No worries Don. I'm only searching for the right information too. I do have information on Francois Clermont, but would be interested in articles on Alexis as well as the information on Francois' and Catherine's children in the 1850's. Out of curiosity, what do you have from Francois' date of death? I have an 1859 date, but am curious if you have something different. I also have a link beyond Francois (to what I believe are his ancestors) but haven't been able to prove it. There seems to be little information on Francois himself, although I keep searching.
