On his son Camille's marriage registration it gives his father's (Alphe Vienneau) birth location as Aboujagane, New Brunswick. Other sources indicate Alphe's birth location as Cap Pele. Daughter, Hectorine, gives Alphee's birth place as Cormier Village.

Misc:
Alphée was a jack of all trades in Cormier Village. He was the barber with Hectorine. They had the village post office in their house. He would slaughter most of the village animals. He was a bricklayer. He had a silver fox farm for a while. Their farm had one cow, a few pigs, lots of hens and geese and vegetables and fruits enough to sell. Alphée was somewhat of a guru in the village, read tea leaves, prescribed folk remedies, removed warts, predicted the weather, told folk tales, sang folk songs, etc. In his young days, he had been a boxer and a tight rope walker. All winter he would make snowshoes with moose skin and he would carve axe handles which he would sell. He was a saw and axe sharpener. He was a crack shot and would guide American hunters. He also worked in Joggin Mines with Thaddée for a spell. He spent some time in logging and lumber mills.
There was no electricity in the village before 1954 and no telephone. Alphée had a battery radio with a large antenna and they would listen to New Carlisle, Gaspé Peninsula, Québec at CHNC. But the would only listen to the soap opera, Les Belles Histoires. Séraphin Poudrier, the Rosary (le chapelet) and the morning prayer.
