Hi Ginny, I have only identified one direct ancestor in the area. STEBENNE, Charles Alexander, b. 1 Oct 1830, Marieville, QC., d. 4 May 1889, Kankakee, IL. He m. MUENIER, Louise, b. 1832, Marieville, QC., & d. 20 May 1889. 7 Known ch., Alexander, Louisa, Louis, Peter, Mary, Anna and Tilla. There are many more STEBBINS/STEBENNE families I have heard of in the three state area but have not been able to connect them with my Charles and Louise. Cheers, Howard STEBBINS New Haven Cty., CT PLAIN Text only. NO ATTACHMENTS. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
