We are looking for the decendants of Celestine Boudreau. We found him on the 1860 Illinois - Iroquois County census; listed with his brother Alphonse Boudreau

1860 Iroquis County, Beaver Twp. p.24
169/156 BAUDIRAU, A. 34 M W Farmer Canada
Cecilia 33, F W Canada
Celestine 3 M W Illinois
Celestines 33 M W Canada

This is the only clue that Alphonse Boudreau had a brother. Alphonse Boudreau married Cecilia Allain (ALLEN) on October 19, 1851, in Will County, Illinois. The father and brothers of Cecilia were Michael, Antoine and Ambrose Allain, who were the first to settle in St. Anne, Illinois.

Alphonse and Cecilia had four children (Adeline, Alexandre Alfred, Charles Celestine and Angeline) were born in St. Anne. In 1868, they traveled by covered wagon with a group of French-Canadians to Dakota County, Nebraska. However, as far as we know Celestine Boudreau was not with them. Accept, for him being on the 1860 census, we know nothing about Celestine Boudreau; so we would like to find his descendants. Maybe, they could help us find the ancestors of Alphonse and Celestine Boudreau.

Pierre Boudreau Senior, is connected to the Allains through the marriage of his children and we would like to learn more about him also, to see if he is related to Alphonse and Celestine.

Thank you,
Mary Boudreau
