Posted on: Manitoba, Canada Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Manitoba/General/2361 Surname: CHARTIER ------------------------- I am looking for information about my French Canadian relatives who may have roots in the Richmond/ Windsor, Quebec Canada area. My grandfather, now deceased, was Wilfred Chartier and my grandmother Claira,are originally from the towns of Richmond and Windsor, they are both now buried in Richmond. I live in the states, in Plattsburgh, just 20 minutes from the border. My grandparents moved to the U.S. when my dad was only ten years old, he is 58 now. Up until they moved to the states my dad and his siblings did not speak english. Unfortunately, my cousins and I were not taught french, so the bilingual era ends with my dad and his siblings. I'm sure that I have many french speaking relatives in the Richmond area that I have not met. I'm interested in finding out more about my origin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Velvet Chartier, daughter of John Chartier, granddaughter of Wilfred and Claira Chartier
