Bonjour Jean-Francois,
Thank you for your reply Padre. I have one more question that you may be able to help me with. I have just recently been informed that my great grandmother Elizabeth Pettipas was the daughter of Benoni and Francoise. Do you have any information that may confirm this report? Elizabeth married Angus McLellan in Souris, PEI, 12 Aug 1874. My grandmother Margaret Elizabeth also mentioned an Uncle Gilbert (possibily Elizabeth's sibling) who died in a snow storm with one leg over a fence. A strange enough story that might be remembered by someone. As you may have guessed I don't speak or write french, oddly enough apart from a few words I was able to read your last message. Thanks again.
Just for your info I have a good friend who's maiden name was Pettipas (Rita), her father Alvin Pettipas has compiled a large book on the Pettipas family. I have actually gone through the book but he has no knowledge or information on Elizabeth. Once again any help is most appreciated.
Take Care
