Thanks, Beth. Yes, since posting my message I too found Louis Prosper Guertin on Dennis Guertin's excellent Web site (http://www.guertin.com/genealogy/guertin/). It's very possible that this is the elder Prosper (the timing is right), though it's not particularly straightforward (when is it ever?).
There is no child listed as Prosper (i.e. the junior Prosper I'm looking for).However, there is a child named Nehemias.It may be that these are in fact the same person (Nehemias Prosper?).I say this because I have found birth records in Chicopee, Mass. for four children of Prosper and Olivie Bois (m. 1886 in Chicopee): Ernest (1889), Alfred (1891), Wilbrod (1894), and Alfred G. (1895). Except that for the first child, the father is listed as Nehemias, not Prosper!This confused me at first, unless Prosper and Nehemias are the same guy.
Anyway, it's a start.Thanks!
Cheers, Dave Guertin
