Back in September I wrote this email [shortened here]: --------------------- Good Morning, I'm inviting each of you to participate in an "experiment" to see if it proves to be a profitable exercise. I am submitting below the form which will be used. I will also post this under "History" on the website. You might prefer to print it out from there, since it is more likely to look better. The experiment: Use this form to enter information on your Great Great Grandfather [or Mother].... whoever is your Degruy ancestor.... I would prefer that you email it to me or Celine as an attachment, or within the context of an email, and let us do the posting to the web site so that we can keep an eye on space used.... Note that we are starting with more recent generations. If this is successful, we can move a generation back in time. [This is the way DAR applicants are instructed to proceed; of course, they start with the Mother and Father, not the Great Great Grandparents. Because DAR submissions are made in a 'private' format, private information is protected, especially with regards to living, or recently living, persons.] Hope we can find some willing participants. ------------------ Now, it's November and I'm making a second appeal. Please consider filling this out and sending it to us to post. I'm including the categories in this email.... or you can print it out from the website. We need your help is tracing back the various lines of Antoine & Marie Therese's children. By the way, I am posting Louise Degruy's Ancestor Chart today. I've already posted Pierre De Gruy's: -------------------------- ANCESTOR DATA SHEET (S) COMPILER: DATA ENTRY DATE: REVISIONS: NAME OF PERSON: ALIASES: RELATIONSHIP TO ME: RELATIONSHIP TO OUR MUTUAL IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR: GENERAL BACKGROUND: BEGINNING OF LIFE: BIRTH DATE: BIRTH PLACE: RELIGION: BAPTISM DATE: BAPTISM PLACE: BAPTISMAL RECORD: FATHER: MOTHER: CHILDHOOD: RESIDENCES: EDUCATION: NATIVE LANGUAGE: OTHER LANGUAGE: ADULTHOOD: MARRIAGE: MARRIAGE PLACE: SPOUSE: SPOUSE ALIASES: OCCUPATION: RESIDENCES: PROPERTY: BIBLE ENTRY: CENSUS RECORDS: CITY DIRECTORIES: LEGAL MATTERS: LAND PURCHASES: MILITARY INFORMATION: NEWSPAPER REFERENCES: MISCELLANEOUS REFERENCES: CHILDREN: [This form may be duplicated for each child] END OF LIFE: DEATH DATE: DEATH PLACE: DEATH RECORD: CORONER'S REPORT: OBITUARY/NEWS ARTICLES: INTERMENT DATE: INTERMENT PLACE: FUNERAL HOME RECORD: INTERMENT RECORD: DEATH INVENTORY OF PROPERTY: DEATH INVENTORY DATE: SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX: MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION: IMMIGRATION INFORMATION: NOTES FROM FAMILY MEMBERS: NOTES FROM PRINTED SOURCES: MATERIAL FROM OTHER RESEARCHERS: MATERIAL TO BE VERIFIED: (Revision as of 11-9-2008)
