Wow! I'd be hard pressed to invite only a few. If it were possible, I'd like to invite ALL the ancestors I have knowledge of so I could get even more information from each of them. I'd end up having the biggest genealogical database I could ever imagine. I'd also have personal histories about everyone of them. I'd have to give them all a form to complete on their knowledge of the family genealogy -- so, of course, that would mean they would all need to be able to read and write --- skills which many did not have. Wouldn't it be fun to transpose them into today's culture and hear what they thought about how much the world has changed since they lived? I've always thought that would make a fantastic science-fiction story/movie. I'd love to hear about not only genetics, but lifestyles as well. Don't know that the French, English, Germain, Jewish, Polish (sons), Welsh, Scottish, American Indian (Sioux, Apache, Blackfoot - 1st cousins), Chinese, (grand kids) Vietnamese (grand kids), would all get along -- might end up with another world war! LOL ! But, wouldn't it be fantastic if we actually could do this? Boy, we could instantly break down all our brick walls! I wouldn't be concerned with fame or notoriety - just would want to be able to have a chance to talk with all of them - don't think I'd be satisfied with a day, either -- I'd be greedy and want more time. FUN and FANTASTIC thought! Madeleine Sacramento, California

My, my - such a fine list of guests - each a character in his or her own right - I only hope they get along! (Must confess I did not invite my great-grandfather Joseph Guertin because he had a legendary temper and was described as contentious to the point of being downright litigious - not so much fun at a party!) It has been grand to see how these names have taken on life through our describing them when "considering" them as dinner guests - a pleasant exercise, I thought (inspired by a couple of other lists), and I heartily thank all who took part. Such questions we would have to ask these our ancestors - and they would want to ask each other, since the generations were mixed. Glad to see all the ALLAINs and also the Little Canada contingent - we owe them the choice of St. Anne's locatiom, I think. Then the HEBERT group - and then Ardis's Danish family - and her husband's German relatives - the GAUL, NADEAU, PARADIS, d'ORLEANS families - of course the BEAUPREs, the ARSENEAUs, the JOUBERTs - Here come the BARCELOUs, the St. JOHNs - two CHINIQUYs and a lone SCHULTE, as I recall. More, more - sorry if I'm missing anyone (doing this from memory), and sorry too about the spelling - we all know how THAT went, what with names being mispelled by all and sundry. And the mysteries - so interesting to get glimpses of twists and turns in our ancestors' lives. It may be that someday an exercise like this one will turn up answers to someone's puzzle. We can hope so. This is the joy of genealogy to me - to envision those names and dates as REAL PEOPLE, even at our imaginary party and even though Thanksgiving was not a customary French or Canadian holiday. Good food and good company - what's not to like! THANKS, EVERYONE. Had a grand time! Bye for now. . . Ginny

Dear Listers, My imagination has been running with the ever growing table of ancestors mentioned on this list. As my grandmother Rose BOUDREAU Heller would have said, "I'd like to be a little bird, fly around and peek in on everyone." What a surprise for me to be invited as a guest to a local Thanksgiving table with the NADEAU's ! Surely the NADEAU and PARADIS families had some connections on the Ile d'Orleans anytime from the early 1600's on.?. So, I will join my Ile d'Orleans 'cousins' for dessert ... after earlier turkey with the Gaul family. Wishing all the listers a very Happy Thanksgiving ... with a big thank you to each of you for bringing so many of my French Canadian ancestors to life !

St. Anne Listers, I know this is not related to genealogy...but it just may save the life of a loved one. My thanks to some dear friends in Canada (non French sorry to say) for passing this on. Every one else in my address book is also getting a copy of this. Please pass it on. Alan B. Subject: Signs of a Stroke ______________________________ During a BBQ a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed an getting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough. Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: 1. *Ask the individual to SMILE. 2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. 3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. BE A FRIEND AND SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE, you could save their lives. Let your friends know....... --------------------------------- Yahoo!
