Hello Ron. I just saw your posting from a few years ago. I am a Paquette. My father, Herbert James Paquette was born in Wyandotte/Dearborn Wayne County area of Michigan on 05/14/1939. His father, Harold James Paquette was also born in Wayne County in December of 1906/1907. My great-grandfather was John Thomas Paquette born around December of 1875/1876. John was born in Canada and this is as far as I can get on my Paquette side. John came to the USA about 1894 and settled down in Wayne County or nearby in Michigan. He married my great-grandmother Minnie Van Meter sometime in 1900 and I think it took place in Augusta Township, Wayne MI. Minnie was born about October of 1882 in Van Buren Township in MI. She came from a huge family. But I am having so much trouble obtaining info on my great-granfather John Paquette's birth place and his parent's names and any siblings. You can email me at:
