Hi everyone! We just joined your list and have been browsing past queries for the last few days. We have a few questions and hopefully we'll be able to make some connections with your help! Bob and Sandy Bovie, as well as Lars Arseneau, have been helping us to find information on the histories of St. Anne, Papineau, etc but we are still wondering if anyone knows where we can find a copy of Father Chiniquy's ledger so we can look up some ancestors. The histories of the towns and a short biography of Father Chiniquy have helped us to understand a lot of our questions already. For instance: Georgia Chayer married Fred Seivert (Sievert). We were perplexed by how a Lutheran man would marry a Catholic woman until we found out that the Chayer's had converted to Presbyterianism! We also wanted to let you know what surnames we are researching in the area. We are most interested in the Mayeau (Mailloux) and Bauvais side. We are also researching the Chayer (Chaille) and Paloguien (sp?) side. Short genealogy below: Jean Baptiste Chayer (b. 1830, Canada) married Merance Paloguien (b. 1835, Canada). They had several children that can be found on the 1880 Census. We are descended from their son, Fermin Chayer (b. 1857). Jacob Mailloux (b. 1839, Canada) married(1-11-1858, Kankakee County) Melvina Bauvais (b. 1842, Canada). They had several children including two daughters whose names look like Jane and Georgia on the 1880 Census. We are not sure which one we are descended from since the marriage record between Firmin Chayer (spelled Choyer on the IL Marriage Record database) lists "Jennie Mailloux." Any help you can give in clearing up this mystery would be greatly appreciated! This is a great list and we're so excited about being a part of it! Thanks in advance! Adam and Corrie Johnson
