Hi Ed; That area is also know as the "Northeast Kingdom". I would urge you to look at my "cousins" web page at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nekg3/nekg.htm She has put online a lot of info on the French-Canadians that came into the area. My family was the Paquettes, so I can't help you, but the web page may. Good luck!

You might also try the Vermont French-Canadian Genealogical Society's web page, http://www.vt-fcgs.org/. They have a lot of links to information about families, etc. Sylvia Bugbee On Mon, 23 Mar 2009, Dana Edgecomb wrote: > Hi Ed; > That area is also know as the "Northeast Kingdom".
