Aloha Pam, You have company. I am of 100 % F-C ancestry and have 3 brick walls in my ancestry...all at the g-g-grandparent level and all involving VT. You might want to take a look at my paper at http://www.rootsweb.com/~vermont/FrenchCanadianMigration.html which was specifically written to try to help people like you trying to make the VT back to Quebec linkage in the 1800's. There were only two Catholic churches in VT before 1850....one in Burlington and one in St. Albans...and both were established to serve a predominantly Irish Catholic congregation. Some F-C avoided "Irish" churches. So there is a good possibility that your g-grandparents were either married in Quebec, or by a Quebec missionary making the rounds in VT, or in a non-Catholic ceremony in VT. Please send me direct (jlesperance@hawaii.rr.com) their full names, including your g-grandmother's maiden name, and the best guess as to when they were married. (And the birth date and place of any of their children.) Have you had a search made of the VT archives? They are quite good. I can probably arrange to have a VT friend do a search for you if you give me the details that I have asked for. I have a few unique 19th C VT resources and will search here within the next week. Please don't assume that the l'Assomption SARRAZIN's are your ancestors. The town of l'Assomption is in the County of l'Assomption. The name of the church in those days was St-Pierre du Portage but it doesn't exist today. "Portage" relates to the carrying of canoes overland at points in the river that were not navigable. A dit for SARRAZIN is DELPELTEAU. Also "sarrasin" translates to "buckwheat" which is a variant in the U.S. for the surname.
