You must have missed my previous message, Gloria, because I explained the difficulty I have had in finding my father Paul PELOQUIN. I appreciate your checking the census for Brooklyn and Pennsylvania for me, but I was born in 1930 in Brooklyn, so I didn't think he would have been in Pennsylvania yet in 1930. I will briefly go over what I know about him. I believe I must have been illigitimate because I couldn't find a marriage record for my parents even though I was given my father's name. Twice I paid to get a birth certificate, forty years apart, and all it contained was mother's and father's names, no other information about them. Sometime after I was born he went to live in Adah, PA while he worked in Republic at an auto repair shop and while there applied for a Social Security number in 1936. I obtained an employment application, dated 1941, at Sorel Industries near Montreal, Canada, which states he had four dependents and was a widower. I thought perhaps include! d in the dependents might be children in the Fayette County area. It is possible, but he would have been young to be a widower. He seemed to be a wanderer having also lived in London, England briefly, He was born and died in the Montreal area, dying in 1988. Since the death was in Canada, Social Security does not have his last address. Does anyone know how to obtain one from the Canadian Consulate? I would like to find any siblings I might have. My aunts and uncles, who never knew much about Paul, are all deceased. I have no one to ask, so I have been trying on the internet and have received much encouragement and help from everyone on this web-site and thank all of you for that. Albert Peloquin in North Carolina Dear Albert, Do you have any other information on Paul Peloquin? I checked the census records on ancestry.com and could not figure out if any of them were your father. Was he born in Canada? I could not find him in the census records for Fayette, but did not expect to since the most recent available is 1930. I also did not find a record for a Paul Peloquin in Brooklyn at any time. That doesn't mean he didn't live there, just that he was not there at the time of the census. Do you know when he was born or when he died? Wife's name? Children? Sometimes the strandest little things help. Dawne
