I would like to find the names of both of their parents. They had a child Francois born abt 1780. This child then went to Wisconsin to live and raise his family. The PRDH includes only two Provost - Laporte marriages: Jean-Baptiste Marie Provost-Prevost and Marie-Judith Laporte-St Georges married at Lavaltrie on 28 Feb 1765; Louis Provost-Prevost and Marie-Françoise Laporte-St Georges married at Varennes on 13 Jan 1794. There is no recorded marriage between François Provost-Prevost and Madeleine Laporte.

Laporte is a dit name for Sorel; hence, from the PRDH, Francois Provost and Madeleine Sorelle, 1782-11-24, Boucherville. Bertrand Desjardins PRDH
