Hello,

You didn't mention whether you already had the 1870 and 1880 census information for Victor PERRAULT in Michigan.

I'm taking a quick look, starting with the PERREAULT spelling, and I find 2 teens with the name in Lanse, Michigan. They are the step-children of the husband/father, but I can't read his last name. Looks like it starts with Gon ....

PERREAULT, JOHN (1880 U.S. Census)
MICHIGAN , BARAGA, LANSE
Age: 17, Race: WHITE, Born: MI
Series: T9 Roll: 570 Page: 615

With that spelling, there are 2 men in St. Paul, Minnesota

PERREAULT, GASPARD (1880 U.S. Census)
MINNESOTA , RAMSEY, ST PAUL
Age: 26, Race: WHITE, Born: CANA
Series: T9 Roll: 630 Page: 80

In 1870 there is this man with wife and children:

PERREAULT, GEORGE (1870 U.S. Census)
MICHIGAN , WAYNE, 9-WD DETROIT
Age: 30, Male, Race: WHITE, Born: CANA
Series: M593 Roll: 715 Page: 347

In 1870, this is probably your Victor. He has a wife, Ellinor, and a baby daughter, Annie. It says the baby was born in Illinois:

PERRAULT, VICTOR (1870 U.S. Census)
MICHIGAN , LEELANAU, CENTERVILLE TWP
Age: 27, Male, Race: WHITE, Born: CANA
Series: M593 Roll: 684 Page: 298

They are living near many families from Canada, most are farmers. .. And, there are other couples with this spelling in Michigan in 1870, including this older couple. The 7 people seem to have settled in the same 2 towns.

PERRAULT, WILLIAM (1870 U.S. Census)
MICHIGAN , CHIPPEWA, SUGAR ISLAND TWP
Age: 78, Male, Race: WHITE, Born: CANA
Series: M593 Roll: 669 Page: 352

In 1880, Victor and Ellen are in the same town, this time with 5 children, including an infant. The other 4 children were born in MI, so the couple must have first stopped in Illinois and then moved to Michigan.

PERRAULT, VICTOR (1880 U.S. Census)
MICHIGAN , LEELANAU, CENTERVILLE
Age: 37, Race: WHITE, Born: CANA
Series: T9 Roll: 589 Page: 458

In 1880, there were 228 people with the PERRAULT spelling in the USA.

In 1900, the couple is still there, but this time with 2 teen-age daughters born in 1880's. The couple had been married for 33 yrs. and had had 12 children but only 6 live. And, they have a married daughter living with them and a married son living beside them. It looks like Ellen had moved to US a few yrs. before Victor did. And, Victor was naturalized. Is it possible they married in Illinois in ~1867 ??

MICHIGAN , LEELANAU, CENTERVILLE TWP

In 1880 there were ~115 households in the US with the PERAULT spelling, including a widow with 3 young children:

Victor Perrault was born on 31 May 1843, not 1842, Saint-Pierre-les-Becquets, in the Quebec, Canada, son of Damase Perrault and Domitilde Durand (who were married on 14 June 1842 in same place.

Damase also emigrated to USA.

Victor emigrated on 1864, married to Eleonore Prince, on 4 March 1867 in
Assumption, Christian County, Illinois.

Victor died on 3 June 1910 in Centerville, Leelanau Co., Michigan.

If you want the list of his children, I will send it to you.

These Perreaults were in my own group.

The marriage record is lost. I don't know his origin place in France.
He was born on July 1654 in France, died on 21 May 1741 in Sainte-Anne-
la-Perade

He departed from La Rochelle, France, on First July 1678 and arrived at
Quebec, on next 24 July.
