Hi Merry The book "Ottawa Old and New" is a history of the area from 1825 - 1914. I looked up the name Bernet and didn't find a listing. Why not try getting in touch with the LaSalle Co. Genealogy Guild. They have the following address for their site: HTTP://GENEALOGY.ORG/~DPC/ They have been very helpful to me.
