Hello Marsha! I have been told that my GGGGrandmother was a Gervais ~ I found this info on a website: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/lwjones/bouchacl.htm --Augustin Bouchard, n ca 1792 | | | | +Marie-Marguerite Gervais dit Talbot, n ca 1797, m 11 Nov 1817 St-Francois-du-Sud Do you have any dit Talbots or dit Gervais? I have a hard time reading the website but it looks like her grandmother was a Talbot dit Gervais! --Pierre-Basile Bouchard, bap 15 Sep 1740 St-Thomas | | | | +Marie Talbot dit Gervais, n ca 1741, m 24 Aug 1761 St-Pierre-Riviere-du-Sud I also have Boudreau and Boucher, but not since Acadia, I don't have any in Illinois.
