Thank you, Grandee for your time and research. I don't think that is my line. Previous emails with all the children ARE my line. Yesterday, I went to the French site where Mathieu was born. Found this: Jacques Tessier b. circa 9 Oct 1619 - s/o Pierre Tessier and Louise Tessier (Chabot); husband of Laurence Boigeau; father of Mathieu Tessier; d. 25 Nov 1687. "Managed by Private user". This is my Tessier line. Still can't figure where Francois fits in. And yet, I have published material that links Francois to Mathieu. Again, thank you for your help. Nancy
