Hi Catherine - I'm searching for Jean Baptiste LaFond & Philomene Plourde as well. They are my 3rd great-grandparents. Since we are related, I'd love to share whatever clues could help. Yet, I do see you made this post a bunch of years ago (Feb 2003) and its now Jan 2012, so maybe you've discovered more too. I'd love to connect! I don't know if this message will even get to you, but it's worth a shot.
