Thanks C I was wrong. It is Petit Joe & Anastasie LeBlanc Petit Joes Parents were (5) Joseph Broussard & (5b) Agnes "Nanette"Thibodeau NOT (4) Alexandre He is just Joseph (Petit Joe). His cousin Joseph-Gregory m Ursule Trahan. Confusing isn't it. Next post I am sending the children I had assigned to Jean-Gregory Broussard & Anne Le Blanc and we can sort them out. -----Original Message----- From: Cecil Van Duzee P   Gary descends from Rene LeBlanc-Anne Theriot daughter Anastasie, not Anne and Joseph "Petite Joe" Broussard, not Jean Gregoire.

Anne Le Blanc remaries to Pierre-Benajmine Bourgeois & dies. Some of the children make it to Louisiane & some stay in what would become Canada. See my Francois Broussard to Maria Breau for one of the branches that stayed. This is what I have. Anyone agree/disagree? Paul
