Thanks to everyone who has responded! I should have explained in my request that I was
looking for info on Michel's birth - i.e., his parents. Once he gets to the US, I can
follow him pretty well. I just can't figure out where he actually came from, other
than Canada. Who were his parents? Grandparents? Did he have any other siblings? Where
did he meet/marry his wife, Harriet Sova dit Plaunt?
I tried Google-ing "Mustaw" as a lot of you suggested (I never thought of this),
and what I get is alot of middle-eastern stuff? I'll keep working though. Thanks!
NEVER GIVE UP,
Jeanette

Subject: Help!
Has anyone ever heard of a town called "Mustaw" somewhere in Canada? I have
an ancestor, Michel Fevrier dit Laramie, who is driving me insane. He was born sometime
between 1836 & 1842 in "Mustaw". He has a brother, Albert, and possibly
another brother named Joseph. I am looking for his parents or ANYTHING about him before
1870. He supposedly immigrated to the US in 1858 from Canada (some records say Upper
Canada, some say Lower), but he doesn't seem to exist before the US 1870 Census!
Thanks for ANY help!
Jeanette
