Hello Again Lister's, As most can tell from the past few postings, I am trying to connect and find my ggrandparents. I believe my Jean Baptiste Narcisse Sarrasin is the son of Jean Baptiste Hyppolite Sarrazin & Marguerite Payet from Portage, L'Assomption Quebec, Canada. I have yet been unable to locate the marriage to verify this, although I have looked and looked. I do not read, write or speak French and if it were not for the many generous people on this list helping me, I would not even have this much information. Now, I also have another request and I am hopeful someone could look for me or maybe explain something to me. I found a Marie Agathe Bourdon who married a Etienne Sarrazin in Montreal. I ask for assistance from someone if they could do a look up on this marriage and give me the names of the parents. Frances Lachance sent me some information as well as "Mokasyns" but not on this particular person. I looked in the PRDH and found the marriage along with Marie Agathe's parents & siblings, now to the question, My understanding is that the name "Sarrasin" has a dit name which is "DePelteau", and none other dit name is listed. Could someone please tell me why would Etienne Sarrasin be listed as Etienne Lanoix-Sarrasin? Could this name be a name I should be researching instead of the dit name? I am wondering if all the while I have been looking for Sarrasin I may should have been looking for Lanoix? Any help, suggestion, explanation will be most appreciated. It might be better to email me off list as I don't want to clog up the list with my personal questions, Thank You very much, Confused Lone Star Pam
