Marnie,
I have just started researching my mom's family.I have been working on my father's for awhile now.I received some info. from my grandmother.In St.Joseph's Church in Dannemora, New York there is listed the baptism of Marie Louise Vaudrin.She was baptised 8/31/1862.She was born 4/20/1862 to Thomas Vaudrain and Isabelle Bourrassa.Her godfather was Pierre Vaudrain.She married Moyse Chouinard, he was also born there and is listed at the church.His family was French Canadian.Since all the names associated with them are French I am assuming for now that they were also French Canadian.I am pretty sure that her husband's family came to America through Port Huron.My mom and grandmother say that my great grandmother Mayme Sweeney(chouinard) and her brothers used to celebrate Christmas Eve in the French Canadian manner.I still have to find out what this means.I hope this helps and look forward to hearing fromyou again.
