Kathy,
yes you are right, It is an odd coincidence that the names are so close, but I have found that there are alot of "repeaters" in families...Good luck with your search.
If by chance you find anything about an Alphonre/Elphage
Meunier b. 1858 in St.Cesaire(especially who his parents might be)let me know. St. Jean is not too far from there, it seems we are looking in the same area, and I know I have Louis' and Antoinettes in my family.
Have you checked with the person who posted the tree, maybe you could double check thier sources....
