My Chouinard line came to Patterson, NJ around 1870. The father being a Francois Chouinard born in 1821 in French Canada. I haven't been able to track him or his wife Cynthia Gerard (father Joseph Gerard) back to Canada. And I was hoping he might have some relationship to your Chouinards who were bound to NJ a decade or 2 earlier. Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
