I only found 1 Olivier Preville, born 27 March 1845 and baptise 29 March 1845 at St-Gabriel de Brandon, Quebec, Canada. His father was Joseph Preville and mother Adèle Bélial. The godfather was Nazaire Baril and godmother was Rose Valois. I have a copy of the baptisim record on file. Olivie married Adélaide Matte(born 13 Aug 1951 is St-Pierre de Sorel, Quebec, Canada)her father was Jean-Baptiste Matte and mother Marie Forcier (they were married in 1842 at St-Pierre de Sorel), according to Ancestry.ca Olivier and Adélaide were married 14 Jan 1868 in Whitehall, NY..... I don't know who is Joseph father and mother, I am not even able to place them in my family tree, and I have more then 600 Preville in my tree. May be if you could found a marriage certificat or some kind of proof in Whitehall, NY, you will be able to identified the parents. I don't have acces to the US file, I am limited to Canadian recor If it is possible I would like to received all the decendant name so I could place them (hofefully one day) in my family tree. Myself and a group of Cottenoir/Preville have created a web site for the family, I am in the process of including all the Preville name that I have in my data base, it should be done by end of June 09. The site is http://www.famillecotnoirfamily.ca/ and it's bilingual. Please kept in touch.
