Here he is as a baby: ------------------------------------------- Joseph Alfred GIRARD Male Other Information: Birth Year <1880> Birthplace Quebec Age <1 Born: Jul; 9/12 Ethnic Origin French Head of Household Alfred GIRARD Religion Catholique Source Information: Census Place Ste-Valentin, Ste-Jean, Quebec Family History Library Film 1375841 NA Film Number C-13205 District 68 Sub-district B Division 2 Page Number 1 Household Number 4 -------------------------------------------- All I did was went directly to searching the census and looked for JO GIRARD born 1880, and he pops up in a small list born that year. Here is the household listing, showing his parents information: ------------------------------------------------- *Alfred* GIRARD M Male French 28 Quebec Cultivateur Catholique *Agnes* GIRARD M Female French 31 Quebec Catholique *Joseph* Alfred GIRARD Male French <1 Born: Jul; 9/12 Quebec Catholique -------------------------------------------------- So now you can narrow down your searching to Quebec, Canada. It seems there are alot of GIRARD/GERARD,etc in Quebec and a few in Ontario at the time of the 1881 Census... I hope this helps, and if you need anything further let me know, Paulette www.chodovepeople.com Karen wrote: >I found the World War I Draft Registration Card for my great grandfather at >ancestry.Com.
