I wish to thank the list members who answered my inquiry about the Chaputs. I re-read the obit for Stanislas and found that he had a sister in Canada that didn't come to Kankaee with the rest of the family. This was Josephine. My grandma was named after her. I was then able to connect to the Chaput's in Canada and traced back to the 1400's! And, all of you were right about Mary Sauve being a LeClerc. I only have three of these lines left to trace: Mary Desanges Mailloux (b: 1831) and Jean Baptist LaPolice (b:1834). Both came to Illinois in the mid 1800's. Any information on these two lines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again! Lynn Clarke-Dallas, TX US iowatex1@netzero.net http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clarke
