Teresa -- WELCOME TO THE BEST 'GROUP' AROUND!! Please tell us ALL the names you are researching in regards to your French Canadian heritage. It is extremely awakening for me to see how our french families moved to areas and others followed behind them. I too, had family that came from Canada to Illinois, then SOME went to Kansas then up to Iowa while others went from Illinois directly to Iowa. Hope your searches are productive.
