One more comment for you. After trying a few different ways to look it up, I finally managed to locate St. Joseph's on FindAGrave. Here is its main page: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=91584&CScn=st+joseph&CScntry=4&CSst=21&;

Let me know if I can be of further help.

FITCHBURG (1764)
from Lunenburg
City Hall, 718 Main St., Fitchburg, MA 01420
Tel: 978-345-9594

St. Joseph's Cemetery
486 Clarendon St.
Tel: St. Joseph's Rectory, 46 Woodland St., 978-345-7997

If you can confirm that the person(s) you are looking for are located there and have a marker, I will do my best to make it out there and try to locate the grave(s).

I have a book on MA cemeteries (published by the New England Historical and Genealogical Society) so I will start by looking it up today to see what the book says about it.

At 7:19pm on July 26, 2009, Dorothy Melanson said…: The line I traced started w/ Pierre Laverdure m Priscilla Melanson in England. Pierre Jr. m. Marie D'Entremont. One son, Jean m. a Dugas.
Their son, Alexander m. Osite Hebert (2nd m.) Ended up in Mass. from
the Explusion. Alexander died and Osite went to Louisiana with some of
their youngest children which included a Joseph. My husband's family
comes from this Joseph. I don't know if this includes your line.

Two of Pierre Sr. sons, remained in Nova Scotia and I believe had
children named Joseph also.
