Hi Mike,

My French connection is via a French soldier who = left=20 Canada after the French lost it to England and migrated down the = Mississippi to=20 the Louisiana Opelousas outpost in 1774.

There are a number of researchers doing research = on those=20 with a "Louisiana" connection and also a number doing same with any = "Canadian"=20 connection. The Catholic Church retained many valuable records = that these=20 researchers have made use of. You would be surprised at the = number of=20 resources on the internet.

Send me an e mail if = interested.
