I am looking for information on Louis Esdras PAQUIN, my great-great-grandfather. He may have been born in La Baie-du-Febvre on 1 Jun 1827. He immigrated to Kankakee, Illinois, USA sometime in the 1850's. In 1857 he married Felicit Gauthier in Illinois, and together they raised 4 children, Josephine, Clara Marie Louise, Louis Esdras, and Elia Velma PAQUIN, all born in Illinois.

I am wondering if there is any information regarding this family, and whether there were other siblings who remained in the vicinity of La Baie-du-Febvre.
