Maine Family with Fr Canadian/English/Irish Links

My lineage is primarily Maine based from 1820 to current, before that time, it appears that My mother's ancestors ( Peters - White - Boullie/Bulley - Cochran - Suitter/Sutter - Jackson - Marshall - Brackett - Parks )were first generation New Brunswick, Canada residents of English (possibly Loyalists)and Irish ancestry; and my father's ancestors ( Hutchings - York - Cooper - Stickney - Meader - Austin - Lessard - Turcotte - Gilbert - Gregorie - Morin - Caouette - Loubier - Rancour - Poulin - Longchamp - Day - Grenier - Gagne - Gagnon and many more lines before 1700 ) were of Maine 1820's English families and of a long lineage of French Canadians that had first explored the areas of the St. Lawrence River and settled in areas surrounding Sainte Anne de Beaupre, Quebec, P.Q., Canada.
My research started some 30+ years ago, with a family story: as children we were told our ancestor was the person who gave the land to the Catholic Church to build what is now known as the Basilica Sainte Anne de Beaupre, in Canada. I started in the Maine State Archives copying all the records I could find with the last names I knew were in my family, and started putting the pieces together. I wanted to know of as many of the descendents of each of my ancestors as possible. So I am not only going back in my family tree, but shaking the branches and trying to find all of the children.

If you find we have a link in common, please contact me, I may have more available on that link.

In my French Canadian family links, which I am still typing into my new system I have over 70,000 individuals as descendents of my ancestors, going back 19 generations into France - and Belgium. I do not expect to have the French Canadian file submitted for some time, but if you are having trouble making "your French Canadian" connection; contact me I may be able to help on line or tell you of some on-line links or books to check out.
