I forgot to mention that Simon Mire was my 5th great-granduncle. His brother Joachim-Belony was my 5th great-grandfather via his daughter Scholastique who married Simon Richard. Simon and Scholastique's son, Jean-Baptiste m. Hortence LeBlanc. Their daughter, Doralise married Octave LeBlanc and they are my 2nd great-grandparents.
