is in the USA boarders.
This island was a farming community for many of my
ancestors.
Not sure if the island like
the coast of Detroit had “Ribbon Farms” or not.
“Ribbon Farm” name comes from the way each Farm was/had
very narrow land boundaries so every one could get to the water from their own
land. Long narrow farms. It worked well no water disputes.
