I am looking for information on the St. Juliens (or Juliens) from Sorel Quebec. My ancestors moved from Sorel to Ontario sometime in the early to mid 1800s. The "Sorel" nickname followed the family and appears on many records, added to their names or used as a last name. This connection to Sorel must have been important to them. My G-grandfather was Oliver Julien who was married to Adelaide Labranche. I believe his father, also named Oliver, was born in Sorel abt. 1812 and died in Roxoborough Ontario in 1900. I have found several St. Juliens on a muster for the Prescott Ontario militia in 1829, so I believe my ancestors had arrived sometime earlier. I am not sure if the men listed are my direct ancestors as no other information aside from their ages is given. Thanks. Lori
