Just had to comment -- It is so richly rewarding to witness 'connections' with families coming together even though they may be generations apart...they are still family finding each other after all this time! I only hope that someday I will also be able to experience this kind of pleasure. I am so very happy for those of you who have had the chance(s). Good luck to everyone else. It has been said that good things come to those who wait......

So, that makes Pierre and Dorothy/Dorthee your g g g grandparents and my g g grandparents ... is that right? Napoleon is my grandfather, Luke/Luc my g grandfather. And we are 'distant cousins'? If you would like to share information, I would be happy to. I can send a privatized gen report from Family Tree Maker, as an attachment. Others have been able to receive that. I am especially interested in times and locations of folks, as well as any other information. My Boudreau's went to CA about the turn of the century - 1900. I have a photo with my g grandmother, grandmother and her siblings in that period. I do not know much about their IL family connections, other than names and dates generously provided by others on the Boudreau List. (Born in CA, I now live in NY state.) I have found the repetition of names a wonderful example of paradox - confusing and helpful. Do you have any old photos of the ancestors? It all makes me very curious. Please advise if you would like to share more information.
