Yes, hello cousin! I have that information with some exceptions.You list Ludivine Breault, David Menard's wife as being born in France but she was baptised at St-Simon, Quebec on March 12, 1851 (at the age of one day.)Her sponsors were her maternal grandparents, who ended up raising her.They are listed as Pierre Bolduc and Francoise St Martin (ST Mars or Guillet).Her parents were Joseph Breault and Franquoise Bolduc.She was indeed an orphan as her parents came to Illinois in 1856 and her father died May 30, 1856.We know the approximate date of immigration because little sister was buried in route in Ontario Auust 26, 1855.The mother Francoise did indeed remarry to Joseph McKullough July 29, 1861.I have never found the date of her death but Joseph McKullough remarried Osite Alexandre Feb 12, 1866.I found all of those marriage records in the Catholic Churches in Illinois.David Menard and Ludivine Breault were married at St Anne, IL probably but the Church had not yet been built so the record was filed April 29, 1867 at St Mary's Church in Beaverville, IL.Again Pierre (Peter) Bolduc was buried at St Anne, IL in 1868 but Francoise # 1 went to live with her widowed son Joseph and I haven't found the death record for her.Feel free to contact me at my e-mail but right now my computer is on the blink.
