I am researching my mothers paternal line, surname Goyette. The records I have show that my mother’s great great grandfather Antoine Goyette married Julie Racine, daughter of Pierre Racine & Julie Fortin, at Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire, St. Hyacinthe, Quebec on October 15, 1860. Can someone clue me to the migration routes of people that moved from Vercheres at that time to Maine. The Racine’s were from Vercheres, Quebec. I am interested in the travel routes that immigrants might have taken at that time, did they go via ship or in groups? What might be some resources in the Vercheres area or any other relatives. Antoine and Julie lived in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec prior to 1902, than was in Maine in 1902. His children Antoine [1861], Ezilda [1864], Louis [1864], Oliva [1866], Alphonse [1877], Melvina [1879], Emile [1880] Goyet. I have the descendants for Alphonse Goyette, my great great grandfather. But would like to get more information. Alphonse Goyette married first married Marie Artange Faucher, than Alphonsine Morin and had ? children, including son Lucien Goyette [born in Lewiston July 6, 1902] marrying Germaine Cailler, daughter of Ernest and Alphonsine Morin and had 14 children, including his son Robert Ernest Goyette [May 14, 1937] marrying Helen Gooldrup and had 11 children, including his daughter Brenda Goyette [born in Lewiston, ME in 1958] who married Paul Cote and had 5 children, including me, Paul A. Cote, Jr [born in Lewiston, ME Oct 13, 1976]. I show that Antoine moved from Vercheres to Maine, and that Antoine's parents were: Joseph Goyette [born 1786 Vercheres] and Marie Menard [born 1780 in Vercheres]. The parents of Joseph are Francois Dominque Goyette and Charlotte Pacquet-Lavallee [1860’s Vercheres, Quebec]. Popular belief from the family is that our line is stemmed from Pierre Goguet & Louise Garnier in Aunis, France, in the early 1600‘s, who introduced the Goguet line to Canada in the 1600's. So I am looking for help, any genealogists or anyone with some experience in these topics. Sincerely, Paul A. Cote, Jr 20 Howe Street Lewiston, ME 04240
