Hi Carol nice to hear from you. Do your Berniers go back to Jacques Bernier? If so do you know which line from there? The names you mentioned that lived in NY are not familiar to me however I am searching for siblings or cousins of my Great grandfather Joseph Alexander Odile and do not know all names I am looking for yet. We believe Josephs parents Louis and Emilie came to U.S. Would love to hear more from you to see if there could be a connection. Thanks Gayla
