Answer 1

(Above are great answers, from great contributors. Give 'em ten points. Work on it, and I'll see you in a church basement, going through records, in Quebec. I'm in the same boat with the "De Le Granae" and "Brusseau" lines. These people are tough to track. Happy hunting!)

Just don't rule out French-Canadian records for the early stuff.
