In my Girard line, I have Pierre-Jacques Girard, who married Francois Gratiot, in Repentgny in 1681. My notes stated he was one of the first to Canada. Pierre was son of Rene Girard and Marie Bosnard in France. My line starts from Vitaline Girard, m. 1874 Joseph Audet in St. Valentine. They went to Connecticut about 1888 with the complete family. Very few descendants from this line. Alicia
