Thank you Linda. You are right, it is a bit steep. Perhaps I can find a "used" copy someone might want to sell.

The Genealogical Society of Southern Illinois - GSSI - would have copies of this. They have a website that lists all of their publications. If you write the society a letter requesting a look up you could find out if your family is in there. I usually enclose a check for $15 for a look up and that helps supports the society. It may not be necessary to do that but I know our local Society in California charges that much for look ups and I try to do the same for other societies when requesting information. Jo

Hi! I just saw Karima inquiry regarding this book. I did not know one existed, but would also be interested in knowing if it is available for purchase. Thank You! Joyce

Does anyone know if this book is still available for purchase, and if so, where? Thanks to anyone who can help me it. Karima ~ It is all one big circular puzzle and we all have pieces of the puzzle.

Bren thank you for posting my query that was on the BOUDREAU List on this ILSTANNE List, I never even thought of posting here. I need all the help, I can get in searching for my BOUDREAU line. Thank you, Mary Boudreau In a message dated 4/22/03 11:46:34 AM Central Daylight Time, Hébertbrenhebert@Yahoo.com writes: << Thought maybe someone might be able to help. I can't remember if Mary is on this list or not, but thought I'd pass it along anyway. Bren Slooogin@aol.com wrote:Hello Jim and Listers Thanks for replying to my posting for my BOUDREAU line on Rootsweb. All my French-Canadian lines: BOUDREAU PROVENCHER, GIGUERRE, ALLAIN and my cousins LA PLANTS> came through St. Anne, Kankakee County, Illinois. My ancestor lines were a very close knit group of people. Most of them traveled from St. Anne to Nebraska in 1868 together. So, it is just the matter of making the right connection. My g.g.g. grandmother Appoline Provencher/Provancha's second husband was Antoine Allain and she married her first husband Louis Provencher who were third cousins. The reason I mentioned this is to show how close my ancestors were. In Rootsweb posting, I mentioned that Cecile Allain married Alphone (Afonse) Boudreau b. 1825 - a fur trapper/farmer and also, that Pierre Boudreau's (Sr.) children married children of Michel Allain, so there is diffently a Boudreau connection with the Allains. The other connection is St. Anne, where Alphonse and Cecile's children were born and where the Allains were the first to own land. We need help from BOUDREAU descendants who came through St. Anne, Illinois, ONLY. That is my request. Since I had luck before when I posted on Rootsweb and Genforum for my Allain line that came through St. Anne. I thought I would do the same for my Boudreau line. Because, of my new found cousins, we can trace our Allain roots back to 1643, in France. So, I know it can work. I would like to find descendants of Pierre BOUDREAU, Sr. and Celestine Belanger, with these children: Elphere (Allain) - b. 17 Sep1876 Maxime Boudreau -23 June 18 1871, St. Anne, Kankakee County, Illinois --so I can trace this line of Boudreaus back and see if they have any connection to Alphonse and his brother Celestine. So, I am looking for BOUDREAU descendants who have ancestors, who have a link to St. Anne, Illinois. Through my cousins, I know there is a BOUDREAU - ALLAIN connection...........marriages, baptisms and deed records. I hoping that some descendant has Pierre Boudreau's (Sr) family tree, so we can trace his parents and siblings. Thank you, Mary Boudreau >>
