Thank you Dennis! Awesome history!

The Frenzy of Mi-Carème is at our doors! Indeed, the tradition that goes back to the beginning of the 19th century at the Magdalen Islands is in full swing these days. Once again, it is possible to feel all the frenzy which inhabits the village of Fatima, and a good number of citizens who come from the four corners of the Islands, to join them for these three days of of colorful festivities. At the dawn of this period of amusement, here is a brief portrait of this tradition celebrated here among us. The illustreous artist Gilles Vigneault, a native of Natashquan (on the North Coast of Quebec, and one of the places where Mi-Carême is still celebrated in Quebec), describes this feast as being “a game all done in mimed charades, a real board game of society.” In fact, this festival was not always focused on breathtaking costumes as we know it today. When it began to be celebrated, shortly after the arrival at the Islands in 1793, Rev. Jean-Baptiste Allain and about 200 Acadians and St-Pierrais with him, used all the “rags” which were discarded from the making of clothes to create costumes for this celebration. Today, while the values and traditions remain essentially the same, they are helped by a real parade of works of art, while certain Madelinot descendants have become masters in the making of these wacky costumes. Of course, in spite of certain changes in the culture of the festival, the fact remains that the warm basics of this celebration are still well established and that is why at the end of this month several small groups of disguised and masked people will once again make the tour of the houses of Fatima, identified as houses welcoming the “mi-carêmeux” (or mid-Lenters). And once again it will be a challenge to guess who is hidden behind the masks, all ending with a little glass of beer or “bagosse” and certainly several songs. Moreover, did you know that the festivities did not always take place over three days? Although it may seem surprising, it was not until the 1960s that Mi-Carême ran for more than a day. Last but not least, the tradition on our archipelago is another peculiarity, because, thanks to our rich musical heritage, Mi-Carême in the Islands is one of the most festive places to hum a few good choruses! In addition to Fatima and Natashquan, Mi-Carême is also celebrated at Cheticamp on Cape Breton Island. These three places continue a great and ancient Acadian tradition. Several videos posted by Micheline Cyr accompany the article (in French) is at the following (be sure to click on your sound) to accompany these great videos of various groups of costumes: http://www.ilesdelamadeleine.com/2017/03/la-frrrrrenesie-de-la-mi-careme-est-a-nos-portes/ This is part of my Acadian heritage, and I'm glad to share it with you.

Upon arrival of the first French settlers in the Haut-Richelieu, the river is named "River of Montreal" (Rivière de Montréal) and "Little River Montreal" (Petite rivière de Montréal). >From the mid-nineteenth century, the segment of the river in the area of Sainte-Marguerite-de-Blairfindie is designated "River of Acadia"; it is where the exiled Acadians settled after 1768, however, the segments downstream and upstream, keep the designation of "Little river Montreal". These settlers were deported from Canada named their adopted land "La Cadie", "La Petite Cadie" (little Cadie) or "La Nouvellle Cadie" (New Cadie) in memory of the country of their origin, the old Acadia. The course of the river flows through seven municipalities (or cities): Hemmingford <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemmingford,_Quebec_(township)>, Saint-Patrice-de-Sherrington <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Patrice-de-Sherrington,_Quebec> (where it flows eastward) Saint-Cyprien-de-Napierville <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Cyprien-de-Napierville,_Quebec>, Napierville <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napierville,_Quebec>, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu,_Quebec> (Saint-Luc and Acadia sector), Carignan <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carignan,_Quebec> and Chambly <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambly,_Quebec>.

EARLY IN NEW FRANCE AND ON Have you had your DNA done which tests? 23 & Me I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE MINIMAL FRENCH DNA CONNECTION VIA MY 23&Me REPORTS , UNTIL I READ THE POSTS ON THIS BLOG ABOUT FRANCE AND ITS DNA RESTRICTIONS. I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE INPUT ABOUT DNA AND TESTING AND WILL READ MORE - BEFORE ANOTHER TEST. Any other Genealogical projects you are working on? WANT TO PUT THE FAMILY INFORMATION TOGETHER IN DIFFERENT WAYS, VERBALLY AND NON-VERBALLY. PERHAPS CATCH THE ATTENTION OF SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW THEY ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN THE FAMILY GENEALOGY. What else would you like us to know? I TOO HAVE FOUND LARGE AND SMALL LIBRARIES VERY HELPFUL AND REALIZE THAT LEAVING FAMILY INFORMATION IN THESE PLACES MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO ANOTHER INTERESTED PERSON. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY WONDERFUL SURPRISES AND ENCOUNTERS WITH OTHERS IN THE GENEALOGY ROOMS OF THE LIBRARIES. What family associations do you belong to? Do you have a blog, web site or online database you would like to share? NO Any unique resources you will do lookups? Do you like the "how related" we occasionally do? Do more, less, too personal? YES Do you like our holiday breaks with recipes, family stories & traditions? YES Hold your brick walls we will try & work them after the roll call.

The images of the different register index pages by letter is available by letter within year ranges You get the year & register number so you can order the image of the original document -----Original Message----- From: Genealogy à la carte Alberta civil registration indexes released online by Gail Dever http://genealogyalacarte.ca/?p=18744 http://provincialarchives.alberta.ca/how-to/find-birth-marriage-death-records/Default.aspx There was lots of excitement on social media yesterday as news travelled like wildfire about the Provincial Archives of Alberta's online release of the index of Alberta's civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths. You can now browse the indexes for births to 1897, marriages to 1942, and deaths to 1966. Note that these are indexes, not the actual records. But think of the time you save by looking at these indexes from the comfort of your home, instead of travelling to an archival centre to view microfilm images. From these indexes alone, genealogists are discovering the year their ancestor was born. http://genealogyalacarte.ca/?p=18744 http://provincialarchives.alberta.ca/how-to/find-birth-marriage-death-records/Default.aspx
