I am still having trouble with my BROUSSARD line. I can document the following: - Marcellite BROUSSARD daughter of Joseph BROUSSARD & Constance LEBLANC (1); - Joseph BROUSSARD, son of Rene BROUSSARD & Ann GODIN (2); - Rene BROUSSARD, son of Joseph BROUSSARD & Anastasie LEBLANC (3); - Joseph (Gregorie?) BROUSSARD, son of Alexandre BROSSARD & Marguerite TIBAUDEAU (4); - Alexandre BROSSARD, son of Francois BROUSSARD & Catherine RICHARD (5) I just can't make the link that Joseph BROUSSARD who married Anastasie LEBLANC is the same as Joseph Gregorie BROUSSARD, son of Alexandre & Marguerite TIBAUDEAU. See my reference (4) below. I also can't link in the name "Petite Joe." Any ideas? Thanks, Gary D (1) Marcellite BROUSSARD married Maximilien STEVEN [SWLR Vol. 2A, Page 173, (SM Ch Vol. 6, No. 1512)] "BROUSSARD, Marcellite Urasie (Joseph & Constance LEBLANC) b. 6 Oct. 1811, bt. 2 May 1813 Pats.
