Thanks, that probably would be too much work for you though, as I want to know EVERYTHING - who, where, when, why, how, etc. :). I've been doing genealogy full time for a while, but now do not have as much time for it as I want. I will need to go over my records and see where I am and what I need. I don't know much about Ferdinand and his family, but I don't think it's possible to find much anyway. I would love to go there someday and do it on the spot, but that most likely will never happen. It's encouraging though that there is a lot to learn about Jean and early Loiseville.
