Would they register in a Quebec parish when there was a closer one? Seems to me that transportation being what it was in those days they would go to the closest parish to baptize their kids, especially as often as they had them. Delia was probably Adelia. They had a daughter they named Adelia also so that was probably it. As far as Quebec research goes, I am afraid to even start it. There were so many towns and parishes and I don't have a clue as to which one they were in. It's so frustrating to be this far back and not be able to go any further. What is SKS?

Sorry about that SKS stands for some kind soul. Still think if you want information from Quebec, join the Quebec list unless someone on this list is willing to do some look ups in Quebec for the 1830 or 1840 period. The other possibility is go to a public library that provides Ancestory.com. and as someone kindly pointed out the records are called DROUIN. There is also the possibility that the family travelled to see relatives and had several children baptized at once in Canada, but agree with you that the closest Catholic Parish would be likely. Have you found them on a U.S. Census showing where they lived which might help identify a Parish? There is considerable history of French Canadians migrating to New England: http://faculty.marianopolis.edu/c.belanger/QuebecHistory/readings/leaving.htm Lauraine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Craig" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 9:55 AM Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] DeRosier/Derosia/Desrosiers > Would they register in a Quebec parish when there was a closer one? > Seems to me that transportation being what it was in those days they > would go to the closest parish to baptize their kids, especially as > often as they had them. > > Delia was probably Adelia.
