Thought maybe someone might be able to help. I can't remember if Mary is on this list or not, but thought I'd pass it along anyway.

All my other French-Canadian lines PLANTS> came through St. Anne, Kankakee County, Illinois. My ancestor lines were a very close knit group of people. Most of them traveled from St. Anne to Nebraska in 1868 together. So, it is just the matter of making the right connection. My g.g.g. grandmother Appoline Provencher/Provancha's second husband was Antoine Allain and she married her first husband Louis Provencher who were third cousins. The reason I mentioned this is to show how close my ancestors were. In Rootsweb posting, I mentioned that Cecile Allain married Alphone (Afonse) Boudreau b. 1825 - a fur trapper/farmer and also, that Pierre Boudreau's (Sr.) children married children of Michel Allain, so there is diffently a Boudreau connection with the Allains. The other connection is St. Anne, where Alphonse and Cecile's children were born and where the Allains were the first to own land. We need help from BOUDREAU descendants who came through St. Anne, Illinois, ONLY. That is my request. Since I had luck before when I posted on Rootsweb and Genforum for my Allain line that came through St. Anne. I thought I would do the same for my Boudreau line. Because, of my new found cousins, we can trace our Allain roots back to 1643, in France. So, I know it can work. I would like to find descendants of Pierre BOUDREAU, Sr. and Celestine Belanger, with these children: Elphere (Allain) and Maxime Boudreau; so I can trace this line of Boudreaus back and see if they have any connection to Alphonse and his brother Celestine. So, I am looking for Boudreau descendants who have ancestors, who have a link to St. Anne, Illinois. Through my cousins, I know there is a BOUDREAU - ALLAIN connection...........marriages, baptisms and deed records. I hoping that some descendant has Pierre Boudreau's (Sr) family tree, so we can trace his parents and siblings.
