Though I do not know of an Eli DesJardins, I would note that some of those who came to the US, attempted to Americanize their name by using Gardner, or Gardiner, etc. The Delta County Genealogical/Historical Society was very helpful to me in getting info on my grandfather's family. You could try them. Mary Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
