I am looking for an Eva Guillet who married Fred Sweet (may be Americanized name), who resided in Athol, MA in the 1940-1950's. This couple was probably born in Quebec. Any help you could give me as to where to search, if not direct information, would be greatly appreciated. MASmith

Taking a look at GUILLET surname, it looks the earliest (1626) may have been an Acadian. Quite a few tree on line for this name: http://www.thenavarres.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I15380&tree=NavarreAndrus For more just google the surname + genealogy. Lots of info which might lead to interesting research.

Did this area have directories? Did you look in the telephone listings to see if anyone in the family is still living? In Canada we have a Canada 411 which is most helpful in locating people if you enter the names. If the immigrated to the U.S. this late dates, should be an immigration file or border crossing file?? Googling "Fred Sweet + genealogy" came up with this and a lot of other sites you may wish to look at. http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.chautauqua/8176/mb.ashx?pnt=1 Lauraine > > From: "MASmith" <momsmith@fnwusers.com> > Date: 2009/08/17 Mon PM 01:57:13 CDT > To: <can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com> > Subject: [CAN-USA-MIG] Guillet m Sweet > > I am looking for an Eva Guillet who married Fred Sweet (may be Americanized > name), who resided in Athol, MA in the 1940-1950's.

The LDS citations for some of my family lists events such as births and marriages as occuring in "The Parishes of St George and St Patrick" in Shelburne. Is anyone familiar with these parishes? Would you know the name of a Church? The family members lived in or about either Birchtowne or Church Over. I am also trying to find who Charles Gustaf Walters might be. He gave his consent at the marriage of my great great grandparents, Samuel Rudolph(f) and Mary Boyd, who might have been a widow, maiden name Walters.
