I was born Polish, I married into the name of Quesnell, I produced 3 Quesnell children. I recieved this geneology from Quentin Quesnell who is in the 11 generation who decended from Pierre Quesnell born in 1630. Quentin Quesnell is a professor at Smith college in Boston. He is a writer and a scholar. He did extensive reasearch in 1992 and has visited the places which he gets his research from. Information for generation 1-5 was found in __DICTIONNAIRE NATIONAL DES CANADIENS FRANCAIS 1608-1760, PARTIEGENEOLOGIQUE, TOME 11, L-Z___ Information for generation 5-8 wasfound in the __REPERTOIRE DES PAROISSES, STE ANGNES DE DUNDEE 1861-1967__> Quentin actually physically traced the Quesnells and enlisted the help a of a translator. The Quesnels have varied their names several times over the past few centuries, it was spelled Cornell, Quesnelle also. Recieving this 36 page history made me want to do my side of the family for my children, and that is why I mentioned some of the ways in which our ancestors can be confusing, because my Great Grandparents used their names both in English, Polish and German, things get complicated. And I do have the documentation proving that middle names where changed to confirmation names as recent as the 1940's, this is not an assumption, it is a fact. Also if you access one of the canadian churches on line you will see how the native population was referred to savage until they were baptized. You have worked so hard to keep all the geneology straight, so I wanted to share the few little details I found to be unual, it may give clues to the past. I do not want to question your reasearch, but share things which might make someone's search easier.
