Hello Eugene,

I found this earlier at Genealogie.org. It is the only source I have found that states that Paul Trepanier & Marguerite Vallieres are Joseph's parents.From the St. Joachim 100th Aniversary Book it says that brother Alpha went to visit his older brother Joseph that moved from Quebec to Hayward, Wisconsin in 1848. Below is the information from Genealogie.org. Also see my database at Rootsweb.com http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&...
