CHARON/CHARRON dit DUCHARME dit DUSHARM

What a wonderful surprise to find relatives in NY state, persons whom I would never have found were it not for our photos of ancestors on Webshots, since there was a surname change from DUCHARME to DUSHARM. Below is their ancestral migration from QC to NY. Maybe you'll find some DUCHARME relatives among their descendants as I have.
