I realize that's not the decade or even century you're interested in but they did have a number of children who seemed to remain in the area, looking into their descendants might help. There is also a Chouinard family association in Canada and they have a book tracing the genealogy down the different lines you might try there. Best of luck Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
