Hello Again Renee, Three of your messages of 7 and 8 April 2014 overlapped each other, and I'd like to respond to each separately. This is the second, on the topic of Pierre Rancourt, brother of Charles. You mentioned the brothers Charles and Pierre Rancourt. With so many members of families who carried identical first names, it does get confusing. But this Pierre is not the one who married Sophie Marcoux nee Pepin dite Lachance in Maine. Looking at my original post in this thread, I'll expand the picture now. The Pierre who married Marguerite Maheu had a son Louis who went to Waterville, Maine. Louis and his spouse Catherine Vachon-Pomerleau became godparents of Louis-Joseph Rancourt, a child of the younger Pierre Rancourt and Sophie Marcoux. In 1860, the younger Pierre had an elderly Charles Rancourt in his household. The fact that the elder Louis had an uncle named Charles suggests the possibility that the elderly Charles living with the younger Pierre was in fact his uncle. The younger Pierre (if actually a son of Charles Rancourt and Louise Germain) and the elder Louis would have been first cousins. This would serve as the traditional family connection for a godfather/godson relationship. For a time, they lived as very close neighbors. A family tree published in Waterville, Maine suggested, with some caution, that the Pierre Rancourt who married Sophie Marcoux might have been a son of Charles Rancourt and Catherine Pepin-Lachance. But there is no known birth of a Pierre to this couple. Fran was correct on that. And there is no known 'Louis' related to that family on either side. Besides, there is another problem. A marriage of such a Pierre would have meant he married a first cousin once removed, Sophie Marcoux nee Pepin dite Lachance. I think that is unlikely.
