And yes, I always take the 1900 month/year with a grain of salt. The month is likely correct; the year is 50/50, if that. Thanks, as always, for your insights. I hope to learn more about Ethel's family from the guru of French Canadian genealogy, Bob Chenard, at Taconnett Falls Genealogy Library at Winslow, MainePam Beveridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272409581983333836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470217109659177851.post-43981247806747671152011-10-29T16:56:20.735-07:002011-10-29T16:56:20.735-07:00P.S.
