Kathy,
Berthiaume is a French Canadian name.After immigrating to the US, the English speaking people spelled Berthiaume from the sound of the name as spoken by the immigrants, I believe.There are several spellings to the name.Barcomb is the most common.I have also seen:
Barcome
Barkume
Barkyoumb
Barcumetc...
Steve Barcomb
PS
I have records for my Barcomb anscestors that show their names as Berthiaume.
