Would any of you have a Charles hanging around. He was born in Canada around 1860- give or take a year either way.

I have seen the last name spelled 3 ways for him: Daunais, Donais and Donah.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried this website www.donais.com? Under the decendants for Antoine Daunay (Donais) there is a Charles:

480 M ii. Charles Daunais was born on 27 May 1861 in St-Dominique and was christened on 28 May 1861 in St-Dominique.

Hope this helps.

I hadn't seen that entry there. An entry in the broken branches led me to Charles and his wife Virginie. That was the beginning of the name changes that I found and ultimately led me to find a whole side of my family.

I will look there again. Thank you.

I happened upon a website of The Plattsburgh Sentinel and found Charles' siblings in an obituary: Fred of Holyoke MA (who I believe married Charles' wifes sister) Edward of Plattsburgh, Mrs. Alfred Bushey of Plattsburgh and Mrs. John St.John (the deceased). Now to find their parents!
