  • Notes 
    • The Needles (formerly Laboursoliere's), were families of French ancestry, living in Quebec (the French province), who came over the St. Lawrence to the US and settled in border towns of New York, including Ogdensburg.

      French families often had a "dit" name. "Dit" means "say" in English. The dit name was a suffix to the last name that helped distinguish one family from another. The dit name derived from such sources as locations or prominent local features. It would be like "Smith say Altmar" vs. "Smith say Pulaski" or "Smith the Teacher". Back in the day when folks were mostly illiterate, the dit name was an important convention for correctly identifying families. If you google it, you will likely find a more accurate description.

      One branch of the Laboursoliere family called themselves Laboursoliere dit leguille. Leguille (pronounced 'le gwee' - the l's are silent) means needle in English. So there you have it. Some of the Needle branches chose the alternate spelling of Neadle. Some dropped "Laboursoliere" but kept the "Leguille", which then went through spelling permutations, such as Leguee, especially as families moved to distant parts of the country.
