Family lore indicates that his parents transported him from Quebec Canada to Haverstraw NY as a 3 or 4 day-old baby to register his birth there so that he would be a US citizen. I spoke with a person in the town offices in Haverstraw and she told that the paper records start from 1881, 6 years after his birth. His parents were Joseph CYR (MICLON) and Marie BERTHELLE. Donald was born in July 1875 or 1876, married in NH in December 1899 and died in MA in 1938. Are there any earlier birth records in Rockland county?
