We need help especially with direction to go regarding records and sources. We know they all lived in Mooers, Clinton County, New York, USA. Any help is appreciated.

The hardest part is the French language barrier and the spelling variations we need help with in this research. 

1915 New York Census shows the family with typos of spellings which seems to be common for this name. See link https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/15892414?h=772788

I added some sources to Michael's profile. I found Michael & Cornelia's marriage in 1900. That record states both of them were born in Champlain, New York.

I can't find the family in the 1880 Census.

Thank you so much for all the help I was able to update Michael and wife Cornelia and the kids. We passed our Brick wall ancestor!!!
You're more than welcome Andrew! I'm glad I was able to find some sources for you!!

Dubuque is definitely a variation/misspelling of Dubuc.

Borry/Borrie could be an anglicized version of Barré/Bourré/Bourret.

I don’t really know what spelling to use for last name. Sons death record for Alfred is Borry shows father as Borry. The marriage record of Michael and Cornelia Dubuque the spelling is Borie. What is recommended?
Use whatever’s on the birth/baptism record as LNAB but I guess I’d rely on the marriage or death record for the current spelling.
