HENRI PARQUETTE

Profile

(aka Paquette – Pacquet)

Henri would be my great grandfather.

Still working on him -- I haven’t been able to find information going back beyond Henri even though I have upgraded my ancestry.com to Worldwide and searched Canada and France.

Do you know how many Parquettes and variations. To search Henri Parquette comes up with well ove 300 thousand records? I'm slogging my way through.

Sorry, no pictures or anything.
