Hi Beth,
All the Fanaff's, Fanef, Faneuf, & Phaneuf are descendants of Mathias Farnsworth Phaneuf & Catherine Charpentier from Quebec. Mathias & Catherine were married in Riviere des Prairie Quebec and raised their 12 children there. My direct ancestors moved to StAntoine then to L'Acadie Quebec, from there to Ontario in the early 1800's as far as I can trace between 1820 & 1830.
In the early census 4 brothers are listed as having moved to Ontarie from Quebec, Joseph, Maxime, William & Francois (Francis). Francois is my great grandfather. Some moved to the US in many differnt areas.
Francois my grandfather moved to Rhode Island the family grew up there. When they moved back to Ontario my father was in his mid twenty's.
From the info I have my G G Grandfather seems to be the only one that moved to Ontario in those early days, most of the others went to several areas in the US.
If you had the name of your Frank's father I think I could trace him back to Mathias & Catherine. Good luck on your earch.
