>From the info that I have, Joseph Horace Sr. (there is also a junior) arrived in the US in 1874 at the age of 20. My Caliste Chouinard info goes back to the 1600's. I found Jean Baptiste Chagnon dit Larose, born Abt. 1722 in Iles Bouchard, Quebec, Canada; married Marie-Francoise Girard Jan. 28, 1742/3 in Verennes, Vercheres, Quebec, Canada. I don't see the Girard info in any other place. I'll bet we're very distant cousins!!!

Thanks for getting back to me, now I have a place in NY where I can start looking. I'm not sure if my Joseph Henry is a match for your Joseph Horice, Joseph Henry's parents were Francois Chouinard and Cynthia Gerard, her father was Joseph Gerard and lived with the family in 1870 and 1880 in Boonton, Morris, NJ. Francois and several of his sons disappeared between 1870 and 1880. I found a match for a Joseph Gerard in 1860 living in Chesterfeild, Essex, NY with the right age and is from French Canada and has a daughter Harriett living with him and his wife Louisa, Harriett is the name of one his grandchildren. So I think that family is a possible match for the Gerard side. I'll have to check how close that is to New Brunswick, NY. Do you know when your family moved to Wisconsin? I vaguely remeber there being a census in 1900 which had some of the missing brothers in 1880 being in Wisconsin. Or at least possible matches for the names and ages living together, the father was sti!
ll missing though, but he would have been getting up in years by 1900. Perhaps the father and the older boys moved to Wisconsin with your relatives.
Thanks for the information if I find anything I will let you know!
Best,
Kate
