We found additional records on Frank E. Trahan. His parents were Henry Trahan and Exilda (yes, Exilda - not a deviation) Bourgeois Trahan according to an old application. Birthplaceof teh couple is merely listed as Canada. It appears Frank was born in Cohoes.
An article in the Troy Record, from July 1, 1957, states Frank started G. A. Trahan Co, an interior decorating company, with his brother George. Then he operated a gas station in Cohoes for 22 years, before blindness forced him to retire. He then worked for the Association of the Blind in Albany making white sheepskin moccasin belts.
Any info on Henry & Exilda's specific place of origin would be appreciated.
