Pardon my very late response; however, I just happened upon your post while in search of another Trahan.
I would mention that Napoleon was Jean Baptiste napoleon Trahan, born March 30, 1844 in Quebec, and died February 10, 1889 in Cloud County, Kansas.
He married Philomene Granger October 2, 1866; Philomene, as Roger indicated, was daughter of Jean Olivier Granger and Catherine Poirier. Philomene died March 3, 1900 Riviere Qui Barre, Alberta, Canada.
I would note also that Napoleon and Philomene had two sons, Alfane and Joseph.
Catherine Poirier was daughter of Etienne Poirier and Josephe Leber.
