Hello,
When you list your Bertrand's and you say upstate NY where upstate do you mean? There was a family in Malone. Alas I have no relations to them,

But I am related to a family from Saratoga Springs. We have alot of the same first names. We do not have any catholic members that I am aware of. We are orig. from France and our first emigrant was in the early 1800's and he was named Henry. If you think there is a connection please e-mail me. I used to live in that area also. It is the most beautiful place in the US. Trudy
