Hello!
I am looking for the origins of my husband's great-grandmother Marguerite / Margaret / Maggie Paquette (m. Pierre/Peter Seguin 24 June 1907 or 1908 Hawkesbury Ontario).
She was born between 1889-1891, to Joseph Paquette (b. 1865 in West Hawkesbury) and Valerie Monette (b. July 1871 in L'Orignal) who were married 2 Aug 1886 in Vankleek Hill.
Joseph Paquette's parents were Thomas Paquette (b. abt 1833 in Ontario) and Matilda Deshaitres (b. abt 1841 Ontario). Matilda's name is variously read on different documents as Domethilde/Domitille/Mathilde/Matilda and Deshaitres/Destutus/De****ies/Dabetre.
Valerie's parents were Paul Monette and Sophie Boileau (no additional info).
The Paquettes appear in various census years in Hawkesbury/Vankleek, and I have information on Marguerite's and Joseph's siblings, but I can't trace the ancestors any farther back.
Is there anyone out there with any additional information? Marguerite was probably of First Nations or Metis descent, is this why I am having trouble finding further records?
Thanks!
Tara
