Hi Rod and Renee; I checked in the Drouin blue books, both masculine and feminine and was not able to find any Paradis-Fortin wedding (Francois Paradis and Francoise Fortin). Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Frank ----- Original Message ----- From: "Renee Cummings" <rcummi1123@rogers.com> To: "Francis T.

Hi every one, I also tried find this elusive couple: From the two mariage rep for the county of Kamouraska (one masc, one fem) No such marriage under Paradis=Fortin, nor Fortin=Paradis. No such marriage either in the Loiselle marriage index. So I give up unless we get new facts . Des. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francis T. Watters" <wattersft@gowebway.com>
