Clara Caron married Rudolph Chiniquy, my grandfathers brother and I just received a copy of their marriage certificate. It showed Clara's parents as Hyppolite Caron & Mathilda St Germain. They were all in Kankakee. Now, all I have to do it try and hook Hyppolite to his parents in Quebec. Oh what fun Carol Anne
