NOTE: Email from cousin, Jherryd Jhordynn, 24-Oct-2007 states that "Pierre & Alphonsine had two KNOWN sons before the ones you have. They were Louis & Pierre Jr. They were both married and way from home when you read the census. Louis married Felicite BOIVIN July 18, 1887 at St.-Antoine-Abbe. Her parents : Paul & Salomee Thibodeau. Pierre Jr married Eliza Livernois June 26, 1894 St. Antoine -Abbe Her parents were Moise & Suzanne Bonneau.I am almost positive that Obeline & Alphosine were Eliza's Aunts as Moise was likely their brother."
