You may have good luck with that search as the Catholic church usually keeps very good baptismal records. I have a cousin who was able to trace my Dad's family back five generations to the first guy who landed on PEI back in the late 1700's. He came from the Brittany region in NW France. It's always interesting to see what your ancestors were up to.
I discovered that after my grandfather's first wife died he married a woman twenty years younger than him. They had a big family but he died in 1934 and left my grandmother to raise a family of nine by herself. She was the only grandparent I ever met and got to know. Amazing woman.
