I can take this line back more generations if you need that? In a message

Hello.I am currently researching my 4x great grandfather, Jean Louis Regeas
Laprade. I have accumulated many records to map his life, but there is a 38
year gap that I have been unable to solve yet. He was born in 1741 at Lanoraie,
Quebec, and I have his baptism church record. The next documents I was able to
locate are his church marriage record and marriage contract, from 1779. He
married Catherine Duval, and I collected baptisms of their children. The
question I am trying to solve is what happened to Jean Louis during the 38 year
gap. I have been tracking down various engagement records looking to find out
if he was employed in the fur trade. I also have been looking through lists of
soldiers, to determine if part of that time was in military service. But have
not been able to find anything yet. I have also been hunting through census
records, but as they are not indexed, its time consuming to sift across them.
Any suggestions where I should be focusing my research efforts to try and fill
that 38 year gap? Thank you. Erik LaPrade
