Sandra - who did your Jean Baril marry?  Was it Marie Guillet?  Curious - I have Baril and Guillet in my lines.
Comment by Sandra Berry/Guenther on November 6, 2011 at 6:41pm
One of my Canadian lines is BARIl. The first known Baril in New France, was Jean BARIL. I have other French Canadian lines also... Lapointe/ La Point...Beaulac/Bolack. I would love to talk with anyone who has the same connections...

Thank you terri and James for the help.  I don't read French and neither does anyone else  in mine or my husbands generation or family.  this has been a brick wall for a long while.I hope I can go on now and find out more about his gr grandparents.  I would like to get them back to France.

Mary Ellen.  The Drouin Collection has information about the marriage of Charles and Eva.  They were married April 26, 1893 in Quebec, parish of St. Roch.  His father is Magleine Aube, cordonnier (shoemaker) and his mother is Camille Turgeon.  He was born May 25, 1868 in St. Malachie (Dorchester County) and he was baptized May 26, 1868.  Eva's parents are Joseph Richard and Marie Louise Cantin (I think this is the correct spelling--the writing is difficult to read.  Eva's mother is deceased at the time of Eva's marrige.  It appears that Eva's name may have been different at the time of her birth.  I am still looking for her birth record.  The Drouin Collection is a huge resource when researching in Quebec.  I do hope this helps in some way.

Mary Ellen, you need to look at the Loiselle or Fabien marriage indexes, even if they were living in the US at the time period of the marriage. I know for New York a number of the immigrants or their children went back to Quebec to get married, sometimes returning to the area they resided/originated.  The indexes are available through your local Family History Center.  There are marriage indexes also published for some of the parishes in Maine.

My husbands grandparents were from Quebec province.  She was Eva Richard born 1870 married Charles Aube born25May1869 in St Malachie, QP.  They were married around 1893.   She died on 23Mar1936 in Auburn/Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine.  They had emigrated to the US around 1900.  I would like to find out who her parents were and where they lived in Canada.  Did they come from France?Who were their parents?
