Sorry for the delay in answering this, but I had no internet or telephone yesterday for about 12 hours and just got it back this morning. I don't know for certain, since I have not had ancestry for years , but I think that those other postings got their information from me. I think one of them was a Jim Hartigan. He said it was his wife's line. There were also a couple of mistakes in what he entered. When you sent me those other names, I did look into everything that you sent and still came up with nothing. I am certain that these people were "kin" but not in my direct line. I am looking for Francis & Delia and I did not see those names on there except in a time frame other than what I need. I am also looking for a Stephen DeRosier. I know that Stephen translates into Etienne, but his wife is not the wife of my Stephen. His wife was Rosetta Mallette b. Montreal ca about 1803. In later years she often went by the name Susan DeRosier. I am very intimidated by the "dit" name research and have not done any of it. It all seems so confusing to me. How would you ever be able to research anything under those circumstances? I mean, these people are very hard to find even without that thrown into the mix.
