Howard - you may be getting lucky here, in that several of our listers have family that moved from Illinois to Fowler INDIANA - I'm sure they will let you know who they are. They may have some good leads for you. Don't neglect to look for STEBBINS and MILLER as well as STEBENNE and MUENIER. I see you do have the death location for Louisa Muenier/Miller - it is Kentland IL, where some others in the family appear to have settled. One may guess that she went with one of them to be with family after her husband's death and died then. Or, Alexander died on a business trip to Kankakee. Checking out the newspaper for the several weeks around the death date may be next on your list. Where was he buried, do you know? Fr. Chiniquy traveled with good-size groups in 1851 and also in later years, I think - then more French-speakers came from other areas as well as from Quebec in subsequent years. Your family seems to have remained in Montreal until at least 1860. Did the family stay Roman Catholic? That could be a clue (!). Good luck. Ginny Crawford
