| In July of 2002 we located our ancestors in the 1881 Canada Census. We have now located our family in the 1871 Canada Census. Our first known ancestors that immigrated to Marquette, Michigan used the spelling, DUCHANE on various official records. In the 1881 Canada Census the name was spelled DUCHAN. In the 1871 Canada Census the spelling was much different, DUCHESNEAU. We have determined that DUCHESNEAU was the original spelling of our family name. Having that information has put us in contact with other Duchesneau's. Although we don't know what, if any relation we are to them, it gives us a new area to search. Below is what we now know about Thomas Duchesneau. |
