I believe that the individual that you are looking for (Joseph Berard) is the older brother of my great-great grandmother Emelie Berard. My branch of the Berard family seems to have lived at St-Théodore-D`Acton, Québec, Canada where most of the children in that generation were baptised. I notice in your post that you cited St. Nazaire d'Acton, Quebec, as the place where they lived. This was where my great-great grandparents were married but to my knowledge, the Berards did not live there. At the time of the 1891 census, Joseph's parents were living at St-Théodore-D`Acton, Québec, Canada. Joseph's parents were Dosithe Berard and Mathilde Deguire-Desrosiers. If you'd like more information, please e-mail me and I can send you a gedcom file of my data. Regards, Shannon Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
