That must be it! The family came together, and some of them later returned to Quebec, which was a common practice then. Mederise and some older children born between 1875 and 1883 must have stayed in the US, while the parents and the younger children returned to Canada. I should have thought of that myself. Thanks so much! Can you tell me where to find the NEHGS records? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
