John and Sarah Bernard
John and Sarah Bernard were born in France, and came to the US perhaps on the AMERIKA from Bourdeaux arriving in New Orleans in 1843.Their ages of 57 fit the passenger list.However, the 2 daughters, Marie (or Mary E) age 7, and Alphonsine, age 8, do not quite match with my data from other sources.
A story handed down in the family is that they were from Bernard, France.Could this be LeBernard in the Poitou section of France?I have found another near Beauvoir-Sur-Mer.
Any help appreciated.
