Notes

Note: NI20991 William was sort of kidnapped, taken from Canada to Wisconsin when his mother had to leave him with a French family while she went to work to support her family after the father died while working in the US.
William John spoke only French when his mother came to Trempealeau from Canada with the other 3 children. To get to Trempealeau, she first took a boat to Cincinnati, Ohio, then caught an Ohio riverboat to Saint Louis. She then took a Mississippi riverboat from Saint Louis to Trempealeau County, Wisconsin.
