Bonjour Annie, J'habite aux etats unis depuis quelques annees. Je viens juste de lire votre message et je voulais te dire que mon arriere grand-pere s'appele Adelard Emard (dit Poitier) et qu'il venait de Embrun, ON.
I'm not certain, but I believe his mother had something like 20+ children! He married and lived in the Ottawa area and had one daughter (one died) named Flore Emard. She married John Thomas Sullivan from Aylmer, PQ and they had 5 children. If you are still looking for more info I can get in touch with ma tante Louise who will have all the details.
