I was told that my grandfather's dad, Charles Parenteau, founded a town that he pronounced as "Twatna" with his French Canadian accent. I always thought that town was in Ontario, but can't find it on any map. What do you think? Have you ever heard the name Parenteau, or how the town was founded?<br /><br />Jenn--any chance you have headstone photos from that cemetery that you would be willing to post or share?
