I would like to be in contact with cousins who are searching the same NOEL family as mine. Two brothers, PAUL and AUGUSTIN NOEL came from Quebec to the USA around the late 1840's. Exactly where in Quebec, it is still uncertain. Possibly the Richleau Valley area, or in the area of a St. Charles, or Notre Dame DeStanbridge. I've been unable to locate their baptismal records. The only possible clue to their prior activity before arriving to Massachusetts, is that PAUL NOEL'S wife, MARY PLANT was born in 1828 in GRANVILLE, NY which is near the Vermont border. PAUL and AUGUSTIN could have been in that area prior to arriving in Massachusetts. Most of their children's vital records say parents were born in Canada. >From the marriage records of PAUL and AUGUSTIN NOEL, it is recorded that their parents (from Canada) were JOHN or PAUL NOEL and ADELINE.
