Minnesota Resources
There seems to have been a small contingent of Pitres who eventually moved south into Minnesota. From what I have found thus far they were using Lajambe as the surname. I believe them to be from the same family.
There is one who arrived but did not stay, and resisted being identified.
Ignace Pitre (Lajambe) - from Quebec to Minnesota to North Dakota
