Well done great job researching. I have to admit that researching is what I like to do, it is the writing that I find so hard.

Wonderful post! Would you mind sharing the source for the info on Gaspard and Nicole’s death in a house fire? PRDH doesn’t show a d.o.d. for them.

Thank you for your kind words. Here is one source that suggested that they died in a fire. Also one of the records…can’t remember which one, one of the daughters gave testimony that her father died in a fire.

Thank you for your research and sharing this story with us. I just came across your article and will share it amongst my siblings and cousins that are interested in such stories. In 2018, I visited Tourouvre, Perche, France and found it very fascinating including The Museum of French Emigration to Canada.

From what I’ve been able to piece together in my family tree investigations, I believe that Nicole Paigne is my first cousin, 13x removed. So this article was a very interesting read.
Thank you to the author.
