INTERNET RESEARCH Ted came into contact with diawe@dsuper.net who is researching the Pitre line. She established our Pitre lineage given the information we already knew. She found that the parents of Joseph Pitre (Joseph Cayen) were Alexis Pitre and Marie-Josephine Chenard. They were married 8 Jan 1866 in Deschambeult, Quebec.
