Hi, Denise, I was able to get my list of French words and phrases used in genealogy back. So I'm sending it on to you. Denise __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Debra, That is incredible. I feel the family link to history breathes life and connection to past in a way that would be hard to duplicate. (Not to discredit anthropological studies!)I mean really though, this is your family. How interesting they were on the Lewis and Clark trail. I live in Oregon and so this is of special interest to me, being familiar with their destination. My family left Lotbiniere in the late 1840's settling in Minnesota near Ft. Snelling at that time. I see evidence of some of the family members drifting around the great lakes prior to that. So interesting. Will look forward to receiving your info on the dialects. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the help. My ancestors from Lotbiniere are Boucher, Petit, Perrin, Martin, Douteau, Lemay, and the list goes on. I would have to dig deep in my database to find the rest.

Hi Denise, This is Denise Bober Eddy. I would love to receive your list! How wonderful that you spent time with your great grandmother, becoming familiar with her dialect. Thanks so much for sharing this. My family left much later than yours, but I would still be interested in seeing it. I did have some family near the area, and it may help.

Could you please send me the list of commonly used French words in the parish registers? After my ancestors moved from Lotbiniere in the 1700s, they developed their own dialect by the mid-1800s, which anthropologist refer to as Old Mines French. A few months back, the state of Illinois was preparing to close the doors to old French-Kaskaskian records in Randolph County. I was able to obtain copies of some of the older records from the mid-1700s, but most of them are written in the French-Canadian dialect. After years of researching and spending time with my great grandmother, I have come to understand the Old Mines French dialect well, but it is so different from the French-Canadian. I think your list might help me.

Hello, We have recently traced a family line back to the Lotbiniere area of Quebec. Specifically Louis Bosse who married Francoise Boucher in the early 1800s and had a child Joseph Bosse who married Margarite Perron in 1831. Margarite's parents we show as Michel Perron and M. Josephete Petit If this looks familiar to anyone or if anyone knows of good resrouces for the Lotbiniere area around this time as well as if there is a place to write for marriage records from around this time. I would appreciate any and all info. Thanks. -- ____________________________________________________________ Denis Alan Hainsworth | http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~denis/ denis@alumni.brandeis.edu | "Life is just one big sad christmas."

Hi there! My name is Johanne and I have 200 years of relatives from Lotbiniere!!! Out of all my hundreds of names from that village none of yours match mine although the surnames Perron and Petit are in my data base. You are in luck because those records are some of the best kept records in the world and the easiest to access. I don't know where you live but if you are close to a family history center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons) you could order those films (of which I could tell you the #'s) and look at the records yourself or the next time I'm at the Family History Center in Salt Lake City (the best place in the world for genealogy) I would be happy to look something up for you. The church has thousands of family history centers located all over the world. There's no need to send for marriage records because these microfilms are the original parish records. Also, I believe that somewhere near the Los Angeles area those records are also available without having to order them in. I hope that helps. Please let me know how I can help.

Hi, Denis, Have you ever searched through the parish registers on microfilm? They are really quite easy to read even for those who don't read French. The records are on microfilm at the Family History Center (LDS Church). I can't tell people enough how wonderful these records are. They are the ORIGINAL records, written at the time the event took place. I am not a member of the LDS Church but I certainly do appreciate all the work and expense they have gone through to preserve as many genealogical records as possible by putting them on microfilm. The Family History Centers are available to anyone interested in genealogy and there is a small fee to have the microfilm you need sent from Salt Lake City to your local FHC for a time (I think it's now 50 days .. but microfilm rental can be extended or even put on indefinite loan). The FHC has microfilm readers and should have a photocopier that you can use to make copies from the microfilm. I always make photocopies as my documentation of the baptisms, marriages and burials of all my ancestors. Consider this, the parish records usually give quite a bit of information: name, age, date, place, godparents, witnesses (not all records give all this information). A woman's maiden name is always used, so if you're looking at a marriage record, you immediately get both the bride and groom's mother's names and have added two new surnames to your family tree. If an event took place in a parish other than the family's parish, the priest will usually put in "from the parish of ...". So that gives you the parish to look for! Some of the more recent records (in the 1800's), the priest would often put in the occupation of the man and, in the case of godparents or witnesses, might even put in the relationship (example: in a baptism, "child's grandmother", "child's maternal aunt", etc.). Usually the cause of death was not given in the burial records unless it was something quite unusual. I have an ancestor whose two little sons were "killed by a bear in their bed". And another ancestor whose death was caused by getting caught in a bear trap. Others are said to have "died suddenly" and I would bet that those people probably died of heart attacks. I have even found records for an annulment in the parish records (the first husband of my ancestor was found to have a living wife in France when he married her .. she asked for an annulment from the Church and brought forth three witnesses. It's all in the parish registers!). I have more than once extracted and photocopied many, many records from one film. For Montreal, I probably found over 250 records that were for my ancestors and their children (a tolal of 3 films at the cost of about $3.75 each). To me, that is quite a deal. Sending for copies of records can get very expensive. Even when I only find one or two needed records on a film, I feel like it is a money well spent, not to mention the joy I get out of reading through those old records. Should you decide to try to use the parish registers, I am more than happy to help anyone in any way I can. I have a list of French words commonly found in the records .. you don't need to be able to read every single word. If anyone is having trouble reading a record and can scan it, I would be more than happy to look at it. I'm not claiming to be an expert at the French language, I'm far from it, but I have been reading the parish registers for more than 14 years. If you are interested in looking at the microfilm for the parish of St-Louis-de-Lotbinière at a Family History Center , the microfilm order number is: 1289936. This is for the years of 1697-1837 and contains baptisms, marriages and burials. I wish I had kept that particular film on indefinite loan (my Tousignant family lived there for quite some time and I had read through it several years ago) as I would have been happy to look up the information for you. Good luck .. sorry I keep getting on this "reading the parish registers" thing .. but I truly believe it is the best way to research our French-Canadian ancestors and find that so many people are afraid to try if they aren't French speakers (I was one of them at one time!). Denise Fortier Switzer PS ... so good to see your name spelled as the French speakers spell it! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Found marriage date for Arthur Bedard and Alphonsine Boucher in books at the Salt Lake City Family History Library.....13 October 1912 in Issoudun in one of the books, 13 October 1913 in (M) N. D. S. Coeur in another book. Don't know which one is correct. Her parent's names were listed Jean Baptiste Boucher and Delvina Bergeron. Made copies of the pages and wrote book titles but don't know if it's something you'd like. I'm new and this is my first post I've received from the list and don't know how all this works.

The latest addition to our websites is Jesuits in North America in the Seventeenth Century http://www.nanations.com/jesuits_in_north_america.htm This is going to take us a while to get online as it is over 30 chapters and each one is quite long. The Introduction of about 10 pages, provides a tremendous amount of information of many tribes in the United States and Canada. It is our plan to add 5 new chapters a week, so please keep coming back to learn more on this period in North American History. Thanks Judy home page http://www.itsjudy.com Fishing Facts http://www.fishingfacts.info Cooking Notes http://www.cookingnotes.org Garden Notes http://www.garden-notes.com

We have add 2 new fantastic pages to our websites, ones we feel will really assist in your search for your ancestors. Canada Directory http://www.canadiangenealogy.net/canada_directory.htm is now complete and provides the reader with the name of the towns in Canada in 1851, and a list of people and their occupations. We have also provided the Canadian Post Office directory for the same year http://www.canadiangenealogy.net/post_office_index.htm Indian Linguistic Families http://www.nanations.com/linguistic_families.htm is another great research tool. For example, in the Algonquian Family it lists 35 different tribes as members, some of which have changed over the years. The listing however might give you a clue as to why we often have people say their family was Blackfoot but lived in Pennsylvania or New York. Most of us think of the Blackfoot Nation as being in Montana or Canada. But the Algonquian as a linguistic family, are members of both. The reader should remember while perusing this manuscript, that it was based on known facts in 1891, and that those facts have not been updated or corrected. The book also provides you with additional reading on many of the tribes. We have linked the tribes to AccessGenealogy's Indian history pages, giving you the opportunity to check back and forth for additional histories and customs. Please enjoy and pass the message along to others. Judy Home Page http://itsjudy.com Cooking Notes http://www.cookingnotes.org Ask the Ladies http://www.asktheladies.com
