Hi Listers: It has been a while since I have E-mailed the list and I would appreciate your help once again. Still, after finding all the information about Alphonse BOUDREAU and his wife Cecelia ALLEN (ALLAIN) with the help of Carol Ann and you listers and all the discoveries that I have made in Nebraska; my Boudreau trail still leads back to Kankakee, Iroquois and Will Counties. There isn't anymore information in Nebraska that will help me find Alphonse BOUDREAU(X) (b. ABT. 1825) and Cecilia ALLAIN (b. ABT. 1830), birth place and parents (both were born in Quebec). I found information about Alphonse and Cecilia's children and I am in contact with the descendants of their youngest daughter Angeline, but they have no concrete info, only hearsay from a grandmother. The grandmother said, her family were from Port Royal, Acadia by the way of Quebec. However, that doesn't really help all that much; without names of ancestors. The only other clue we have is: Alphonse's brother was Celestine (Celestin), who was listed on the 1860 Iroquois census and was listed as 33. My new cousins and I are wondering if someone one on the list could help us find a 1850 Will County Census, if that is possible. Was Will County, a county, way back then? I know that Alphonse married Cecelia on October 19, 1851, in Will County and also my gr. gr. grandfather Pierre GIGUERRE married Marie PROVENCHER, in Will County, also. (Marie's parents Louis PROVENCHER and Appoline BELAND, also were in the Kankakee area) Alphonse BOUDREAU and Cecelia ALLAIN'S family must have traveled together to Kankakee; so I think it would help to explore other BOUDREAU and ALLAIN families who were in the area of Kankakee in the late 1840''s through 1868. If there are any BOUDREAU or ALLAIN (Allen) descendants in the area, we need your help, because we have hit a brick wall. Thank you, Mary Boudreau
