Thank you so much for the information and yes it confirms what I have. That always helps. What I am looking for is his brothers and sisters names. Do you know where to look for this information? Thanks again Susan Bourget

If you can find the obits of he and his wife, you might get lucky and find they will mention brothers & sisters. In the 1880 Census for Woonsocket, there is one other Bourget there - Theresa, age 56, a boarder in the home of Henry Berard and his wife Adeline. She could possibly be James'/Ignace mother, so you might want to look for an obit for her too. I couldn't find her in the RI cem database, but I did find this entry - BOURGET ____? 1820c - 15 JUL 1894 WO006 WO006 - Prescious Blood [Precieux Sang] Cemetery Rathbun St, Woonsocket, RI. There are quite a few other Bourget listed in that database, so you may want to check it out. http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/cemetery/search.html The records of the Precious Blood parish have been published by the American French Genealogy Society. You may want to join the Quebec Research or Quebec list at rootsweb.com to see if anyone has those books and can look for Ignace for you - either in those books The Harris Public library in Woonsocket has the french newspaper La Tribune as well as the english papers.
