Surnames: Potvin, Viens Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/0lABAEB/123.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello Hubert. Thank you for the information. I did forward your message to my mother. We work on the genealogy together, and lately she has been spending much more time than I (her name is Betty). We have learned that my ggrandmother, Marie Anne Viens, was adopted by Tharsille Potvin and Joseph Viens. We know she was baptised in 1864 in the District of Bedford, at the Ste. Croix Catholic Church at Dunham. It is said her father was indian. We hope to connect with other Potvins in Cowansville! Thank you so much for the information. Laurie
