Basile et Marie-Eulalie Michaud choisirent d'émigrer et de chercher l'aventure industrielle en Nouvelle Angleterre, espérant y trouver une vie pleine d`opportunités. Ils se sont établis avec une bonne dizaine de leurs enfants dans la ville de Salem, Massachusetts, quelque temps entre le dernier baptême enregistré à Trois-Pistoles en novembre 1888 et la premier à Salem en novembre 1890.

Biography: Morency Vezina
|Excerpt from FROM NEW FRANCE TO NEW ENGLAND By Donald Morency of Washington, D.C.[4]
|-
|I am Morency of the tenth generation. My ancestry begins with my father Ernest, and continues with my grandfather, Joseph alias Vézina born on paternal land in Trois-Pistoles, which his father Basile abandons in 1889, to emigrate to the States with his large family. The latter was the son of Cyriac, Basile, Augustin, the pioneer at Rivière-Trois-Pistoles, then Basile, Joseph-Marie, and Guillaume de Sainte-Famille.
|-
|Unlike my traditionally land-working ancestors, who passed from Montmorency to Sainte-Famille and Trois-Pistoles, my great-grandparents Basile and Marie-Eulalie Michaud chose to emigrate and seek industrial adventure in New England, hoping to find a life full of opportunities. They settled with a dozen of their children in the city of Salem, Massachusetts, some time between the last baptism recorded in Trois-Pistoles in November 1888 and the first in Salem in November 1890. I never knew exactly what work Basile had found there, that's where he was to die in 1925.
