>Hi Jed: Many thanks for all the information that you gathered on my elusive Helene Mercier. It is still a mystery but does open up more possibilities. That illegitimate birth for Helene (Leblanc) born 10 April 1887 sure ties in with her information on the 1911 census, after her marriage to Ernest LeGouffe. I have been looking through a book by Bona Arsenault of Les Registres de Maria 1860-1960 and there are scads of Leblancs in there but I have yet to come across a baptism for Marie Helene Leblanc, Would the Francois Leblanc and Hermine Laubert have been the godparents? I do appreciate all your help. and shall keep trying. Many thanks, >------------------------ >Jared "Jed" Handspicker >[email protected] > >"It's a dog eat dog world, and I have Milkbone underwear."
