    1. [Menard/Maynard] Re: Quebec Menards
    2. Hi David, I have heard of the town of Greenwood and I will try to stop there when I go to Eau Claire. because I am very curious about it. Joseph Greenwood was born in Mishicot Wisconsin near Two Rivers about 1858, his parents had come from Quebec to Wisconsin in 1854. He might have gone back to Quebec to visit his grandparents and never came back or he may have moved on to another town. But Francois Ausman had been married for 3 yrs to another man and had a little daughter when she first met Joseph Greenwood. I am thinking that she was introduced to Joseph by Joseph Menard and his wife Matilda because they both were witnesses to their marriage. In a will that her father Martin Ausman left in 1895 it spoke of his deceased daughter Francois. Either she was deceased only in his eyes or she really had died. Because in those day it was not looked upon very well to get a divorce. I am a distant cousin on your Ausman side of the family. My great great grandmother was Anna Catherine Ausman she married Fredrick Harley in Elk Mound about 1860. Roxanne
