I am looking for info on or about Alfred N.Turgeon. born in Quebec Canada July 10,1845.(or close) He came to the USA around 1867-68 to Clarion Pennsylvania. Declaration of intent to become a citizen in 1872, and naturalized in 1874.He is on the 1870 census for Clarion Pennsylvania, listed as a Barber. He married (we think twice) and remained in PA where he died in Butler PA June 12, 1917. His obit stated he had a sister living in Canada. I have no information on his parents or siblings. I do have all his children's info. What I need is to find out how to find out who his parents were and or where he was born in Quebec. I have his death certificate which does not list his parents.Is there any information for 1845 -through-1860-70? such as directories? or census for Canada, or ???? I have been unable to find out how to locate birth records as they are kept in local parishes and I wouldn't know where to look.

Dorilla was a devoted wife and mother, and the joy of her life at the family home on Chicopee Street was her six children. Her education ended after grade eight, as was common at that time, but she always knew the value of higher education and passed that ideal on to her three sons and three daughters. She taught her children the practice and beautiful traditions of the Catholic faith, the love of their French lineage, the value of education, and the joy of an excellent work ethic. Evidently, Dorilla's instruction to her children worked in their lives, since her sons and daughters became successful businessmen and educators.
