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 !

Bonjour to All, Did you know that the Tanksgiving Day had never been an important holiday in French Canada. The most important holidays were All Saints Day, the Saint-Martin and the Sainte-Catherine.
