Antwine Abare was the first born son of Antoine Abare. Joseph Abair was the second born son and my wife's great-great grandfather. All three were born in Quebec with the correct French surname "Hebert". When they immigrated to upstate NY in the 1800's their names were changed by the census takers and others. All three were illiterate and couldn't spell their names. The correct French pronunciation of "Hebert" is "Abare" or "Abair"
