    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/7aB.2ACEAE/844.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Jean Marie & Heather, I believe the town is Rivere-au-Tonnerre (Cote Nord), QC. I have the translation into English as follows: Tonnerre 15 Oct 1943 Dear Madame, Yesterday, Thursday, I received the photos and I am eager to return them to you. I hope that you will find them in good shape, but it is too bad that you do not have one for me. I am sending you the photo of their dear father who I miss very much. Finally, dear Madame, I am addressing to you their names as well. 1. Lucien (male) 2. Bernard (male) 3. Marc (male) 4. Violette (female) 5. Maurice (male) and 6. Fernande la Blondine (female) (Could this be Fernande BLONDIN?) Hoping that it will please you to read this, receive, Madame, also my sincere thanks and salutations, and the children embrace you (and?) all the familly Madame Ve. (Veuve, i.e. Widow) Darchy 40 rue Jean Garnier You could be correct with Darcy, but perhaps also a corruption of Haché. Hope this helps somewhat, Dennis Boudreau
