My Caliste Chouinard info goes back to the 1600's. I found Jean Baptiste Chagnon dit Larose, born Abt. 1722 in Iles Bouchard, Quebec, Canada; married Marie-Francoise Girard Jan. 28, 1742/3 in Verennes, Vercheres, Quebec, Canada. I don't see the Girard info in any other place. I'll bet we're very distant cousins!!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
