That is a lot of what has been driving me crazy and driving my reseaerch. I have had to start from scratch so to speak. I would love to be able to view your family tree. Or I guess I probably should say our relative tree. I am convinced from the censuses that I have reviewed that Joel and Nancy were the parents to Simeon Powers of Cherry River Orford Quebec. The only children I can absoultly confirm are Polly and Almina. Based upon how close Hiriam lived to Simeon I would bet they were brothers. Beyond that I can not confirm or even suggest at this point other children of Joel and Nancy. Wish the Anglicans and Methodist would list parents in marriage ceremonies. That would have been a big help. So we just keepn looking. I did find a baptismal record for Almina in Quebec at the age of 14 but again no parents listed. I am certain it is her though. Every thing adds up. I have a feeling the childr! en got baptised when they were ready as opposed to when they were infants, which means some of them may have been baptize in Vermont. Finding this documentation may be no easy task. We will however keep looking. This is when I wish I still lived in Vt. I will have to write to the archives and see if they have anything.
