From "West Havre Boucher, Linwood, Frankville: A Journey to the Past" by Evelyn DeCoste, p. 149: "The property of Herman Hendsebee was originally owned by Augustus Levangie, always referred to as "P'tit Usin." Augustus' first marriage was to Angelique Mathe'. From this marriage there were 10 children: Alexander 1848 (m. Mary Jane O'Neil); Celeste Sarah 1850 (m Louis Lavandier); Ludvinie "Devine" (m. Timothe Lavandier; m. Fidele Briand); Jeremiah "Remi" 1854 (m. Marguerite Lavandier); Michel 1856 (m. Marie Sophie Breau); Marie c. 1858 (m. Simon D'Orly); Ursule 1860 (m. Charles De Coste); Angelique "Jane" 1862 (m. Alexander De Coste); Philomene 1865 (not in the 1871 census); Elizabeth 1867 [m. William Alexander Delorey]." "In 1878, after the death of his wife, Augustus married Anne "Nancy" Cote' the widow of Edouard DeCoste. Edouard DeCoste, who drowned on the Kate in 1876 at the age of 34, and Nancy had four children: Elie Henry 1869; Edouard Peter 1871; Anne Brigitte 1874 (m. Joseph Deslauriers of Linwood); Joseph Louis 1876 (born shortly after his father's death. Died at 1 month." "Augustin and Nancy had two children: Elizabeth Jeanne 1880 and David Arthur 1883." "After Augustus' death Nancy continued to live here with her daughter Elizabeth "Lizer." Older people in the community remember that Lizer liked to play the accordeon. At one time one of the neigh- bours had made a pot of fudge and as was the custom, put it outside to harden. However, it was stolen by a passerby, and after Lizer got word of it she composed a song in French "Le pot a fudge!" Nancy died in the late 1930's. One remarkable event that took place at her death was that her body was sent down from Antigonish on the train, and her casket remained at the station until her funeral. There was no wake. Lizer continued to live alone in her old homestead. A bad fall caused her to break a hip and after passing some time in the hospital, she stayed with Paul and Josephine Levangie for a short time before moving in with Amelia Boucher. She died in 1960. After her passing the property was listed with her stepsister Brigitte Deslauriers."

Hi List, I have finally put my Family Tree Maker webpage online. There are still some errors - they never end. If anyone has connections, comments, additions, etc., I welcome hearing from you. I keep waiting for perfection to happen! As always, if I can help anyone out in Antigonish I'm willing to try. If I don't have to leave the house, it's free. If I have to leave the house I charge a small fee to cover expenses. Don't overwhelm me :-) , B&B season is about to start.

Fellow genealogists, Have you ever used the Internet to learn about genealogy methods and resources? Taken a genealogy course online? Read some 'how to' articles? Then I would like to hear from you. I am an Australian Ph.D. student who is currently writing a book chapter for an academic Virtual Learning Environment publication - my chapter is about using the Internet for genealogical education. I would therefore love to hear from you, fellow genealogists, about any Internet-based content you've used for genealogy education. This includes online courses (free or fee), how-to's, articles/columns, newsgroups, BBS, chat, mailing lists, forums, or even personal web pages that publish learning material - anything online that helps you in learning the craft of genealogy. Your comments on the following is of utmost interest: What are your favourite learning outlets on the Internet? How often do you use them? Can or did you find what you needed online? What are your learning successes? What could be better? What do you look for in genealogical learning on the Internet? If you would like to participate, your comments are extremely welcome. Please send your comments to me directly at [email protected] before Saturday 1st May 2004. I thank you in advance for your participation in this academic research. Kylie Veale P.S. Names and email addresses will be protected and are therefore not included in the publication.
