Ruth,

You've probably found the information you were looking for
since you posted your 1999 message.
I believe your Lvite (Leavite) Bourgoin was my Grandmother
marie's brother.
There parents were Pierre Bourgoin and Alexina Theriault.
Pierre and his brother's Etienne, and Denis immigrated
to Drummond, NB with their father (also a Pierre) after
1881. The family was in St Clement, Quebec, the Riviere
du Loup area in 1881.
There were other Bourgoin's in New Brunswick related to us
further back.
Let me know if you've come to this same conclusion.
Best,
Herb
