Hello folks, I am trying to find who the parents of Zoe BELGARDE (married John Plourde 1859 at Burlington). I have been totally unsuccessful. At this point, I would be happy to get any info on any BELGARDE (before 1860). This might at least give me a starting point when I visit Vermont in April. The name of the town where a Belgarde lived may be beneficial when looking through census records. Name variations could include BELGARD or BELGUARD. For the record, I visited Vermont last year. I found the locals to be outstanding, friendly citizens, an asset to our country. If any Vermont folks happen to wander in to Western Md., I hope they will stop by my house (we might even swirl a little beer). I hold these folks in high esteem and if someone happens to help me out with this inquiries, my opinion of the Vermont folk will surely escalate (might even throw a few steaks on the grill to go with the beer).
