Unless, the surnames are CHARTIER (SHARKEY), I have very little infor on my surnames, 'who' married into the CHARTIER (SHARKEY) family. Do you have access to the Chartier Families, (a Complete Record of the Chartier Families in north America), ed by The American Section of the Chartier Family Association, Portland, OR, 1982? The only index for each volume is called Onomastic Index, the translation - index of all and only the Chartier/Sharkey males. My Summer project will be to index Vol 5. This is a 5 Volume set. My family is in Vol 5, The Carter-Chartiers and some unconnected marriages and the general index. I am on page 138. I am listing the page #, generation # and child #, from Vol 5: P 126 (VI) 6.

I am going through all my sources here in Hutchinson, KS looking for my surnames. And at the same time posting to our ILSTANNE group the infor - in hopes this will help me with my line and help members of our list also plus maybe someone is working on my family lines. I will keep your email and will email you if and when I have additional infor on GIRARD. Take Care. Becky Rebecca Sue Hatton Hutchinson KS bhatton@hplsck.org >Hi Becky, welcome to the list!
