I sometimes use the IGI (International Genealogical Index) at the LDS' site: http://www.familysearch.org/ The IGI will show localities where certain individuals with certain surnames had baptism/christening and marriage events occur. This may give you clues in researching the Peaufore name. Also try Rootsweb's WorldConnect databases. Search for Peaufore in localities where your Anderson's lived. Also ask about the Peaufore's on a mailing list for the locality where your Anderson's lived. Just some random suggestions.
