Hi folks, I have zillions of CT lines, but the one I'm always most interested in, is DURAND, relating to Francois Joseph Durand and Patience Weed..

My grandmother had a ton of friends in Conn, and I have photos of many of them. They all lived in Old Greenwich or Greenwich- or nearby areas Shadduck Arata, Louis Smith,Harold Smith, Robert Jackson and Yumi ( a diving champion) LeVoie Kottmeier Ed Tabell Blair Hilditch Henderson, Beers Colegrove Hunt, Joseph ClarK Rainey MacConnell- Stamford Ryans Vanneman Etc etc etc For anyone with relatives in Old Greenwich, there is a history of the town in the Greenwich library. They have many histories there that you can buy. Sue Maxwell

OK, I'll joint the movement here and post my lines. These are the known US lines, and mostly in Fairfield, Litchfield, New Haven and Middlesex counties, some are well researched and documented, some rely on older work that is always suspect without genetic studies, etc. I've excluded my European and Canadian names. Some of them repeat several times through the generations, Curtis and Perkins for instance, three of one and five of the other.

For Chittenden families, there is a fellow in Australia who has been working on a one-name study for years, and this is his web site _www.chittenden.com.au_ (http://www.chittenden.com.au) . He is now retired, and has an interesting story of his life and work at this address _http://www.chittenden.com.au/More%20About%20Me.htm_ (http://www.chittenden.com.au/More%20About%20Me.htm) I corresponded with him for a number of years as I came across various Chittendens as I researched in Connecticut. He visited the US with his son not long ago and went to many of the sites in New England where Chittendens have made their mark. Carol **************Play online games for FREE at Games.com!

I live in Madison (seasonally) and visxited the Archives there and notice they have books/family genealogy etc on the CHITTENDENs. The part of Madison where they still live used to be part of Guilford I believe. I also have an old map where they name the houses and there is a string of CHITTENDENs on the road going towards Guilford. If you are in Connecticut the Archives is the yellow building on the green and is only periodically open. Call 203-245-5667 - they are very helpful.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: mindfoggs2 Surnames: LAVALLÉE, PELOQUIN Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.connecticut.unknown/4719.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Gilberte, Not too many Peloquin families in RI until the 1870's it seems. I could find none in Woonsocket in 1860. And a check of the 1865 census for Woonsocket showed just one Peloquin variant - Oliver Pelaquin b. Canada, 17 years old, a cotton operative boarding with Clement Gangion & family on River St. in Woonsocket. The other information from the RI Archives is equally discouraging. For the period of 1850 to 1878 there is no birth record filed in Woonsocket or elsewhere in RI for a Norbert Peloquin or variants. Here are the births that were registered Woonsocket and other places; all locations where there was a large textile mill presence: Poliuqin, Flora, of Joseph & Lena, April 26, 1867, North Smithfield Polaqin, Eleanor, of Joseph I. & Elleanor, Mar., 1870, Pawtucket Poliquin, Clara, of Joseph & Celina (Meunnier), Aug. 9, 1872, Pawtucket Poliquin, Joseph Leon, of Joseph & Lena, May 18, 1877, Pawtucket Peloquin, François, of François & Adeline, July 19, 1877, Woonsocket Peloquin, William, of Oliver & Laurence, Sept. 13, 1878, Warwick Palaquin, Rosana, of Louis & Emma, Oct. 17, 1878, Woosocket My thoughts on the above are that 1. maybe because the family was intending upon returning to Canada, they waited and registered the birth up there ~~~Or~~~ Norbert was actually born in Blackstone or Bellingham, MA both of which border Woonsocket. There are lots of places where one house is RI and next door or the next street over is MA. Was the family into multiple names and maybe his official birth registration is under another name besides Norbert? By multiples names I mean something like these examples from my own family - Louis Napoléon or Joseph* Jules Arthur. Louis Napoléon died as a child but Jules Arthur made it through to full adulthood and went by Arthur although Jules would seem to be his "first" name. *BTW, you probably know this but for others who might not, with French Canadian Catholics often times at baptism in honor of the Holy family, boys would receive the name Joseph and girls would get Marie. I haven't found too many instances in my Fre/Can lines of the use of Joseph/Marie extending beyond the one instance of use at the time of baptism....on rare occasions the honorary names have cropped up being used in one or two marriages or burials.

Hi Barb, I've sort of relied on that as my fallback solution, but I can't find anything concrete to tie them to. I'd like to find at least one parent, cousin, somebody who identified the loss of several family members during some epidemic. I've looked at _http://www.geocities.com/genchatlessons/medicalplagues.htm_ (http://www.geocities.com/genchatlessons/medicalplagues.htm) and found that there is a cholera epidemic around that time, but no direct connection to it. Cholera was the cause of death of some of my ancestors in that locale, but that is for the ones I know about, not these folks. This fellow has not been an easy one to pin down where deeds, etc. exist, and he has had a confrontation with the legal system for some transgression that is once again, not documented. I've looked at the CT State Archives and not found anything more because trial transcripts weren't kept in full context at that time. I've wondered if the wife and kids left him (or vice versa) and with a remarriage hiding the names, I have no access to them. If that were the case, descendants might not even know about the circumstances. But I still want to know where the name Burrage came into the line because once Samuel F. fathered Samuel B., the name Burrage popped up over and over again. The only Burrages I see in the neighborhood are in Wallingford and environs, but no connections. Where to go now? Thanks for your thoughts, on target as usual.
