neither could find her record. Nor has a diligent search of church
records in that area by local researchers found her. Are the St-Paul
baptismal records available for search? Could someone look there for me? >>

Hi Patricia.

There's another parish you might like to check out....St. Theresa in EAST
Blackstone. Then there's the AFGS (American-French Genealogical Society) in
nearby Woonsocket, Rhode Island, with its several (at the time) "French"
parishes. AFGS is in possession of the records of all the parishes of the
area, and they do look-ups for a modest fee.

Good hunting. Patrick
