Hello Joyce, seems we are traveling the same path here. I have my allusive grgrgrandmother that was born in Montreal in abt. 1824 she lived at Hogansburg for a time with her parents when she was widowed in 1850 and although I have her parents Louis Sawyer (listed as a Frenchman from Canada) and his wife Mary, that is where it all stops. So I have sent thro my local library for varies books on diff. counties in Que. and Ont. as she lived in Maitland Ont. also before she was widowed. She had two Warner children from her married to a Andrew Warner, no info., and she later remarried a Frank Robideau and had several more children, but to find anyone its something. I also am trying for any maps and have a few, diff. time period. I have been trying to pin point reservations in route to Montreal and your letter has helped. I would be glad to share any info. with you.
