My wife's great-grandfather Philias Chicoine was born in Canada and came to Cohoes NY about 1874. His death certificate listed Vercheres Quebec as his birthplace, and I was able to confirm his birth there in 1856 - 7 generations in the same place![Gilles, Pierre, Pierre, Francois, Pierre, Andre, Thomas, Philias (born 6 Apr 1856 in Vercheres)].
His brother Telesphore also came to Cohoes; both brothers died there in 1938 and 1931 respectively. Phillias married Julia Glendon in 1876 and had several children, but only two sons survived: George Henri and William E Chicoine. William had one child, my wife's mother. I've lost track of any children of George Henri.
