Kathy,
The MN in your message caught my eye. I have been researching my family who came from the Belleville area in Ontario and moved to MN. My g grandmother was a St. Louis. She was born in Belleville in 1842. Her father was Louis St. Louis.
In 1845 in Belleville, Joseph St. Louis and Margaret Bressette have a daugther Mary. I believe that this Joseph is my g grandmother's uncle.
My g grandmother married my g grandfather and in 1877 they moved to Minnesota.
In 1878, they had a son, John. The sponsors at the baptism were Joseph St. Louis and Marguerite Bressette.So it appears that Joseph St. Louis and Marguerite Bressetee also moved to Minnesota.
In 1878 and again in 1879, there are baptism records for which one of the sponsors was Marie Bressette.
(The Minnesota records are in French; the Ontario records are in English!)
Does this fit with what you are looking for?
