Barbara: Sure looks like French-Canadian ancestry to me! I am descended from no less than *five* children of an original immigrant to Quebec, Pierre Simard dit Lombrette. Talk about a twisted ancestry. I keep myself straight by printing a series of pedigree charts, so that each line is represented back to the immigrant. Start with yourself and print a 6 generation pedigree chart. Then, print pedigree charts for persons 16 through 31. This takes care of the majority of the lines. If not, I write the final generation or two on the back of the pedigree charts numbered by hand 16 - 31. I've also printed myself an index to direct ancestors and label them, line 16, line 17, etc so I know where to find them in my pedigree charts. Hope this helps, Deb
