    1. [ILSTANNE] Migration Tales
    2. Bonjour Everyone, The migration stories have been terrific. I've enjoyed everyone of them. One of my CHINIQUY's must have joined them in their travels. Charles-Louis Chiniquy, the son of Louis-Philippe and Emilie L'Ecuyer and brother to my gr grandfather, Emile Chiniquy, ended up in South Dakota working for the Pioneer Newspaper in Deadwood after his tour of duty in the Civil War. I have just started to gather information on him. He is listed in the 1880 census under the surname of CHINEQUY so I know that he was first living in Nebraska where his two daughters were born. Both girls were married in Deadwood and his wife, Permelia, is buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery where Wild Bill Hickock is buried. I never would have guessed that my relatives would have been mixed up with the wild west. It's so much fun tracing them and finding out all this interesting stuff. Now, if I could just figure out who that other Charles Chiniquy is that is listed in the 1880 census with a wife and three children in Lincoln, Nebraska. Oh, what fun.........Carol Anne
