They were two brothers, last name of Babineau, and then ended up in the Maritime provinces of eastern Canada. One of my father's cousins traced the family tree back to France, and my Dad's baby brother went further back when he visited France. He used to take business trips to France a half dozen times a year, so he had ample opportunity to do the research. He's the one who found our ancestors in Toulouse. I just love knowing my family history on both sides - its so grounding to know where you came from!Denise Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393220639430224731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23128019.post-1084515308291283782007-11-23T07:16:00.000-05:002007-11-23T07:16:00.000-05:00I live about an hour and a half from Toulouse, whi...I live about an hour and a half from Toulouse, which is a beautiful city, in lovely rosy bricks...<BR/>I made the carrot salad, and it was really delicious...I shall be making it again.

My father's family came from Toulouse to what is now the eastern coast of Canada in the 1630s, I believe.
