Hi, Cheryl, My search is for my gg-grandfather Joseph who was born 1834-35 in Quebec, so not the same person as yours. Have you checked the DESJARDINS Family Forum at genforum.com? I've seen information similar to yours somewhere as I've made my own search, and I think that's where I saw it. If you aren't familar with Genforum, check it out. There's a search engine at each family surname list to make searching individual forums easier. Happy hunting! Anne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl L.
