Hello Fran, I like the way you phrase your statement about the Drouin data not extending beyond 1814 for this family, at least as far as "Pierre" is concerned. 1814 is too early for the likely date of birth. In the Maine censuses, 1860 Peter Ranco in Waterville was 41 1870 Pierre Rancoue in Waterville was 39 (obvious error) 1880 Peter Ronco in Winslow was 59. It would be interesting if the cut-off at 1814 in Drouin means the data on Edouard's marriage in 1832 is not there.

They had several children, at least one who died in infancy, and Edouard Rancour who married in Trois-Rivières on 8 Oct 1832 with parents "of this parish" who were not given as present. Several records mention Charles as a soldier. He was originally from St.-François-de-Beauce. >> >> In Canada, I have found no marriage record for Pierre, nor death records for this family. In Maine, the 1860 Federal census of Waterville, Maine places an elderly Charles (age 94?) in the home of 'Peter Ranco,' age 41. On 13 Oct 1865 in Waterville, Pierre Rancourt had son Louis-Jos. whose godfather Louis Rancourt was the nephew of the same Charles Rancourt who had married Louise Germain. These two records suggest, but do not prove, that Pierre was the son of this Charles. >> >> Al Poulin >> > > > > This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
