Always a good idea to start with the most current information - and work back to time of birth - and beyond. Do you know when? where Pierre MOUSSEAU [Peter MOUSSO] passed away? His registration of death /long form death certificate should show personal information includng names of parents, maiden name of mother All depends on information known to the Informant. Marriage Registration for PIERRE/Peter - should show all personal information required at the time - including names of parents. Pierre was born 1857 in St.Jean Quebec - and Immigrated to the U.S.A. in the 1860's. With his Parents - he would hve been still a child. at the time. Have you searched the U.S.Census 1860-1930? Not certain about the time frame - but - there may have been border crossing records. Post to the Message Board/s for Quebec. Post to the Message Board/s for New York.
