Donna, thank you, I will look into these. I know so far all the records I have found on her, census, death, children etc. state that she was born in Rhode Island. But as I mentioned my gr-aunt (she's 87 now) for some reason remembers Holyoke, MA. It is something to check on though.

Beth - I didn't notice your first message - but there is a Natick in RI. It's a mill village in Warwick - Kent County The AFGS in Woonsocket has many published church records for the french churches in RI. The one in Natick is St. Joseph. They have published the Marriages of St Joseph's Church (1875-1989), but I don't see the births. Holyoke is another mill town. It's in Hampden County, MA There is a list for hampden county at rootsweb.com Families moved from town to town in search better work opportunities. It's possible that some part of the family was in Holyoke before or after Natick. Maybe they started moving west from RI, and were in Holyoke for a while before they made their way to Michigan? Holyoke also had a large french canadian population. Rhode Island's adoption records are sealed, so when you write to any authorities for records, don't mention the adoption or you won't get too far. I don't think the records were always sealed, so there is hope you can find her original birth record. You could send to the RI state archives - the information is below - They only charge 15 cents, or 2.00 for a certified copy. The massachusetts archives that Donna mentioned only charges $3.00 for a record, so these are 2 good resources to use. Lisa Kenneth S.
