Most of it is birth, death and burial info. My modern stuff follows the info from his daughter Marie (agnes' sister?) who married James Ward. Get back to you soon. I do have a copy of Thomas' and Hortense' wedding photo (1868 I think) and I think a Family photo with all the kids. I remember a Leo and I think an Agnes being in it. Boy did my mother and Hortense look alike! My info follows the Cousineau bloodline back to France (Jean Baptiste Cousineau b1590 of Guy Cousineau). They farmed in Nova Scotia (then New Acadia) near Lac De Canards before those Pilgrim newcomers here in the US. I believe the first born in the New world was 1618 or 1620, but I have no info as to when they came over. A family member was one of the founders of Grand Prix, Nova Scotia a few years later, which is now a historic village like Fayette, Mi where Thomas settled, which is a State Park now. Feel free to send me a reminder if it takes more than a week as I am online just a few times a month. My email is bst665@yahoo.com if anyone has info to share or requests. Please mention Cousineau in the title. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
