Francois PAQUETTE and Henriette SARRAZIN had a son John PAQUETTE, born 6 August 1850 in Plantagenet, Ontario, Canada. In 1876, John married Marie Louise LAROQUE. Their daughter, Clara POQUETTE, was born on 15 December 1882 in Marinette WI. She married George Nathaniel LANG circa 1889. Does anyone recognize this family or have suggestion on how to move backward? We have never done any research in Canadian records and don't know where to start. Linda Lang Oliver Springs TN
