Dear Jan, Thank you for your insight into the history of Eastern Canada during this time period 1830-1850.It does help to explain the migration of these folks to the US.My dad's story was that this Michael Casey/Tasey/Tessier was in trouble with the law over a fur trading deal.Thus he changed his name to Casey.That may explain part of his history but I think the name change also had to do with record keeping.The census records show him to have been born in French Canada.I will try your suggestion to see if any info turns up on his parents. Thanks again.Sara Burkholder
