Have an old family tree with generation after generation of JOHN AMYs on it. Few dates, few wives' names. Am tracing a line that wound up in Quebec, CAN in the 1800s. The given name RAULIN was used frequently to this date. The surname PAYN was used as a given name and I can't help but think it was a mother's surname.

Can anyone give me any leads and help me unsnarl this mess?
